Quote from Migz :

Why does debranding things make them any faster?
And perhaps this is what is making his phone slower, as mine isnt branded :/

To quote a Nokia rep "we spend 5 years designing a phones operating systems and the networks take 3 months to ruin it".

Basically - they add bloat and sometimes lock off features for no real reason...

Quote from sam93 :

Good choice. You shouldn't have no problems with it but I do recommend that you get a case for it though so you dont scratch the screen. My dad works on a building site so there is loads of dust and the phone gets covered in it and it works fine, not one problem with it.

ok thanks for your help,
looks like i'll be getting the omnia, and if i'm not happy i know they always go for around £300-£400 even 2nd hand on ebay, so no problems
Thanks
