My Omnia has GPS (limited by Verizon), WiFi, a 5 MP camera (with autofocus), TV out support and an FM radio. It doesn't have a 3.5" headphone jack (you have to connect an adapter to the sync port just like for TV out), but I have 8 GB internal Flash.<br><br>Steve Most of what you mentioned was already in the Omnia.

Have you seen the technical specs yet? Of course it has teh standard gps and wif support, but you also get a 5 mp camera and tv out support, not to mention standard 3.5" headophones with an FM radio and over 1 gb of internal memeory. With sd cards you can go up to 32 gb. Wow is all I can say! Wow… this windows mobile powered samsung beauty is incredible. Have you seen the technical specs yet?

The processor proobably doesn't need the full 800 MHz all of the time.<br><br>Steve If the processor scales its speeds, it may not be that bad.

With an 800Mhz processor it's going to be short-lived. That would be an extended battery on a 400Mhz device.<br><br>-CB 1500mAh battery? With an 800Mhz processor it's going to be short-lived.
