Seems to me the main differences are WiFi access and iTunes/iPod integration.
How bad do you want these things is a better question?

Peace.

My mate has just got an Omnia, I have an iphone 3g. He won't stop complaining about his, and I hate the touchscreen on it after using the iPhone. His camera rarely works (complains about lack of video memory) and it takes ages to switch on.

iPhone all the way for me.

Throw a Sony Ericsson c905 into the mix, touch screen isn't everything.

Just get the damn iPhone 3G then.
They crash when people install stupid shit and funky apps.
Just don't do that.

My good justification: you buy a shit model, it's gonna be shit.

the w series are walkman phones, the k and c series are camera phones. I would never buy a w model. The k800i is the best phone I've ever had, and I go through them like a cunt. The c905 is basically an upgrade of that with an 8.1 megapixel camera.

If you're that concerned about the reliability and capabilities of your phone don't get an iPhone, and Samsung don't make brilliant phones. Go for a high end Sony Ericsson or a Nokia. Although it looks like all you want is a touch screen, if that's the case then get a shitty iPhone 3G. Either way you're gonna waste a lot of money on over priced tech.

Sony Erricsons rule, the build quality of the K800i was nothing short of fantastic, I swapped to an iPhone from one purely because I wanted the unlimited internet, anything else the Sony was brilliant at.

Yes I have played with an iPhone 3G (I've spend a lot of time in o2 shops over the past year,) and yeah it's pretty impressive in some respects, but it lacks in basics, I wasn't prepared to buy it for the small improvement on its predecessor. As for the justification of my point, well my didn't your lack of argument prove me wrong. Fuck, without you, totse would be nothing.
