Ok i took a look on Verizon site and they dont mention the accelerometer at all. Took a look at HTC site and they do mention the feature but its not even in the highlights. Oh well i guess I will have to test this phone when i have a chance.

Wow, pretty ridiculous prices on these phones. Yea they're PDA's bla bla bla, but then again Verizon has always had a thing for raping people on their PDA devices, good lord!!

PDA/Smartphones from VZW generally do not have V Cast access. All new PDA/Smartphones launched from them will require a data plan of at least $29.99

played w/ the omnia today with the samsung rep. it actually works really well. goes a long way to get that bad Glyde taste out of your mouth.

Question, will you be able to add software to the Omnia I have never owned a smart phone I have the Voyager right now. Thanks in advance

Yes. All PDAs allow 3rd party app support. The Omnia runs on Windows mobile 6.1 professional, with a few tweeks to the interface courtasy of Samsung.

I just gave up on Windows Mobile Devices, I traded my 6900 for a curve over the weekend and really love the phone. These are cool phones, but I worry about software issues.
