Which Cell Phone: Samsung A930, Razr, LG Chocolate

[dmw16]

Its time for a new phone (contract is up) and I like these 3. I want something cool with bluetooth. Can anyone comment on their real-world experience with these phones?

Never even seen a Samsung A930, maybe it's a US only phone, but try looking for a Sammy D900, those are nice and thin, and sliding phones as well.

RAZR is too old, and Chocolate is too sensitive with the touch buttons.

Yes, don't get RAZR.

 

[ForumMaster]

i'd go with the samy. RAZR is too common and is fugly imo. the LG chocolate is also good.

I had a RAZR with USCellular for about a week. Had no coverage in my town...the cheap phone did. Go figure.

 

[dmw16]

yeah, the razr is at the bottom of the list cuz everyone has one - namely ever 14year old @ the mall.

From the sounds of it you are looking for a cdma phone?

I enjoyed my Razr when i had Verizon.

thne you need a cdma phone. Are you looking for the coolest CHEAPEST phone? Or are you willing to buck up for an unlocked phone? Thats if you can get unlocked cdma phones

Based purely on looks, LG > * IMO

I don't believe any CDMA carrier will allow a phone they don't sell onto their network, epecially verizon.

Is the only reason people dislike the RAZR because of its popularity? What about its merits as a phone (voice quality, battery life, etc.)?

i have verizon that is set. so an "unlocked" phone wont work. Verizon doesnt use sim cards.

I had a RAZR, it was an OKAY phone. The reception was good (I use Cingular), the quality of the camera is not that great and you don't have much memory to store your pictures anyway. In my opinion, the LG Chocolate is way overpriced. I don't know about the Samsung but it looks pretty nice. If you are using Verizon you have to use a CDMA phone? Or you can choose to get a GSM?
I have Sony Ericsson K610i. It has Bluetooth and it just works great!

which is why I love my SE K790 and Cingular.

i moved out of my house last year, but my parents kept me on the family plan and I just pay my share, so Im not gonna change carriers. The Chocolate is $149 w/ 2yr contract...little steep. I'll probably go w/ the Samsung.

Worst reason ever to get/not get a cell phone.

I dont just dislike it cuz others have it. Im just saying, it is neat to have something a little different. It isnt a piece of military equipment or something, people buy them partially as status symbols. So having a cool one is a big part of it.
