It would only be a lawsuit if they imposed this on customers who already had PDAs prior to this new policy. But they don't. This is for all new and upgraded purchases of smartphones. Here's the deal ... no one has to buy one. It's that simple. And you just wait a little while longer; because the other companies will soon follow suit. The smartphones have a ton of features, I know, but so do the other "dumbphones". I would never shell out hundreds of bucks on a phone just to text, make calls, and keep appointments..... all because the phone looks cool. I can get a dumbphone to do all those things. Again, they are not forcing anything on a customer because you simply have the option to buy or not to buy.

In response to one comment, you do not have to upgrade to a Nationwide Data Plan for the Omnia i900. You just need your current America's Choice II Voice Only Plan, and the phone is $249 if you get it when you're eligible for New Every Two. If you aren't eligible for New Every Two, it is around $499. I may get it tomorrow on Black Friday. BTW, this phone was supposed to be announced in December, but thanks to you VZW customers and Samsung, it was released early! Thanks, Verizon, for the best coverage in my area, and the best device selection! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

I am currently on a family plan, my line is the 10 dollars extra and i have unlimited texting, so would i just have to pay 30 dollars more per month if i got the omnia, or would i need a new plan all together?

You should just be able to add the 30 bucks a month for the data in most cases. I have to say I have seen a lot of WinMo smartphones in my day and this one pretty much annihilates all of them. Get your hands on one when they get into stores on the 8th and play with it, it is absolutely amazing.

@119 No At&T uses GSM technology the verizon omnia is CDMA, but you could get the Overseas GSM version and use that on AT&T

coming to AT&T probably not they already have several all touch screen phones from samsung on thier line up so i dout it but you never know. Like i said GSM will work on AT&T but i have herd the 3G dosent work or something. I think the touch screen is pretty responsive, phone is a little glitchy though. I cant even run the smasung touch player anymore for some reason after i loaded all my music I tell it to search for new songs and the player crashes. but it still has windows media player i can listen to music trough just not as nice of an interface. and i cant seem to get DIVX or XVId videos to play at all. only get sound and no video, tryed lots of differnt files encoded by different people and no luck.
