Pros
Ext memory slot
5mp camera
Looks and feels great
Cons
No keyboard
Ext memory slot is near where you put sim card so not hot swap
Low ram compared to other current models
After seeing a video review of the Samsung Omnia I was having doubts about my need for a keyboard as I originally wanted the Touch Pro or the Sony Ericsson Xperia. Anyway, patience and the fact of other keyboard handsets usually are more expensive I chose to go for the Omnia. Its quite a statement claiming it is all you will need but they are not far wrong. You have standard mobile feel with basic text, browse, calling and email plus the 5mp camera which you don't normally find in a windows mobile device. It has a light but not a real flash. The ease of use could cover windows noobs along with die hard wm users as you dont really need to touch the windows os if you dont really want to. It has a fantastic widget system on the today (homescreen) if you want it and you can personalise it by changing themes and backgrounds. (Perfect size for images is 400 x 374) or you can use Samsung today, WM today etc so it is up to you. The shortcuts on the main menu can be edited for your choice. It comes with standard wm applications plus being able to play DivX movies straight out of the box. I really love the headphones that came with the Omnia, they feel good in the ears and mine are sensitive plus they sound great too. The whole pre-installed size (8gb or 16gb) is ample compared to current models of othe handsets but also the ability to add your own micro sd makes it ideal to stick all your favourite music and movies on. I know I am waffling but even though I have only had this phone since yesterday, its brilliant. Before I go, gps works well as I have installed Garmin and having no problems. I hope I have managed to persuade at least 1 person to grab an Omnia and not buy another touch screen phone.
