Okay, so I have decided to get a smart phone, and my phone company is offering me these 3 for very good prices:
The iPhone 4 - which I don't really want, because it has no warranty and I don't like that you have to pay for all the apps (from what I understand)
The Blackberry Curve (I think the number is 9300, but not completely sure)
and the Samsung Galaxy S.
For now, I am kind of thinking I will get the Samsung Galaxy S, but I still haven't completely decided, so does anyone have some good advice to give regarding this?

I think if i was going to pick a smartphone, it would probably be either a blackberry as i dont like touch screen mobiles, or it would be this playstation phone that is coming out soon, as it looks really interesting, and i would love to see what it is like to have a mobile with a games console on it, i think it would be great, so long as the games do not cost too much. That, or its a phone called the Pysic or something, only available in america at the moment

I think I have to agree with you. The phone looks so interesting because of it being a game console in one. And the coming of playstation phone would definitely bring a significant impact in today's mobile phone market reaching it in a different level.

Hi, Pix_tirx. Hopefully, you've picked out your favorite phone by now. I'm an Android girl. I like some Apple products but not as much as I like Android products. I currently own Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I love it. I prefer all Samsung smart phones.

well i d start by saying that there are only two kinds of people on this planet.. ones who love apple.. ones who dont!! :P
apple do not make the best products but they convince you that their products are the best for you.. so you either hate them for trying to fool you.. or love them coz they convinced you :P
once you ve made this choice.. then look at the other phones. blackberry curve isnt a great phone, and comparing it with the Galaxy S is like comparing an apple to a..uumm... rotten apple :P (galaxy S is the apple) and no pun intended!!
So to sum it up.. if you have to choose between these three and you want value for money without spending unreasonably.. go for the Galaxy S

I think you have to decide on the model that best suits your needs. And most especially those that will not give you pain in your pockets. I think iPhone is not for the budget conscious consumers because of letting its users pay for the apps that you want...but well if you can afford why not.

Hi there,
You chose that phone which supports all files to open such as adobe, ms office, And internet explorer application is present in. I think is the most useful phone which will always be important to you if you go anywhere out also its requirement will be there too and always be! So take your step forward and pick the real lifetime gift now !!!!

LOL--I have a very simple Trac Phone bare-bones cam phone. You can keep all the "latest technology"...I'm technically challenged and to me, those smart phones are kryptonite. With my luck, one of those Samsung Galaxy S would get me into trouble...I'd be dialing for take out pizza and probably end up on some planet in a faraway galaxy.

I think I'd go for the iPhone, but that's mostly because I've never owned anything from Apple yet, and I want to try it. But unfortunately it's way out of my price range. I have onwed a Samsung cellphone before and it was a rather good one. I think Samsung always provides good quality, so perhaps you should get the Samsung Galaxy S?
I don't know all that much about these phones though, and I've never tried any of them so perhaps you shouldn't pay all that much attention to my response and take the advice of people who know what they are talking about. :P

Hi puccagirl,
how are you? Phone is getting smarter to smarter day by day. After the new one if you get offer of more smart phone what will you do? Again will you change your phone?
Now everything is running faster to faster. We are also running after them. Enjoy yourself.

If you like using messenger on your smartphone I would suggest you get an iphone4 even if there is no warranty. I have a blackberry curve which is great and I won't exchange it for samsung galaxy s. Samsung claims their galaxy s is much better than iPhone 4 but I doubt it. To enjoy samsung galaxy s make sure that you have android 2.2 froyo instead of 2.1 eclir.
Now here's the big difference among the three great phones. To enjoy blackberry you need to activate it and it is a bit costly to pay fir the blackberry service, but believe me it is all worth it. iPhone 4 also needs an added service for a fee and most of the applications need to be bought. Samsung galaxy s applications are all free and you don't have to buy anything at all.
Now that I have given you an idea, you decide which among the three smart phones are worth getting. I would definitely chose blackberry torch if it's included in the choices, but since it's not then, it's up to you to decide.

When it comes to buying a smart phone I will consider these things.
Design_ I will go for the lightest one. Most of the smart phones are heavier and will look for an eye catching design.
Memory_ I will go for something which have great internal memory. around 8GB is good. More the memory I choose that one.
Features_ I want both touch and QWERTY. Even if touch got complaint we could carry it with us. And the last thing I look is price.
I have found a great phone with all these features and it is NOKIA N900. I am going to buy that sooner. Costs around $600.
Of all the three you specified I will go for Samsung GALAXY. I dont like Black berry as they suffer great technical difficulties.

It is hard to say what would be best for you, but I, myself like Android phones. I have the Mytouch 4G from T-Mobile and it is a great phone. It has video chat on it, which is great as I can see my daughter on the phone, since she lives in another state, far away from me. It has everything on it that I use or want, and all in all it is a great smarphone. The battery life is a lot to be desired, but other than that, I love the phone. Take care, and have a very good day.
