----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:26 am Phone choice ----------------------------------- I am currently in the position to get a Samsung instinct for $39.95, or an HTC touch for free all while keeping my current amazing rate plan. I am having a huge problem deciding which phone I should get because a) I love Samsung products but i have to pay 40 bucks and b) HTC touch is a nice phone, and its free, but i've wanted an instinct for a while. So, i trust y'all and would like just a few suggestions. if anyone has used either of these phones, i'd like to know. Thank you in advance for your input. ----------------------------------- Analysis Mode Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:05 pm Re: Phone choice ----------------------------------- I'm assuming you don't like the iPhone? ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:06 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- Oh sorry, i didnt mention, im with Bell ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:14 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- Samsungs drivers have a history of being poor. I would go with the HTC IMHO. ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:24 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- Drivers? this is a PHONE what the hell are you talking about? ----------------------------------- Analysis Mode Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:34 pm Re: Phone choice ----------------------------------- I would suggest you look more carefully into the issue. Drivers are used by phones to facilitate a whole lot of things. ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 2:56 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- you probably mean firmware. I've never had a problem with samsung anything. I'm going against the three votes -Samsung Instinct is on its way to me. ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:05 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- [url=http://www.nodevice.com/help/5/Phone_drivers.html]Cheers ----------------------------------- endless Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:50 pm Re: RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- I'm going against the three votes -Samsung Instinct is on its way to me. so much for trusting us :( haha just kidding, to be fair i chose the HTC because i think it's under-rated. ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:54 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- haha yeah, i THOUGHT i could trust you :P i chose the instinct because i truly love Samsung products. Thanks for the input anyway guys. ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:55 pm Re: RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- those are drivers you install on your computer cheers. ----------------------------------- endless Thu Jul 30, 2009 4:00 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- i have a Samsung phone from about 2.5 years ago and it's still fine, battery is great. thinking about it now, i probably should have chosen the Samsung. hope it works out for you. ----------------------------------- gianni Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:08 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- As long as you avoid Motorola you should be safe. ----------------------------------- andrew.

It's smoother and faster too. ----------------------------------- rdrake Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:26 pm Re: RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- It's no iPhone (ha not even close)You say that like it's a bad thing. ----------------------------------- andrew.

When I said that, I meant in the sense of general smoothness. The Instinct seemed to struggle a lot more and lag a lot more when doing things like playing a video or even loading webpages whereas the iPhone does this in a smooth fashion with barely any slowdown. ----------------------------------- apomb Tue Aug 04, 2009 5:23 pm RE:Phone choice ----------------------------------- Well, i dont have the option (or the funds) to get an iPhone. so ill "settle" for the instinct. ha
