Samsung A930
I'm looking for a music phone. I'm looking at the Samsung a930, Nokia 6315i, and LG 8300. What is the retail price of the a930? Also, how is the music features and reception? I'd prefer the 6315i or 930 because they are more attractive than the 8300. Thanks!

So... you're basing your purchase on aesthetics. Wow, you haven't been on Phonescoop long, have you. Especially if you're considering a the 930 or any NokiTech/PanKia phone. Music features are the same on all the phones, it's part of the UI. As far as reception and reliability, of those three, the 8300 smokes them.
In answer to your question: The straight retail of the 930 is $219.99.

I've been on PS since June and been a phone fan forever.

The 6315i is NOT a bad phone and Pantech is a good company. Theyre not UTstarcom. The 930 got a high overall user rating in the User Review section. And the 8300 looks like sh*t. I dont base my purchases on looks only, but I don't want a butt ugly phone like the 8300.
...
Sorry Boss, the Nokia is a Pantech/UTstarcom, the 8300 is a superior phone to both those you mentioned

Pantech and UTStarcom are not the same company. UTstarcom makes junk and Pantech is a good company, most known in Asia. đ

No, no, no, UTStarcom and Pantech and not the same company, you are correct, but UTStarcom makes phones that are labeled "Pantech" And all current UTstarcom phones are garbage, you cant honestly tell me that the pn-210 and 215 are good phones. Audiovox, Kyocera, UStarcom, Pantech and unfortunatly now, Nokia phones are junk, I LOVE nokia phones, bthink they are some of the best, but right now, they suck, becasue they are not really Nokia made phones.
...
Yes, I have an Audiovox 8910. Hate it. Its junk. That's why I want the 930. But people are saying this new Nokia 6315i is a good phone for reception. Just read the reviews
...
I think you are making a mistake overlooking the LG Vx8300 it is the best clamshell phone Verizon sells for reception, durabilty, and overall features.
The 930 is OK but it has an internal Antenna which suffers slight reception hits over a stub. the VX8300 will get atleast one bar more signal then the 930 in almost all areas. and for areas where signal is not as strong that one bar can make a huge differnce.
the 8300 also has better speaker for music, its more durable.
with all that said however if you want a phone thats great for music and looks good also wait a month or so for the Chocolate Flip (LG VX8600). it looks sweet.

I hate to beanal, but it's not going to be called "Chocolate flip" and it irritates me that people call it that. No one calls the SLVR the STR8 RAZR (though now that I think about it, it does sound cool)
...
I'm not saying Phone Scoop decides everything, but if I remember correctly, the 930 got a higher average rating than the 8300.
...
You might really like the phone, to me it just feels cheap compared to the 8300, but thats just my opinion. Good luck either way. đ
...
Yeah, I've heard the 930 feels cheap, but it can't feel any cheaper than my 8910 with its squeaky/creaky/loose flip and things falling off of it. đ¤Ŗ
...
but im getting this new phone as a Christmas present to myself. It's a shame since my contract is up in early May, but I can't wait that long so I'll have to pay retail âšī¸
...
Just play with them both before you decide, but your right the 8910 is junk đ¤Ŗ

Ive had both the a930 and LG 8300
I did a review on the a930 but I ended up trading it for the LG 8300 before the 14 days... The a930 does not support mp3 playback without some minor "hacking"....I can teach u how if you'd like...
The LG VX8300 has STEREO BLUETOOTH for wireless streaming of MUSIC with bluetooth headphones while the a930 DOES NOT...Also, the LG 8300 does not require hacking to support mp3 playback.. just a one time settings change to enable mp3s...
The main thing I didnt like about the a930 is that it looks and feels cheap... the 8300 may not be as attractive IMO but has a better build and is better quality... also, it has a customizable flash interface... đ
I think most ppl will agree that the LG 8300 i...

tHE NOKIA/PATECH/UTSTARCOMM...Whatever you want to call it is actually a good phone. The 8300 is the best by far, The samsung is way down at the bottom, build quality is poor but my major complaint is samsung's intenna, their new antenna design on the 930 and some other models just sux! The walmart next to me sold a ton of samsung 930's and I get at leaste one customer a week in here complaining about dropped calls and poor signal. I have held one in our store and it would only show me one bar compared to 2-3 on other manufacturer models( I am not saying it will not work well in your area) We stopped selling all samsung's with internal antennas where I am at because of to many complaints. My best suggestion is to save a little more and get a...
