stop comparing smartphones/PDAs with regular touch screen phones
I swear ... if I here one more comparison "how does the voyager and dare compare against i770" or "how does the storm compare against the krave" i'm going to kill someone.

I would second this!
People, you have to look at feature sets and compare those to what your daily needs/wants are.
Software makes a phone, not a virtual keyboard.

They ask that question, respond with"What features do you plan on using your phone the most besides making calls."
I also find that most people asking for comparisons like this should really be looking at the LG5400 or the Moto755 instead anyway.
The LG5500 should have a pink version.. guaranteed it would be a best seller. (having only high end phones in that color gets annoying when mommy and daddy are buying for precious and she's 12 and screams if something isn't pink, even if it is just an emergency phone)

some people may truely not understand the differences between a "pda and regular touch screen". if you want to be beneficial to the forums, it would be more polite to respond with reasons why they are different from one another, rather then possibly making someone feel like an idiot because they didnt understand they should have phrased the question another way.
this is the vzw forum. people will ask questions about things that they dont understand. if you are going to go apesh(t because someone doesnt have the knowledge you have, maybe you should rant yourself to death in the shop talk forums.

word. not everyone is techy or works in wireless sales. however, some questions are just stupid
...
It's more beneficial to not waste my time.
Best suggestion ever: research.
Research Phonescoop's site. Do some Googling. Go to Howardforums, Phonearena, etc. It doesn't take long to dig up a good idea what works and what's different.
That's WHY Phonescoop HAS a section on phones. Otherwise, it'd be just wireless news, wouldn't it?

I think the main reason we see so many questions like that is because it takes a secret decoder ring to try and figure out what features/plans/accounts work with what phone.
How any times have you seen two or more people who WORK for Verizon argue over what is available or what works with a specific phone?

Features: most work with any device.
Plans: most work with any device.
Accounts: every working device has one.
There's really not much to it.
Low, medium, and high tiers for features.
One or two phones in the low tier - Coupe, Knack, Sam u340 - no to little features.
Five or so phones in the medium tier - Mot 385, LG 5400, Sam 410 - phones with BT, Get It Now, Mobile Web, but no MP3.
About 75 phones in the high tier - pretty much every other phone.
In the high tier, you have PDA/Smartphones. PDAs are fully-featured, Smartphones are streamlined versions of PDA phones.
Sure, you have a few quirks here and there, but I'd say for the most part that if someone wants "basic" go to low or medium tiers. If someone wants a ...
