Samsung Omnia W is slightly better choice because it has a Front Facing Camera which could be useful incase you are interested in Video chat. Also, Omnia W has Super Amoled screen as opposed to Clear Black LCD screen on Lumia 710...

Also, Omnia W is made of Aluminium, as opposed to plastic on the Lumia 710...

it doesnt exactly say what gyroscope does, and what happens if we dont have it. It just says, gyroscope helps in determining 6 plane motion. Whats a 6 plane motion.

By the way, can we download files in wp7, like zip files which contain mp3 and videos and extract and play?

used for motion based games.

gyroscope and accelerometer have similar functions..
for sensing screen orientation/ motion based gaming etc..

but gyroscope functions slightly better. Lumia has accelerometer.. it will also work, but omnia w has gyroscope and accelerometer, if i'm not mistaken.

having been using that phone (Lumia 710) for more than a month...really loving it...its a great phone, even better after the price cuts..you can get it for Rs14,600 now..

anyways, i have posted the review here :Nokia Lumia 710 review

rajan, i'll suggest posting your review of Lumia 710 here also
