I've had the Saga for a few days now.. amazing phone, finally traded in my trusty i730. Didn't feel like fn around with the Omnia's accelerometer hang-ups or dangling styli. I write alot of emails and the Omnia's on-screen keyboard takes 2-3 times as long to type on as the Saga's physical qwerty. Also, on the Saga the optical thumb mouse is apx 1/3 of the way up the unit allowing for optimal use. On the Omnia, the sensor is at the very bottom. That's be great if I had a thumb growing out the bottom of my hand, but I dont.

I do not own one, but from reviews i've seen elsewhere, theyve said the videos look good. It has DivX support and some other popular formats.

This phone is great.. anyone currently using this phone for sprint? I was thinking about buying an unlocked version since verizon is requiring that you have a $30 data plan.

That would be sweet if you could get around that damn 29.99 data plan. Verizon finally comes out with a decent phone with Wi-Fi and then mandates a 29.99 data plan to go along with it. Greedy bastards, I hope nobody buys this damn thing until Verizon changes their mind on the data plan.. If you have access to Wi-FI, it is difficult to justify 360.00 a year for something that you don't need.

Maybe they dropped the price because nobody is buying due to the stupid F*cking data plan requirement!

It certainly has stopped everybody from buying the I-phone

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Omnio is selling like hotcakes. The $29.99 required data plan has hardly stopped anyone who really wants this from buying it.

Yeah, why would you want a phone that can do all this cool web surfing and HAVE to get a data plan? Waaay, waaay, Give me a break bro. Quit whining about having to pay for a data pkg. At least its not the 44.99 pkg, which used to be the only option to get unlimited. The great thing about having the wifi too is that if you're in an area that you can't pick up EVDO, or don't have service, you can at least get on the net. And everyone seems to be over looking the cost of AT&T's data plan for the i-Phone.

they dropped the price to offer customers another device if they didn't want to order the storm or wait for it to come back in stock has nothing to do with the data fee, douche

its not an fm transmitter like on the chocolate 3 or the fusic, its an actual fm radio. i played with one in store today and saw the feature but the phone was not active and i couldn't use it.

It is an FM tuner, NOT a transmitter. Simply plug in some stereo headphones and it will use the headphones as your antennae.
