Upgrading Soon - 3 possibles - help

I'm due for an upgrade soon and can't decide what phone to get. I like the Tocco, thats the winner so far, but i cant decide between that and the Omnia, and i've just seen the T-mobile G1 on the T-mobile website, is the G1 even worth considering along with the other two?

Re the Tocco and Omnia, I don't need the wifi so that is a con for the Omnia, and I generally prefer the Tocco, are there any major differences between the two that might sway my decision?

Oh and my mate has the Omnia and his texts come up in IM form, instead of say having 100 messages in his inbox from all different people there is one message from each person and when that person texts you it updates the message thats already in their, so if you have 5 people you text there will only be like 5 messages in your inbox, i love the idea of this as it saves you having to go through a million messages. Does the Tocco have this feature or is it unique to the Omnia? I don't know where I could find that out.

Help lol I have no idea which one i'm going to get, and now i've seen the G1 thats pricked my interest too!!

That's a windows mobile feature rather than a specific phone feature. I've got HTC touch running WM6.1 and once you get used to it it's great!

Yea thats true its not on the toco i dont think but could be corrected, basicly there two completly different class of phone.

the omnia uses touch screen technology so you can you your finger or a stylis where as the toco is heatsensative so you finger is needed to be used.

the omnia has 16gb of memory where as the toco is 512 mb good for playing videos etc as any avi is playable on the omnia

the omnia has good internet browsing and has full windows mobile features, word,exel powerpoint etc

not sure if the gps is on the toco but works well on the omnia

and last of all you can mod the omnia quite alot being windows mobile its basicly a pc on a phone.

both phones are good the toco looks nicer and is easier to use but features wise the omnia is a far better phone.

Lookswise I prefer the Tocco, I think the Omnia is a bit big for my liking. I'm not going to get the Omnia purely for that text feature, it's good though. I'd never use the WiFi so that is a put off aswell. I think I will probably stick to the Tocco as the Omnia has a lot of bits I wouldn't use on it. So it doesn't seem worth it, i'm still thinking about it though. It's a tough one.
