I am planning sign up for PagePlus and want a CDMA WM smartphone, so that I have access to data without hacking my cellphone. I am trying to choose between the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Ozone.

1) Samsung Omnia has longer battery life.

2) HTC Ozone supports GSM as well as CDMA.

Can the HTC Ozone run as a GSM handset? Can I use the HTC Ozone with USA T-Mobile or AT&T?
 
I think this video will answer your questions about the Ozone on gsm.

Omnia also has a better camera with flash. Also has 8/16gb of onboard memory, has one heck of a kickass speaker for music/speakerphone, and a larger, better screen for reading texts/emails. but no hardware keyboard. If you dont' mind going touchscreen only, then it's a really nice phone to have.
My suggestion is go down to a store that has working models of both and play around with them.
A lot of people don't like the stock keyboard on the Omnia, myself included. Just keep in mind that you can change that out with a 3rd party keyboard. THe one from SPB is very popular. And it's not AS bad, once you properly configure the touchscreen.

I can't speak for the Ozone, but if you're in an area with spotty signals, the omnia will drain the battery FAST. I go to tech school for 5 hours a day, and the training room is on the bottom floor of a 3 story mall. Reception is BAD, especially with all the electrical interference from all the computers, cables, and servers. So it's trying to locate a signal about 45% of the time I'm in class, and can suck my battery down anywhere from 30-60%.
