There is really know reason to start a debate thread about which phone is possibly better then another. The reason I say this is rather simple, all people have various opinions and experiences. I understand it can be helpful for some to hear those various opinions, but honestly it's rather pointless. It's better for you to do research and field test the phones for yourself.

P.S
But since you asked:

The LG 8100 looks ugly and has voice and reception issues, and Samsung makes a much better phone period. 😎 😎

gunny you friggin troll. You just made me question the meaning of philosophy, the exchange of subjective information. I was done with philosophy 6 years ago. Thanks.

This nice (although large) phone probably won't have a functioning media player (MP3) either (disabled by Verizon) at least until M.O.D. is available, or you hack it with a Bitpim or similar program.
The 2.0 m.p. camera with an *actual* optical zoom is nice...but at what extra cost? If they keep it within $100 of the 8100 I would probably choose the A970. But then again I probably use the camera in my phone more often than most people.
*Shut off the shutter sound and have fun!*

The a970 is better period. Look at the stats, it pretty beats the LG 8100 in every category, and if it doesn't beat it, it is tied...Samsung makes a better phone and I am excited to see them put a real high end phone for verizon customers (890 was pathetic) I would preorder one of these right now if i could...be patient and wait, you will not regret it!

Do you like the fact that the 970's camera lens is on the side, and you have to turn the phone and swivel the screen to take a picture? How fast can you undo it to answer a call coming in simultaneously?

I think that's a bit much for a cell phone. After all, it's not a camcorder with cellphone features, its a PHONE with camera features!! Here's what I say to the manufacturer... the old KISS method... Keep It Simple Samsung!!! 🤣

If you think that this phone is too much for you then don't buy it. I dont really mind where the camera is located, but the value of having camera and camcorder function is quite valuable to me (I am sales rep and use my phone for pictures of displays all t...
