Default Samsung Eternity vs. LG Incite vs. LG vu (touchscreen phones)

I'm in need of a new cell phone and I'm leaning towards a touchscreen. I currently have a Samsung Sync, which I really like, other than I damaged the outside screen and for some reason, the camera no longer works.

I've been looking at phones for a while now and decided to hold out for a little while longer since I was told a bunch of new phones were coming out during the holidays.

So...who has one of the phones above? How do you like it? What don't you like about it? These 3 phones are what I'm most interested in. Please give me some feedback on these phones. Thanks!

$200 is not all that bad, but that's with a 2 year contract. HOWEVER, I'm not going to pay the mandatory $30 a month just to have the phone.

it's for unlimited internet....it would be pointless to get the Iphone without it.


all those phones will need a similar package as the iphone to get full use out of it.

The iphone is by far the best phone on the market. Although I haven't had a chance to use the new blackberry. You are going to spend the same amount of money each month for a data plan so don't make that a factor. You can listen to the few that bash the phone or the TONS that love it. There are a few people that have bad experiences with them but they will gladly replace your iphone if there is something wrong with it.

(BTW don't try to sell your old broken phone for the same amount of money that you spent on it new... LMAO....)

The Postman, is that an AT&T phone? I didn't see it on AT&T's website.

SSkillz, that's a Sprint phone. I should have specified, I'm looking for an AT&T phone.

2 SLOW, yes, I'm aware of that, but I have no use for internet on a phone. I've never had internet on my phone since I've owned one, no need for it now.

NiceTry, what new Blackberry are you referring to? AT&T's website shows several of them. Haha, I don't plan on it. I'm not going to throw it away, but I'm not going to sell it either.

GT Griller, why is that?

willyss01, which Blackberry are you referring to? Is it an AT&T phone?

there is no reason to buy any of the above phones unless you use the Internet on it.

htc fuze

only bc I'm 100% anti mac, plus the iphone doesn't intrigue me

and I love windows and how similar it is to the interface compared to the pc version, so nothing hard to learn/adapt to
