Someone mentioned once here that you can put the stylus on your keychain (there always with u anyway) so you always have access to it when you need it.

I have been doing that for the past month or so and it works great that way. No damage to the stylus and it never gets tangled up in the keys.

The above post is right about slow typing on the virtual KB (my only gripe) put you eventually get used to it but never completely.

I have a 16gb microSD, so a total of 24gb of storage on my omnia. I load episodes of my favorite shows to watch when I have nothing else to do. Only real way to do this is to pair is with a set of BT headphones unless you have very little background noise.

A note about the annoying stylus issue -- on brando.com, there is a case for the omnia that stores its own stylus in it... and the case is way better than most the cases i've seen because it doesn't go up to the optical mouse button on the front. Mine always gets in the way.

Thank you for the help, the more research I do on this device the more I'm leaning toward it (esp the form, camera quality and memory/processor).

Just a last question: how is the call quality (volume, clarity) and does it have an external speaker for calls? I had to install a custom rom file on my 6800 since the volume was really bad.

I'm not sure how good the virtual keyboard is on the Omnia but just as an fyi.... I downloaded the Resco keyboard and it has an Iskin on it (I guess it's like the Iphones) but when I use that on my 6800 it's pretty quick. The only problem is that it takes up a lot of real estate.

Once again, thank you for all your help, I certainly appreciate it.

Hey, besides the larger, higher resolution OLED screen, lookee here. Looks like a microUSB connector! A 3.5 mm audio jack right in the phone! And the microSD slot is separate from the battery compartment. Amazing. Looks like you still have to remove the phone cover to access the card.
