I have an Omnia . The on screen keyboard is absolutely horrendous. Doubly worse if you let the screen auto rotate and try to use it in landscape mode.My fingers are fairly large. More than once I've been tempted to throw it out the car window or across the room. There is an update for it that allegedly improves the keyboard feel but it is available everywhere in the world except the USA. Word is that the update will eventually be released for Verizon. I would not recommend this phone at this time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glen Johnson" < gjohnson @ vhcc . edu > To: "NT System Admin Issues" < ntsysadmin @ lyris .sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 8:42:11 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Smartphone
I’m looking for a new smartphone/pda and I remember some discussions on here recently so I figure I can get some good opinions. I missed an important event last night so I need something to carry with me that can sync with my outlook calendar. I’m in a contract with Verizon for another 18 months, just got a plain ole dumb phone and so I’m going to have to buy on fleabay or some other second source to get a decent price. I’ve been looking at the Samsung Omnia , but the support guy at our local store said they had seen lots of returns of those. I’ve found a few negative comments online re this one but most are positive. Anyone here have experience with this one, good or bad. Any other recommendations for a phone that works with VZ? Don’t want a keyboard, like the BB or the slider on the HTC 6700 or 6800. Touch screen is fine. Music playback with Bluetooth is a plus as well as memory expansion. I don’t like the fact that the Omnia doesn’t have a standard 3.5mm earphone jack but I can live with that omission. Thanks guys and gals. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
