Got this working on Vista (64bit even) by doing the following:

Used Mobile Device Center to backup contacts, notes, etc... If Mobile Device center doesn't work for you, then the UDML(sp?) won't either.

After backed up, turned OFF USB connections in Mobile device Center (The UDML uses the USB port and reboots the device multiple times, if Mobile Device Center is on, it will interrupt the UDML, which is why you turn off the USB for Mobile Device Center (or Active Sync on XP).

Unplugged Omnia.

Turned off Omnia.

Plugged Omnia Back in.

Ran UDML.

Selected the image file, and it automatically filled in the options for Phone, PDA, etc... Made sure Bootloaded and Initialize phone were unchecked.

Selected Detect.

Turned on Phone.

It detected the phone, updated the booter, reset the phone, updated the phone, reset it, pda, reset, etc... On final boot the UDML program said it was complete, and the phone booted to the windows 6.1 setup screen.

I didn't have to call VZW for reauthentication, and phone and data worked fine.

GPS wasn't working for GMaps so I did a *228, option 1, then a *228, option 2. Rebooted, and still wasn't working. Wondered if I was being too impatient, so I went outside and sat there for almost 10 minutes, but it found 5 sats and my position just fine. Used it this morning on the drive to work, and it was just like I had my old 6800 on the dash. Just with a wider screen. I am very happy.
