My wife and I have been using a pair of HTC Apaches for the last 3 years. The only reason the darn things lasted that long is because of this site and Helmi's kitchen's that made the phones at least bearable.

Well... this morning I bit the bullet and upgraded both phones to Omnias. I can't be happier. For the 1st time, I feel like I own a good phone, AND a good PDA. The 6700's were good PDAs and terrible phones.

The Omnia is Windows... its got its bugs right out of the box... but I can at least hear when I make a call!!!

Looking forward to making the Omnia "be all it can be".

Another new Omnia on its way. I should have mine Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully it is worth the upgrade.

I agree. Right now I would say my Omnia is 99% perfect. The only thing missing is unlocked GPS, and that is coming from Verizon.

But other than that, I have everything tweaked the way I like it and having played with an iphone and a storm, I have to say that I wouldn't change.

Not trying to brag at all, but I make enough money that cell phone price is no object for me. I paid full pop for my Omnia ($537.00) and if I found a better phone tomorrow I would easily dump the Omnia and go for it. But that said, with price being no object, I still prefer the Omnia over ANYTHING out there.

Again, not bragging but just pointing out that I simply think the Omnia is the best bar none for the US market. If and when the Touch HD Pro comes to Verizon (one with a hard keyboard was leaked from CES) then I might have to consider that.

I dunno about a hard keyboard Touch HD. Sounds like a return trip to Bulky Town. I love how the Omnia fits in my pocket and would prefer not returning to the XV6700 size I had before.

That screen sure is to die for though.

I played around with the Touch Pro (can't remember the new name VZW gave it...xv6850 or something) and all I could think was 'Am I holding two of them? I couldn't believe how thick + heavy it was. People complain about the Treo's being bulky, but this one has it beat. The Omnia is so thin + light I aften forget I have it in a pocket...even my shirt pocket (I pray I don't lean to far over a hard surface)!!!!

So far I think the Omnia has all the other options beat!! I thing the slightly smaller size is even more comfortable than the iPhone in a pocket or hand (they are too wide to be really comfortable as a phone to me)!!

Add another former apache user to the mix. Just got my Omnia last evening with my NE2. So far fairly pleased, although my favorite app-task manager... "Quickmenu" is a bit quirky so far as if it wants to load up at startup (as it should) or not.

I find a strange occurance with some apps (more on the Omnia than others) that some need time to 'Settle In' or 'Adjust'. I have had a few apps cause problems or not work as it should for a couple days and then they seem to fit in and work, so give the app a little while before you give up on it....you never know!
