Hey everyone.
Having sold phones a little over a year ago, I know whatever I do, I'm getting ripped off. That being said, I've been trying to find a phone for multimedia. Specifically, I want to watch Hulu.com and netflix on my cell phone. I'll also probably load some videos onto my microSD card for giggles (DivX and Xvid, mainly).
At the verizon store, I couldn't get hulu to work since both phones said to enable javascript (which I did), then it would say download and install flash 9 (which I had no idea how to do).
I'm leaning towards the Omnia, since it has a 5 megapixel camera that's gotten mainly positive reviews (though it's still poop compared to all the neat stuff the Japanese market gets), and I don't currently own a digital camera. I've always been into film and photography, so having a phone that can double as a decent point and click would be swell.
I was very disappointed that neither the blackberry storm nor the omnia played hulu videos right off the bat... especially since they are both advertised as being great for streaming videos.
Does anyone know if hulu and/or netflix on a new smart phone is possible? If so, could anyone mention their experiences (quality, ease of getting it set up, etc).
The iphone is appealing, but considering the piss poor reviews by consumer reports and being overpriced because it has a neato UI (And a low res camera) on AT&T, it's hard to go that route.
