Moto v265 vs Samsung A670

Any advice. I have a Mota 720 and am about to get a new phone.

Ordinarily would go Moto, but don't like the small screen. Noticed the cute little Samsung with nice big numbers. I would prefer a speaker phone but can live wo.

I care about battery life, audio quality, external display, size (small is better), vibrate, ease of use. I want a phone. I don't care about the camera or data connections.

I also care about analogue (but I know I will sacrifice this on the Samsung).

I had a friend who not long ago punted ATTW for Verizon, and was A-B comparing these two very phones in store by calling me with them.

Have to say that audio-quality wise, the 670 was quite a bit better. Its also a smaller phone, and has a MUCH better screen. Yes, you are losing trimode and speakerphone with the 670, but if you can handle that, its just a flat out better phone than the V265. My friend went with the V265 because it was cheap, now kinda regrets the decision.

If my workplace allowed cameraphones, I'd probably have a 670 myself.

I had the V265 the phone sucks. The camera shouldnt is horrible. The screen is so small. I currently have an A670. Go with the Samsung you'll be happy. If you have anymore questions on any of those phones just ask cause i used both of them. Hopes this helps.

Thanks for advice. I went to buy the A670 and ended up also looking at the LG VxX4500. A bit bigger and less cute, but it has a speaker phone (seems a nice idea, tho I don't have one now). Any thoughts on the 4500 vs the Sam A670?

I also previous had the 4500 if you want speaker got with the 4500. If you want to take picture videos and a better color display go with the a670. And don't even bother with the V265 when I got it it stoped working withen 3 days I had to exchange it then my exchanged stop working thats when I got the 4500 but then decided I wanted a camera phone and bought the A670.

Stick with the 670. The 4500 has lots of software and hardware problems, just like the Mot 265.

to be quite honest it depends on where you live. Obviously the SAM670 is a nicer phone in terms of look, screen and features, but if you live in a analog are, SOL buddy you have to have a 265. The 365 is definitely not my first choice, but i'll get whatever gets me reception so i can talk on my phone. But right now with the prices of phones, buy a 710 and call it a day.

I would stay away from the moto, Almost everyone I have sold has come back with a bad microphone or the screen has gone black? We actually sent all of ours back and are no longer carrying it. I would definately go for the samsung. If you want the trimode and speaker phone check out the lg6100. That is a really nice phone, but not much to look at.
