2 very different machines, i sugest you try out the omnia before buying or try another new windows mobile device via a mate,

Tho the omnia is a windows mobile so touch screen it has no real keys and im a WM fan, but the device needs a kayboard and this dont, so i didnt get on with it, and neither did my mate so he sent it back and has ordered a n96

whats so good about this phone
The touch pro, see above post about omnia, another windows device, tho this has a keyboard

basically its more a computer ( pda ) than phone, that can do everything any other mobile device can do, probably crap camera tho.

you really need to play with one before buying one tho, as they are very different from a normall phone.

Tho ive has 4 WM devices and could never go back to a normal mobile

To be fair, most N series phones have had issues aswell, are the omnia issues big? or just the usual update to fix?

Anyone that has got the N96 can you tell me if you can actually use the tv feature on it?
Touch Pro looks good too.
