Now that I can upgrade, should I?

I've gotta agree with Kilen as I find myself in this boat as well. My Vogue is pimped out. Sadly the VZW TPro is hardware gimped and sluggish imo. On the other hand, the Omnia seems to show good promise but good luck finding widgets for it so far. To further complicate things the Omnia hax's out there are mainly for the GSM model (900) and some people have reported problems trying to port them to the VZW version.

So wait and you may get some goodies for the Omnia which appears capable of handling them.

Or go now and get the VZW TP that swims like Jimmy Hoffa with Concrete Sneakers.

My money atm is to wait.

I think any phone you get is going to have it's pros and cons. I've been getting the itch to upgrade also, but I don't think I will yet. I just got a peek at the Omnia on Samsung's site and I think it looks great, but I don't know anything about it. I have worked out the kinks in my Vogue and I'm happy with its configuration. The only reasons I'd ever upgrade to anything is due to hardware upgrade. Vogue doesn't have wifi, g-sensor, light sensor, or multi touch to name a few, but those things aren't everything. When WM7 is released, I may see what's on the market then and think about upgrading. Only then will all of those hardware features be able to be used to their full extent on the phone itself (OS support). In the mean time, you're only going to see applications that take advantage of that hardware. It's not worth it to me yet.

You can get an affordable Sprint Touch Pro for Verizon. Look into using ebay with Live Cashback

go for the BB storm. the phones that i want always end up coming out just after i "upgrade" to something else: i got the razr, the krzr comes out... i got the enV, the Dare comes out, i get the vogue, BB-S comes out.

needless to say, if the vogue is good now, it will be obsolete in about a week (stupid technology). so go ahead and get the BB and be done with it for another 5 months lol

well considering i had both the verizon touch pro and the sprint touch pro and i got my verizon for 420 - a 70 dollar mir (with an upgrade) and a brand new sprint in box for 450, the extra 100 was worth it, this phone is amazing. i use a sprint one on verizon because the verizon one was awfully slow, a brick, and not as sexy. the sprint one works perfectly, and has so many more options because everything was made for it

even though im with sprint... i came from a touch an love my tp.. its definately an upgrade from the 6800

I am a happy Sprint Vogue user and I think I will wait for a Touch HD-like device and skip the Diamond/Pro generation... the Vogue is just great for now... only thing I really want is a bigger (physically) screen, which the Diamond/TPro doesn't provide. So... I think I wait and continue to be happy with the Vogue...

I upgraded to the VZW Touch Pro from an xv6700 that was as good as one of those gets - WM6, extended battery - lots of good tweaks etc. The XV6850 out of the box is smooth and responsive. It's so much more memory that I've loaded everything I can think of and I'm nowhere near running out of storage or RAM. I love the keyboard and screen and most of all the built in GPS that lllboredlll unlocked. I ran the phone stock for a month just to get to know it. I have now upgraded to the scrosler/lllboredlll ROM and now its running even better. Can you believe that Verizon put out a phone good enough to turn me into a fanboy - I personally think we can all thank Apple for that - Verizon's churn over to ATT by iPhone buyers was a kick in the *** for them.
