Video is smooth and high-quality, too. The two remaining features, one great, one not so much, kind of put it in a nutshell. Yeah, way too often. This button can also serve as your actual mouse in a pointer mode. Super handy. The last feature was also the last thing I pulled from the packaging…a sexy little telescoping stylus with a snap-on cap that they expect you to dangle by a short cord from the phone itself. Sorry to say, at times you still need it.
However, the TouchWiz widgets are few and not expandable, so I quickly put it by the wayside, as will most people who realize they can. Being a Verizon phone, I was pleasantly surprised at how the nature of Windows Mobile kept Verizon from putting their nasty clawprints on every corner of the software.
I can copy music, ringtones, applications, pics, and interface skins to and from the Omnia without paying Verizon to do so or needing their services or blessing in any way.

A few parting notes about software. Fortunately, a little digging will reveal some great software for the Omnia. For example, it comes with a solid Opera Mobile browser, but the outstanding Skyfire browser now supports the Omnia in its latest beta.
The best news is, Skyfire supports Flash, Silverlight, and just about every other type of streaming media out there. Yeah, it can do those. Spb Mobile Shell is an excellent touchable interface to put on WinMo, and their other apps are equally top-notch. Netflix has an app to remotely manage my movie queue. Skype, fring, and a host of others allow VOIP calls if you want to save those airtime minutes over wi-fi if you want to save data charges.
There are apps for Facebook , and you can upload pics and video to Flickr, YouTube, etc. Google Maps and a number of their other mobile apps are supported, and both Podcasts and RSS feeds are handled by baked-in utilities. And lastly, just this weekend I discovered Qik , an app that lets me stream live video from my phone over 3G or wi-fi to be viewed in real time via the Qik web site, which has endless possibilities.
