Phones and carriers

[Tiger Bass 5,000+ posts]

the Vu and dare are practically the same thing, the Dare is a bit newer, better GUI, better camera.
It's basically the poor man's iphone. Music is ok, need an adapter use headphones. Doesn't play videos very well (like movies or tv shows). Camera is pretty good.

Texting is sub-standard, if your used to a good keyboard you will need to slow down...doesn't pick up correctly most of the time. No touchscreen keyboard is as good as a real one.

It's ok. I'd go for one with a real keyboard though...maybe wait awhile, the HTC Diamond Pro looks good, as does the new LG Prada (Vu in Europe) 2.

oh and btw, the Vu scratches very easily. Not the screen, but the back looks like shit after a few weeks. Just having it in your pocket scratches the shit out of it, so i'd assume even a case would put micro-scratches in it too.

The TV is eh. Channels blow. Don't show syndicated shows either. Commercials are lame as hell.

Does look sweet though. Stylish phone.

I looked at the iPhone, and I just couldn't work the texting on it as well as I could on the other two. That was the biggest deciding factor for me.

I really like the LG Vu with AT&T and the LG Dare with Verizon. No personal experience with either one, but I'm looking at upgrading really soon and these are the ones I'm eyeing.

ha, actually was checking both of those out today. yeah they look pretty nice, but personally im still a little unsure if those touchscreens are very reliable...call me paranoid, or old fashioned? I dont know, I just feel like small problems with that phone could cost big $$ repair...then again, i have nothing to base this on, and its just an opinion that...well i dont really know where it came from or why...

feel free to try and change my opinion...(it would make picking out a new phone much easier anyways)

but yeah, check out the ericsson i was talking about...so far im really liking the looks of it...i just dont know how good it is

also been lookin at the pantech duo and blackjack II...

and i saw one with like a 3 or 4 mpx camera which sounds pretty sweet to me, but i cant remember what carrier or the name of it

to me the are about the same. Texting is OK, but you can't go nearly as fast as a real keyboard.

You sure about that? When I went to try and get one, they were on back order across the whole south eastern part of the United States. Might be such for other parts too.

verizon has the best network in my opinion, nextel(sprint0 blows and always will, if i didnt use it for work i wouldnt have it. Its a shame sprint has such crappy service because the unlimited everything for 99.99 is an awesome deal.

verizon is shit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I have a motorola thing. It's round, red, and has a rubberized surface. It's about half as fancy as my last three 3 lg phones, but gets EXCELLENT reception. I'll never buy another LG product.

 

[fwb_1234 10+ year member]

Well, LG cellphone. I'll take a TV.

i get a descent discount because I buy through quixstar //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

its like 20% off the phone, and a percentage off of the bill a month, its probably not as good as your discount, but shyt its better than none
