To iPhone or not to iPhone...that WAS the question

Very excited, have decided once and for all that I'm going to get the new Samsung Omnia.
Had quite a debate raging for a while, Omnia vs iPhone vs Blackberry Storm. The Nokia version wasn't ever really in the running because from reports they haven't really developed a contender yet, but I can't see it being far off.



Eca has an iPhone, and I've had a play, and they ARE very cool. Plus their advertising has been very compelling ....


The Blackberry looked good. I was interested to know how they would fare in the debate, as I've never had a Blackberry, but I'm aware of their CrackBerry nickname.
The Blackberry Storm lost in the end because while you could say they have a TouchScreen, in a fashion, its actually one giant clear button for a display screen, which makes textng really slow, which put it straight out of the running.
But in the end the Omnia won because
  • It has bluetooth
  • It has MMS
  • It has a flash on the camera.
Simple as that. I'll post pix when I actually have it! Squee!

Hey its a free country!
You can say what you like, it need not even be totally relevant, and feel free to argue the point with me.
