which one?

[Windsponge]

You all seem to be very good at what you do, would you all give me your your choise Omina or touch pro for verizon. I have tried both not sure which one to keep. Please help if you will. Thank you1

if you have fat-finger syndrome get the Touch Pro...but if u don't mind the touch screen keyboard the Omnia is great...

although there is more support and information for the Touch, the Verizon version isnt as good as the sprint version, this is why I chose the Omnia

i say omnia i likethe tp but its keyboard was small to me compared to moguls keyboard. plus if u really want a tp get a sprint one than put it on verizon just dont get the verizon one

The clencher for me was that I actually like on screen keyboards better than real ones (don't hate me). Plus, the battery doesn't last very long on the TP, probably because it is VGA (although the screen is actually smaller).

Much like other posters mentioned, I think the biggest difference is in the keyboard. You are looking at a 700wx user that absolutly SWORE by a physical keyboard!!! I am thrilled with the Omnia, it is not nearly as tough to type as I thought, and you can tweak the device so you hardly ever touch a stylus!! The Omnia runs smooth, is fast on the data, the 8GB onboard memory is FANTASTIC (I install 90% of my apps there), the camera is good (just don't expect a high quality 5MG, it takes tweaking), and the overall feel of the Omnia is good (I found the Touch Pro to be wide and awkward to hold!!

Feel free to ask about other details you want to know about, I am sure you can get a LOT of info here!!!

I also have been wanting to upgrade from my 68 although nothing is wrong with it nd it works just fine. I was really wanting to get the TP but with a slower CPU than Sprints, less RAM than Sprints, no FM radio and no GPS plus $50 more than Sprints, I was turned off.

I have has my eye on the Omnia also. I dont like the stylus and placement of it. I dont care for the flush and flat screen because some ppl (not me) like to lay it down face-forward and thus will scratch it.

I went to the VZW store yesterday and played with 2 TPs. They seemed a good but slow so I reset both of them. There was no telling how many ppl had been in there playing with them and how many apps were open in the background. After fully booting up the first thing I did was open the KB and I SWEAR it took 2-5 secs for the screen to go from portrait to landscape. I tried this on both devices and several times and this is how it was. Needless to say I wasnt inpressed. I also tried to moved the menus a bit and they seemed to stagger and were choppy and not "flowing" well.

Even with the Omnia not betting rebooted it still seened to flow well with dragging the widgets across the screen. It did take some time for the FM tuner to load and I was disappointed to see you had to have the earphones plugged it for it to work. I might as well keep Resco radio and stream stations that way. I dont wanna have to keep up with headphones if I wanna listen to music.

But overall I am leaning towards the Omnia. I am interested in seeing a Kitchen for it and unlocked GPS. I think I read where the GPS has been unlocked for the TP but I know I read where VZW will be giving stand-alone GPS for the TP and Omnia in 09 so we will see.

You can listen to FM without the headset, but you do still need the antenna wire plugged in. The TP was VERY slow for me as well in the store while pulling out the keyboard, and while I have heard there is a tweak to make it faster, I am not sure how MUCH faster it is.

As for the flat screen, I was hesitant about that as well, but there are some really good screen protectors out there, and just about any case will give you the edged effect you seem to be looking for.

As far as the GPS, VZW announced they are releasing GPS on all the devices they just put out...including the Omnia!! As soon as an updated ROM is released by Samsung/VZW, people will start kicking out ROMs + kitchens left and right....just look at (don't use, just look LOL) all the ROMs for the i900!!!!

[Windsponge]
