I went to the Verizon store to look at the new Samsung Omnia. They didn't have it yet. :( But I played with the Storm some more.

It seems that they upgraded the phone, even though the clueless greeter said he didn't think so. It was faster than the previous time I played with the Storm. But still, the ads make the phone seem much nicer than it really is.

The new Samsung Omnia is really nice but it also requires a data plan. Such BS. I don't want to pay an extra $30 just to have this phone (or the Storm).

- On paper it looks great. However, I don't want to pay $30 just to have it (I don't really need a data plan) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 29, 20:52 7
  - Have you seen the CNet review? Text and video, both. -- (link) - Mop Nov 29, 20:56 6
    - Nice. Better thank the Storm hehe. Yeah, Verizon sort of blew it with the Storm.... But still..$30 a month. :( -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 29, 21:12 5
      - I wouldn't do it, because of the data plan. But if you want a fancy phone, you'll either have to pay for a data plan or an unlocked phone. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 21:15 4
        
        Well, the other option is LG Dare. Which is also pretty good. I played with it right after the Storm and it was super fast. It really sucks how they - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 29, 21:26 3
        
        Verizon has a deal for unlimited data, internet, everything + 900 minutes for $99 month. -- nm - jnine Nov 29, 22:44 2
        
        Yeah, but I am paying less than half that for almost all of that. If I upgrade past my enV I have to pay for data packets vs flat airtime. That's BS -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 07:12
        
        Yeah, I saw that but I am on the family plan. $9.99 vs $99 hehe :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 29, 23:02
