Omnia worth it?

Edit: and although you can charge via the usb connector, it's slow and only can charge through activesync, not by a usb charger, like an ipod can.

I have emailed my rep, so hopefully I'll have one this week. I'm betting it's the same connector that the SCH-U740 uses, and luckily I still have all of my adapters (headphones included). I'll check with Verizon before I just go plugging it in, though. Thanks for the info.

I'm not so sure the Omnia will share the SCH-U740 plugs. A couple of websites I've looked at show different chargers/adapters for the U740 and the Omnia.

Of course, coughing up a few bucks for new accessories is a small price to pay IMHO.

especially on my company's dime. They gotta keep the Systems Admin happy. If SA ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Without a doubt. I'm one of several Network Administrators at my company and could certainly make life miserable for the rest of the enterprise. Of course, I had to buy my own Omnia. The company provided device is a cheap Motorola flip phone POS.
