Well what I think is the 8300 is just like the 8100. I love my 8100 and it works very well. The stero bluetooth on the 8300 is no big deal for me. I also like the A930 its a different looking phone, that does the same thing as LG's I would say its a toss up, I would probably get the cheaper one. You might want to stick with LG maybe all the chargers/batteries are compatible.
On a side note you said your phone got water damaged, I need a replacement screen. let me know if you want to sell it. Thanks

8300, color display outside, feels more solid, better speakers, flash ui. Samsung is a little smaller and feels kinda of cheap. I wsa kinda of excited about the samsung until i playe with one, i am going to pick up the 8300 instead sometime this week

i agree the 930 feels really cheap. I can't really say I like the 8300 either though. can't read text on the outside and no status lights so I can see my phone when I'm driving at night with the radio cranked up!

Ditto... played with an 8300 today and while the quality is similar (i.e., pretty good feel to her), I'd miss some of the features missing, like the status lights as well. Many times I'm in a loud restaurant (and not on vibrate) and a friend sitting next to me says "you've got a call... your phone is flashing" 😲)

Also, the lens looks a little punier on the camera (although that probably doesn't make a huge difference)... and the built in speakers are smaller, which (to me) means crappier sound quality (yes, I actually think the 8100 is pretty amazing sounding for a phone... especially with the 3D Surround EQ on)

Now on the flipside... I want my VZNavigator! That little app is pretty well thought out. Yes, somewhat expensive, but I ...
