The Touch Diamond has decent multimedia quality, but I've seen several handsets with better music and video players.

Music and video playback on the Touch Diamond isn't bad, but the lack of expansion capabilities doesn't make this an ideal multimedia phone.
3

A 3-megapixel camera and 4GB storage limitation cripples the Touch Diamond. It has a smaller screen, but it has a higher resolution. Also, Sprint TV isn't that hot.

The Omnia's music quality is about the same as the Touch Diamond, but its video and photo quality are better.
4

The Samsung Omnia has a better camera and an expansion slot, so you get more multimedia power here. Plus, you get an FM radio.
4

The Omnia has a bigger screen, but it is a lower resolution display than the Touch Diamond. However, the Omnia's 5-megapixel camera and expansion slot give it the edge.
