Well an i900 wouldn't be an option for me, I wanted a phone with a physical keyboard. But if you don't mind that, then go for it.

Here in Italy the i900 was released 5 days ago;
If you preordered it (even the day before) a Xbox360 Arcade was bundled in the package

No physical keyboard it's a no-go for me too, but now I'm beginning to regret my choice...

Edit: The phone is priced 499€, like the unlocked Iphone 8GB

Get the Touch Pro if you want the keyboard. That should be out earlier. Myself am considering that change.

Yes, but seeing the HTC DIamond is hitting around 650$, the Touch Pro will not just be a measly 50$ extra, actually to think of it now, if the Touch Pro or the Xperia are above 800 with a few months on ebay, I could go to the diamond....

There better be some news about these phones soon, I'm selling my blackjack in Spetember!

If you don't wait a few more weeks you will enjoy a 5 mpx camara but you will have to live with a low screen of 240x320, no video calls, no real keyboard, no internet with flash support, no hot swap memory card, no stylus, no screen in direct sunlight, no standar usb no Xperia X1

Few more weeks? Definitely more than that. And well, there is a stylus, just that there's no slot for it on the Omnia.

It should, but if the phone was not originally bought from the Wireless carrier, be prepared to sell your soul... It's much cheaper when you want a data plan on a phone that is bought from the Carrier...

Edit: Actually NM about it being cheaper when the phone is bought from the carrier your data plan is, I asked Fido (A side company of ROGERS) and they told me no it usually doesn't matter where the phone came from... Except the iPhone... needs to come from the carrier.
