If you're on Vista, and your Omnia is in Active Sync mode, The driver is already working. If you're in "phone as USB" mode on vista or XP, with or without the driver installed, it will charge much more slowly (because it's not registering as the Omnia, but a USB Drive instead). I've found if I plug my Omnia into my laptop, let Mobile Device Center start, and let it sit there, it charges nicely.

If you turn it off and charge, the Windows doesn't know it's your Omnia, and won't charge it with the higher 500ma charge either...
