To the O.P. - I remember when I went from 8 Track to cassette it was tough because I had so much money tied up in those big tapes. Then along came CD's, and I had a lot of money tied up in cassettes, but there was no looking back, I had to upgrade and each time it was worth it overall. Sure, you paid for apps on the Omnia, I paid for apps on my BB Storm last year too, and I've also purchased a couple of Android applications from the Market, and some day I'll be using a different device with a different O.S., but I won't be making that as the decision maker if I get a different phone. I guess my point is, there are times in life where you'll have to give up monetary investments you have made for something that is going to be better in the long run.
