OMNIA or DIAMOND ????

[dwnsouf7]

ive had the sprint htc diamond flash to metro for a couple of months now....the unlimited minutes and internet etc. of metro iz great......But what about the oMnia from samsung ???? looks like it has a bigger screen..and also has the same features as my diamond,,,That bigger screen is a must..i think i stare too hard sometimes just looking at a simple movie..i dunno if i should wait for that touch 2 to finaly be out for sprint or verizon or juss switch to samsung and leave htc ?? wuh do u guyz think ? you think samsung can handle as much as an htc?

as a former diamond owner and current omnia owner i'll say this i would go with the omnia the camera is great better battery life and to me a more responsive touch screen a vga screen would have been nice but even though it's lower res than diamond it is still very nice bright clear picture

Rumored by Christmas but you know how rumors go and this is Verizon we are talking about.

I live off the beaten path and my Omnia does pretty well on reception. It will depend on your area though.

If you can wait, the new whitestone (Verizon's Diamond 2 variant) look promising. It has already passed FCC.

"Whitestone will essentially be a larger-screened Diamond2 variant with a multimedia focus, which is evident in the media button on the front and a 5-megapixel camera."

You might recall that there was a "Whitestone" in there, rumored to be packing a wide VGA display, 5 megapixel camera, and global GSM / CDMA support for Verizon sometime around September.

Never touched a Diamond, but comin from a 6800 HTC Titan I have to say that the Titan had better reception...not by much.
But thats the ONLY thing the HTC had over the Omnia....I second the better battery live, and the enormous screen is a delight.
