The LG is the best of all of the choices presented, my brother has it. I have the samsung for verizon which is also a very nice phone.

Ive got the E815 its a really nice phone. I ahve heard good things about the RAZR too. Except it might not have too good of battery life.

I got the Samsung A900 with Sprint for Christmas, but I decided to return it and get a cheaper phone because I wanted the $$$ instead. I have a great phone right now from Sprint that has Bluetooth and stuff. I couldn't be happier with Sprint here in Colorado.

I think the best of those 3 is the LG. I had the LG VX6000 for the last 2 years and it was excellent. Very easy to use and pretty durable. I dropped mine like 50 times and it still works without any problems.

I just upgraded to a Razr, it should be coming in the mail this week.

Yeah, if I were picking from the 3 I'd go with the LG too.

I have the e815 and love it. The camera quality is pretty good, and when hacked, the bluetooth is pretty neat. Plus with e815 you can hack it to have custom skins.

ive heard this phone is pretty good too, and i like the way it looks..

Well, I called Verizon and tried ordering the e815. But the guy said I had to pay a $400 deposit today in addition to the cost of phone and my plan. I declined. So anyways, looks like prepaid is the way I'll have to go. I just ordered a crappy Cingular Go Phone. ( Ohhh well.

That sucks, must be something to do with credit. Do you have anyone that can get it for you? Well i guess its too late now. There was a good deal on Verizon prepaid phones.

I'd get a decent looking phone, with decent reception capability, and does it's job. No need for extra gadgets.

Another question

With my Cingular GoPhone, does that come with a SIM card? And let's say if I don't like the phone I get with it, can I buy another Cingular GSM phone or unlocked GSM phone and put my GoPhone SIM card in there and have it work?

I got the e815 from ordercells4free and love it. The reception is the best of any VZW phone, including the LG VX9800 and the A950

Thats the phone I have. It's awesome. The only thing I don't like is the front flip screen is colored blue when it is opened, I'd rather have like a nice backround on it while I'm talking to someone, not just a blank blue screen.

The thing about the VX9800 is.. you see it and think it's comparable to a sidekick, when in reality, it's not. Verizon doesn't offer unlimited texts, IMs, etc. etc. like T-Mobile does with the Sidekick. The VX9800 is really only good for emails, and texting people who have Verizon.
