I have had this thing for two weeks, and I just about hate it.  half of our upper manangement has gone back
to the curve, with which I could type about 20 words a minute with my thumbs.

it's screen does rock.  and it is a great web browser.  but the touch screen keypad laves much to be desired.

too many of my emails are sent saying, "ppaoe sttend a mrrtinf on the 4th".

I am going to keep it, and assume that I will develop the muscle memory to become effective.

I got the Omnia and I love it.

It is sort of a windows-based iPhone:

It has a screen-based keyboard that I am getting used to, but I have never thumb-texted so it makes no difference to me.

My prior phone/PDA had a keyboard but it was large and heavy:

Bottom line: You can get used to anything.
