Samsung Omnia II & Jet
Omnia Ii Dimensions
Your review mentions that this "is a big phone". Are its dimensions different from the Omnia 910? I am planning to wait for the Omnis II to hit Verizon (they won't state when)... But if it's dimensions are a lot larger, I might be better off getting the 910 and doing all the software upgrades.
The reason it's Resistive...
is because Windows Mobile doesn't support capacitive touch screens... since Windows Mobile doesn't have multitouch now anyway who needs a capacitive screen.
Just my $0.02...

The OS shouldn't care what the hardware is. From an OS standpoint, at least from Windows Mobile's perspective, WM doesn't care if you have a touch creen or a mouse or whatever, they are all just "pointing devices", and unless WM behaves radically dif...

Sprint getting Omnia II as well?
I could have sworn I saw rumors Sprint will get it too? Anyway, sounds like it wil go head to head with Touch Pro II... I got to play with a TPII a bit and it was nice!
Is the Jet considered a "Smartphone"?
Since the Jet isn't running off of Windows Mobile, is it still considered a smart phone? It would be nice if not, so that I can get it w/o having to upgrade my plan to "PDA/smartphone"
I don't think the Jet would be considered a smart phone, but it seems like the Jet isn't coming to the U.S. You can read at the bottom of one of the pages about that...
800 MHZ!!! EIGHT HUNDRED MEGAHERTZ!!!
WOAH!
That's a lot of Mega Hurting! Take that iPhone!
800 > 566
Better have a good GPU this time around.

Capacitance vs. Resistive Touch Screens
Not sure why you dump on resistive touch screens?
Both screens have their advantages: I prefer resistive, as I can use it with gloves on, or with anything pointy to use as a stylus. Ladies like resistive as they can use their finger nails.
Multi-touch has it's place, but I don't want that functionality as much as I want to be able use a stylus or finger nail any old time I want to.
Other users will have more desire for multi-touch, and that's fine too. I just don't get that you don't get that resistive is still a good technology.
I think some iProduct users get frustrated with resistive, when they try to swipe their finger on the screen, but they don't press down when they do it. The swipe feature works equally well on resist...
