you should stay with the 930. First reports of the 8600 are saying good, but not the best. plus the 8600 is ugly as sh!t IMO.

I would ditch the Samsung just because its a samsung and overall not near the quality of LG, unless you actually bought it for the 3+meg cam.

The LG 8600 is an amazing cool looking phone, I think you would be happier with it. peep the picks

Well if we are grouping phones by their manufacturers as a whole now, how do you explain the Samsung A990 vs. the LG TM-510 aka the exploding phone

the 510 vs the 990? Are you nutty? Well in that theory Chevy is better then Ford because the new Corvette Z06 is sooooo much better then the Model T

I personally think that Lgs are the best followed by Samsung then everybody else comes. You just cant compare phones that were produced 5 years apart, you could say that the samsung 310 sucked compared to the lg 8300

kinda off topic, but with the Samsung a610 i think (the camera phone with twisting display) how to you answer the phone with the display facing outwards? if you flip it open, the earpiece would be facing out...

Im not saying that EVERY LG is better then EVERY Samsung, I think that Lg is a hair better then Samsung, but they are both heads and tails above anything else, its like arguing which is better Labrghinni or Ferrari, where as everybody else is a kia or daewoo

I believe its called Lamborghini but i dont blame you its a very hard word to spell 🤣

I donn't think many manufacturers are a "Kia" Moto and Nokia are huge players, as is Sony Ericsson.

Maybe Audiovox is a Kia (My 8910 yesterday started kicking me out of the camera app. i go in says Please Wait... then takes me back to the cam menu. Also i dropped it and all the side keys popped off. 😢

I was referring to the thread, you know that.

If all of your points were true, there would be no need to LOCK handsets. A rented handset could be locked to permit a certain use, like a cable TV box.

A LOCK on a handset deal is like a parental lockout. Allows for the selection of the usage you would like to have according to the rating selected by the carrier.

Why place a LOCK on a deal that is so great to begin with?

Yeah, I was just kidding. I agree, I wish the phones were not locked either.

I would go with the 8600. It will support more things then what the A930 will espcially when you think of all the changes that are happening such as flash and such.

Id say go for the Lg8600. It will be the newest and latest phone.

Personally I think the Sam 930 is a good phone but it does have some cons to it. Including the outside display..there really is none.

Signal wise both would be great. So I would do it by what matters most to you feature wise and the look wise.
