Hmmm dont go by on-paper battery ratings.
Check out gsmarena comparision of these two devices : Omnia W vs Lumia 710

Omnia has a 2 and half hour lead in talk time over lumia. It also provides more music and video playback hours.
Lumia has better video recording quality, but other than that, in still imaging, audio output quality, loudspeaker performance, browser benchmarks, Omnia wins over Lumia.
Also, Metro UI looks simply amazing on a Super Amoled Display.
Omnia also has Gorilla glass protection and a brushed aluminium back plate to boost its look and feel.
Unless u want voice guided navigation for free, and exchangeable back covers of different colors, stick to Omnia.

Personally, I would rather get the Lumia 710 as there are so many colors to choose from, and you can change it whenever you want.:p But if you want to go for a classic black, Omnia W would be the one. It's really depends on what you are looking for on a mobile phone.
