The Omnia gives you feedback for every virtual click with a tiny vibration, making it more repsonsive than many touch phones, and if you like this now-ubiquitous form factor but want to stand out from the crowd, it could be for you.

It runs on a familiar operating system that allows for basic functions like ring-tones and a phone book, and has GPRS network connectivity — nowhere near the breakneck speeds of 3G but adequate if you’ll use it primarily for voice communications.

The device is an odd, heavy and blocky shape and could be more comfortable or at least a bit more imaginative as the form factor of the new generation of landscape-oriented mobiles demands, and the signal dropped out or just failed to connect several times.
