need a new phone!

Help! I am trying to figure out what new phone to get. Right now, I am trying to decide between the LG VX8600 and Motorola krzr. I like the size of both of them, but I like the fact that Motorola advertises more minutes and I am not thrilled about the bad reviews of the LG speakerphone.

Any advise would be very welcomed!!!
Thank you

It all depends really on what you are looking for. The krzr is short and fatter, but the 8600 is long and slimmer. The krzr has a longer talk time, but the 8600 has bigger and higher resolution displays both the internal and external. I personally would go with the 8600 just because I believe that no other Motorola has gotten near the quality of the E815 as far as voice and signal go. I have the LG VX-8300 and it get 10x better reception than my Samsung A950 into dead zones. I guess its because of the external antenna. Good Luck with your choice!!!!!

i think you got that backwards, there.

maybe so, but the KRZR still has superb voice quality and reception, especially compared to the 8600. As far as your comparison goes to the 950 samsung, I would stay away from any internal antenna samsung.

what?


I would go with the KRZR. It is a great phone, and people have said that the 8600 is an average phone. Plus, the 8600 is about the size of a RAZR but the KRZR is much narrower.

If you want the KRZR plz wait for the price to go down. I hate seeing people buy the phone a few months after the phone launched and then a month later the price goes down a 100 dollars. It happened to me when I bought the razr when I had cingular.
