I would suggest going for the Nokia. Samsung Omnia is a very old model. And Nokia phones have their own advantages like Lumia specific apps. Nokia Drive is a good example.

errm. ^ explain 😀

very old model? it was launched at the same time as 710.Much better SAMOLED screen(have seen both in person). Front facing camera. Nokia apps can be hacked to install to all WP devices. no reason to buy 710.

😀 i must be confusing it with something else then 😛

why recommend samsung over Nokia in this case?

i believe front facing camera?

what the f is wrong with samsung 😕

Also 710 has horrible audio quality. Nokia Lumia 710 vs. Samsung I8350 Omnia W: Battle of the affordable Windows Phones - GSMArena.com

its the same with all manufacturers, looking up specs at their site is a pain. GSMarena is such a boon.

the color combination was seizure inducing 😀 and i thought Nokia at least managed to get the phone aspect right in their phones!

I think you got confused with Samsung Focus or Omnia 7.

Its now around 14K. 1 Samsung shop was selling for 14200 in my area.

Lookwise, the Samsung Omnia W. I have never found a use for a front faced camera so I am not too sure if that is a deal breaker. However, the Lumia 710 scores with the Drive app, and of course far better build quality. Display wise, the Lumia has the CBD with Gorilla glass which is awesome for reading and better under sunlight, and the Omnia holds its end with the SAMOLED - better for pictures etc.

Nokia Lumia phones needs micro sim, this dependency I hate.

Also consider the fact that both phones have only 8gb of internal space out of which i think around 4.5-5 gb is user available and no card expansion slot. Also its still not sure whether these phones will be upgraded to WP 8. if ~5gb enough for you and you can overlook the upgrade fact then go for omnia w as its better than Nokia.

Micro Sim is big thing to worry as we are planning to replace few BB with WP7 phone ... so with Micro Sim loose flexibility of changing the handset in case of any problem .. hummmmm

is it because .. Microsoft is more friendly with Nokia ???

Dell Venue Pro is something that can also be added in the list based on the criteria given(I am sure I can expect some criticism for even mentioning it here)Has Keyboard & is heavyWifi was a problem in some places before, not sure now...But it has some pluses as well..Edit: Had mentioned Froyo by mistake..
