Good move. I've been a huge fan of HTC for years but their latest devices are just not good multi-media devices at all.

Both the Diamond and Touch pro video playback suck with every piece of software I've tried.

The Omnia on the other hand...WOW !

Awesome video playback, screen size is perfect, cool touch/mouse pad above all else...TV-out.

Can't believe I wasted so much money on a Touch Pro (damn thing can't even play a low bit rate 640x480 mp4 smoothly).

blah!
looks like its going to be over the weekend..worked another late night tonight

either way thats what i was thinking force..the video driver for the price i paid for my FUZE, should have been on point..BUT still im getting some increment lag..and that is no bueno!

so needless to say..i shall be on the hunt over the next few days for a new ROM, if any :confused: some themes..and some other goodies for the Omnia.

Have a read up over at the omnia modaco forums and also samsung-omnia.org
Lots of usefull info there plus tips and tweaks.

I gave my tpro to my daughter at UNC-CH, (and the guys all go crazy over it). I'm using an omnia on ATT, even though it's only on edge, no problem so far. I really like the extra stretch of the screen, even tho it's wqvga (my eyes don't see that big of a difference). The tv-out is a biggie for me. I use it a lot now for presentations. I could be wrong, but it seems the new stuff coming out don't have tv-out??:(

I can't see what the big deal is about VGA because the screens on both the Diamond and Touch pro are too small to see any real difference, even when compared with a QVGA device of the same size.

I done a demo (inc. high bit rate video) for a bunch of friends with the Diamond and Touch Dual (I love this qvga device) and they all loved the Dual.

As for WQVGA, the larger Omnia screen blows the latest HTC devices away and yes, the eyes don't see any less just because it's not VGA.

Playing Virtual Pool Mobile on a big screen plasma or LCD kicks ass.

Surfing the web on a big screen TV and using the Omnia as a mouse is just awesome too.

So come on HTC, sort out your video drivers and get on top of the game again.

The other thing that bugs me about my touch Pro is it's weight and depth.
It's like 2 Diamonds sandwiched together.
With todays technology, the qwerty keyboard should be a lot slimmer.

And finally, with such a fat device, why no built in memory ?
Don't tell me they didn't have space.

The Diamond had 4GB but the Touch Pro has non !!!!!

The Omnia has 8 or 16GB built in (depending on the version you buy) and a micro SD slot for expansion.

I love HTC but they are being left behind by others now.

IMHO, please hold the Sony Xperia X1 before deciding.

You'll have a very different oppinion after testing this device, it's amazing.
Not that the Omnia is a bad phone, no way, but the Xperia is far away in RAM, screen resolution, build quality etc.

Take a chance on it and hold it in your hand, turn it on and play a little with the keyboard, feel the metal chassis... you'll fall in love
