About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (565)

Another touchscreen phone we are keeping a close eye on is the Omnia, as the Touch Diamond’s direct competition Samsung hasn’t disappointed. This beefed-up Tocco now has Windows Mobile support to make it a lot more useful than the pretty, yet slightly vacuous F480. But it did look a tad dull…

Not any more as the easily impressed amongst us have spied this picture of a new back panel! The ‘Snow White’ edition will be limited to the 16GB Omnia (iPhone 3G much?) and has been earmarked for a far-eastern release, with other territories to follow once the phone is actually available there. Fair enough, and the reviews have been favourable, so roll on White (sort of) Omnia!

Can’t shake the feeling that this smacks of ‘Malibu Stacy’ syndrome… That episode of the Simpsons where the kids go wild over the same old Malibu Stacy doll with a new plastic hat? Maybe it’s just me.
