My advice to you would be just to order the Verizon Touch Pro, come with free overnight shipping online so you'll have it the next day, and try it out. Verizon has a 30 day test drive policy and within 30 days if your husband doesnt like it you can just send it back and pursue a different route then. Verizon is very good to deal with in that manner and have always been willing to accomodate my requests.

I just had the Omnia a few weeks ago I paid full retail for , used the hell out of it for a couple weeks and decided the Touch Pro was the better investment , and sent back the Omnia with the included FED EX 2 day labels and recieved a FULL refund in a few days flat. It is a painless process , you dont even have to explain anything beyond that you just simply changed your mind.

Something else you might want to consider is adding a line to get the promotional price and then paying the ETF a month later and you still get that 30 day window in case you change your mind. For instance I paid 559.99 + tax for the Omnia totalling $594 full retail. However the price of the Omnia just dropped on a 2 year contract to $99. So you buy the Omnia for $99 get free overnight shipping and use it for 31 days then call and cancel that line. You will be charged a 175 ETF but that makes you only into the Omnia a total of $274 vs the $594 full retail that I paid.

The Verizon Touch Pro is still not near as good of a deal but you can still save a nice chunk of change. Full retail for the Verizon TP after tax for me is also $594 same as the Omnia. But on a 2 year add a line its only $269.99 (what I paid) wait 31 days and cancel the line giving you an ETF of $175 totalling $444 which is still $150 saved minus the original sales tax. All depends on how much money you want to spend or save for that matter.

Good luck with your decision!
