Cell phones: Samsung Omnia (Verizon Wireless) & Mac

compatable with a Mac?

To sync with the Mac I used Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.app

It worked very well.

I made mine look and operate like and iPhone with iPhone v0.2 WAD2 QVGA Theme

But with on 1 1/2 hours left on my 30 trial w/ Verizon I took it back.
I have used Palm/Treo forever and it took too much effort to deal with Windows Mobile and I could not ever get to the place where with a SINGLE push of a SINGLE key I can:

Call any of 10 people (the main purpose of a PHONE after all) Back up my entire phone
Get my voice mail
open a text message pad which will give me name choices with only a couple letters entered
Read a book (with the pages scrolling at an easily adjustable speed)
Open a photo album
send a JOTT message
Make a goog 411 inquiry
Check my email on line
Open and email program and download all my messages
Open my favorite online news source
Listen to music through the speaker or my hearing aids
Check our local radar
Get the local hourly weather forecast
Open all the settings window
Take a picture or video
Open the calendar
Open the phone book
open my to do list
Open the window with all my applications

With two key strokes I can return a received call or make a call again
if the phone is lost, I can turn off my phone or wipe it clean remotely
Watch a movie
One key stroke and a tap and I am entering an appointment of a timed To-Do.
With two key strokes it looks up and enters the person's name & # in the call
At the completion of a stranger's call one tap saves the number and opens the address book to add the name etc.
One tap in the address book opens the map and one tap for an aerial view.
It doesn't have G3 but overall I am faster getting the info I need.
It is an old-outdated-much-cussed operating system but nothing else comes close - including the iPhone. (the iPhone is getting there but still takes too much time to do the tasks I do with one click) It has some bugs but it was more stable and overall faster operation that WinMo 6 and the Omnia.
When my phone rings it rings in my ears (hearing aids) in stereo and all I have to do to answer is tap the Streamer (size of an old apple shuffle) in shirt pocket

I just wish the damned GPS wasn't locked out! Haven't found a way around that.

ANYWAY I have given up on WinMo as not being worth it and will live with Treo & iPod Touch until AT&T gets its act and attitude together (like THAT will happen soon) or maybe the Palm Pre is available and will see what it can do.

But if you are happy with WinMo - the Omnia was great!
Good luck.
