Samsung R225 or Nokia 3390?

[fatbaby]

I can get both for free under a plan, but which one would you get and why?

I have a R225 and it works perfectly. Good reception, strong backlight, decent battery time, quick charging. All things I look for.

Yep, go for it, i have it as well. You could check the reviews at phonescoop.com if you want, they're all for the samsung.

hmm How is roaming costs with the phone or did you pick up a pre pay in holland?

r225 it is!

another question:

I looked all over the site, but can't find out if AIM is free on my cellphone.

I assume it is free because t-mobile is a part of AOL/TW right? It mentions no charge for AOL either. I'm confused.

Also, what are the 3 games on the r225? Snake, asteroids, tetris?

Casino (self-explanatory)
Mole (whack-a-mole with the keypad)
Hexa (tetris like? didn't figure this one out yet)

AIM isn't exactly free. It counts as a ping pong message.

I got the R225 for -$150 after rebate, and while I can't complain about the price, it's kind of spotty performance-wise. The reception disappears indoors, and I get interference sometimes even with full reception. YMMV, I'm not sure if the problem is with the phone or what. The 33xx is a solid series.

It .99 cents/min if i use my vstream card. Vstream unlocked my phone for me, so i got a KPN prepaid card for 7 Euro.

All incoming calls are free, and i call the states for 3.47 cents/min...

Must be the area, cause i havent had less than 5 bars since arriving in holland with it.
