Advantages: Good looking, cheap second hand buy.

Disadvantages: Not up to the competition by a long way.

After seeing the advert poster for the Omnia and knowing that my existing phone contract was coming up for renewal, I was really exited about possibly getting my mits on this when I could not afford the I-phone and could not wait for the N97. Boy do i regret chosing the samsung. The touch screen is very dimb witted unless you use the stylus for 99% of the time. When sending a text message, the on screen keyboard has poos sensitivity of characters, especially near the edges of the screen.

The next issue i have, i suppose is my fault, in that I did not know that there would be so little applications and other stuff for download for the phone, considering the Iphone has a dedicated apps store. There is nothing that comes close for the samsung.

Anyway, the only advise i can give to people is that if you want a good lookign and reasonable phone for around £150 (second hand) then the omnia is a reasonable choice. But if you have either the choice or the money to be able to afford different, I would personally go for either Iphone of Nokia N97.

Summary: If possible make another choice.
