Hi all,
I am now an owner of a shiny new windows mobile device; this is the Samsung Omnia i900. This device is fully loaded:
Now the phone is really nice, BUT I am having second thoughts. Firstly I am still not that keen on having to have a contract to have the phone (cheapest way), secondly I still feel that WM is stylus based and in my opinion a stylus is not ideal for a phone.
The other problem is that it does not do that much more than my PDA, yes the GPS is built in and yes it’s nice to have an all in one but am I just after a new gadget?
So do I
Sorry for the long post, can’t make my mind up and its annoying me now. Your opinions will be much appreciated

So do I
- Return the phone and cancel my contract (I think I can under my 14 days ‘cool – off’ period (it would be nice if somebody could confirm that is true with Vodafone) – I would then wait to see what WM7 and Android brings to the table
- Or do I try and embrace a WM smartphone and use different apps to cover the parts of the interface that is dated (with programs such as the excellent SPB mobile shell)
