Device(s): Omnia 8gb



My contract is up on my SPV-E650 and its been good but I am liking the look of the Omnia, it does everything I want and most importantly I can use my 8GB Micro SDHC in it to give 16GB (HTC Touch Diamond would have been the choice but it is crippled IMO by the lack of expansion). I can get it on O2 18 month deal for £30 a month and a free phone which is about the same as my current Orange deal.
All the reviews have been very good but there are a couple of concerns I have before I jump in for my first touchscreen phone firstly does it really not have a mini USB2 port for connection to PC and charging (not the end of the world but a PITA)?
What is reliability like as the Orange buy said a lot had come back with problems (Software and Hardware) and also Samsung couldn't get parts for it?
Does anyone use TomTom Mobile 5 on theirs, I have it from back when I had my SPV-C550 and use it on the E650?

Cheers,

Carl.

No its doesnt have miniUSB its Samsung proprietary jack, Reliability in my personal opinion is very good dependant on the ROM but i havent been using official ROMs so thats to be expected.
To be honest i imagine alot get returned as people possibly dont realise its a WinMo device with such a consumer push and just dont have time for windows or like the interface just my thoughts...?

I can live with the non USB connection, will just need a new car charger. THe E650 is my second WinMO device and I am well versed in the interface so no problems there. I won't use any un-official ROMs if I don#t have to but cheers for the feedback.
