The 6900 is probably a good choice for a touch screen. If you can live WITHOUT the touch screen I'm using a Motorola Q from Verizon these days and I'm pretty happy with it. Performs well, requires about 99% fewer resets than my old XV6800 (HTC) did and just seems all the way around pretty solid.
WM6.1 syncs beautifully with my Exchange server for Calendar, Contacts, e-mail, OneNote Mobile, etc. Ben M.

No issues with it at all. There is even a WM 6.1 upgrade for it, and you can get a cooked ROM that allows you to use the GPS without having to use Verizon's VZ Navigator service. I probably would have gotten the Omnia if I could have justified the expense.

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. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
