1) Yes, I will agree with you that Verizon is typically a bit smoother in terms of the business, but look at it this way: The prices are exponentially higher, and the customer service is somewhat strict. With Sprint, you can call back multiple times until you get someone who will give you what you want. For an example: They weren't going to replace my Diamond at first, but I spoke to another(a manager) and she did it right away.
3) Memory is about the only fault I can think of on the Diamond, but really: If you need 10 gigs of music and a bunch of movies, you should probably have a device dedicated just to that, something like and Ipod Touch.
4) The ROMs. Biggest key difference. ROMs for the Omnia is basically just a few applications in kind of a "software suite". On the Diamond, we port XIPs, update the SYSs, beta test Windows Mobile 6.5, test various drivers, get new builds every week, do tons of registry edits. HTC is the heart of customization within Windows Mobile, and the Diamond is one of the most integral parts of their lineup. Omnia hasn't even fully cracked their ROM yet..
6) The Diamond is about half an inch thick, and has a decent weight to it. It's not heavy, but you can tell it's solidly built and durable.
7) Alright. It's true that the Stock Sprint diamond has a small issue with it's Audiopara3 file, that it is a bit lower than it should be. It's the matter of replacing one file that boosts the sound incredibly, and makes audio vibrant and crisp. All Custom ROMs have this tweak installed.
He is worried about the most customizable phone, so you refer to him you "can install a bunch of apps". -_-

1. You can pretty much do that with Verizon reps too. Yes, it is more expensive but I still get better reception then Sprint phones in my area.
3. Or you get a device that has the capability of having more storage. The Omnia fits this while the Diamond does not.
4. Yes, it is nice to have that much customization but Omnias have WM6.5 ROMs too (i900). I was looking at one today. Unfortunately, the i910 hasn't been fully cracked yet but I have a feeling that is due to lack of people using it. That will change as more carriers pick up the Omnia. Bell is getting it now and they usually provide more updates.
6. You might want to do a little research on this comment. It has been proven in videos that the Omnia can with stand more damage and continue to work then the Diamond.
7. Yes true. Out of the box though the Omnia is better.
