Oh back on track, I get ...

From my *personal* experience.... the 8100 is SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER than the Samsung 950. 😉

I had researched the 950 so much and when my "New Every 2" was up, the 950 is what I had my heart set on. But, there were just little things (maybe they only bothered me) that made me not like it... and made me wonder if I could live with this phone for another 2 years. After about 1 week, I exchanged the 950 for the 8100... and I am soooo pleased with my decision!!! 😁

The 8100 is a lot more customizable than the 950. The front display screen, for instance: on the 950, there is NO WAY to change the length of time the front screen stays lit. It stays lit for 5 seconds, and then goes BLACK. That's fine and all but... unless you have t...
