Recently I’ve noticed a lot of comments in our forum and abroad with people torn between the Samsung Omnia and the BlackBerry Storm. Personally, I’ve played with both and have to say that while I like the look of the Storm (sleek black with a nice big screen) the Omnia is the clear winner for me. One of the big turn offs for me with the Storm is (though I understand it was supposed to be a major selling point) its SurePress feature (the screen allows the user to navigate through the phone using their fingertip, similar to a computer’s mouse, and “click” the screen by physically pushing down the screen to select.) I’m a double-tap-to-select kinda gal, so it’s just not my style. I have the feeling my fingers would get tired of typing quite quickly on a device like the Storm. Alright, so maybe that’s nit-picky of me but that’s enough to rule it out for me, the text messaging addict. Plus the Omnia comes in 16GB and 8GB versions – cool!

Without further ado, I’ve gone ahead and broken down the specs into an easy to read chart. I hope this helps those of you choose wisely when deciding what device to take home and call your own!
