Best phone ever!

I've always been the anti-tech type. I was completely against smart phones and all those types. Then I went in for my 2 year upgrade and started playing with this phone. I've never been happier with my phone choice before. Oh, and the swype feature is the coolest thing ever!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love most of this phone, Very solid and dependable. Dont like the Swype feature. Spend more time correcting the Swype text than simply writing it out the words. Could have some some more theme choices etc. Battery life is fantastic as long as you keep ending programs in Task Switcher. Closing a program does not turn it off. This is a pain and poor design. Dont expect to use you finger to operate because most icons and selectables are too small to finger. Must use the stylus for most functions.
Samsung does it again with the Omnia II by consistently providing a durable phone that withstands the daily abuse I subject a phone to. The battery life is great allowing reliable use away from the charger. The OS is easy to use. The camera takes great pics. Never had a reception issue. Price was below similar smart phones in the same class. Only two cons are the touchscreen seems non-responsive at times and the lock screen button is too close to the camera button.
Cons: lock button and camera button too close, touchscreen slow to respond

Ok, but...

The number one positive for this phone is the Operating System - Windows Mobile 6.5. Samsung has added some features to try to improve the OS but it does not integrate properly. The Samsun Facebook App just doesn't work. And the contacts and calendar leave out fields that the Windows Mobile contacts and calender include. It also makes it more difficult to add information. Additionally, when you add a category to the calendar and contacts, it cannot be modified or deleted.
Major down is there are no accessories available specifically for this phone - at least at the service provider's stores, other provider's stores, and other electronics stores. The screen is very very soft and the included stylus will scratch the screen deeply (mine scratched the first day I had it.)
I do like the amount of memory this phone has. But it is difficult to organize.
The phone stores all facebook pictures seen and every direction given via GPS whic then gumms up your media player. (the media player will search the phone, find all of these things and put them in your library.)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, operating system - winmo 6.5, accepts a 16 gb memory card
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, screen scratches easily, no accessories for this phone, does not come with memory card, poor memory management
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lot's of features

Phone itself is beautiful - phenomenal display, great ergonomics (except for the "ok" button). There are a ton of features and therein lies the problem. There are too many redundant features and too many ways to access them. Seems like there are three separate operating systems - the widget links, windows, and the cube. I've never used the cube and don't see the point. SWYPE is great. Camera is excellent. My only real complaint is the OS. BlackBerry OS and the Android OS are much easier to use.
