This is by what should be available in most stores over the next month.
Current handsets only:
LG1200 - Its cheap. Bad track record for LG would make me stray from
this one.
Nokia 3585 / 3585i - battery life could be better, no data, but does
seem to be doing well, not many come back with a defect. Too bad the
faceplates are $20-$30.
Samsung (Samsuck) N400- Eh, buy one get one free, its still a ripoff.
Poor battery life -- if you have a good one, be happy. Luckily, a lot
of the bugs were fixed in previous software updates.
Samsung A460 - inexpensive flip phone. A lot of screen issues. I'm
wondering if Samsung remembers how to make a flip phone like the 8500.
Samsung A500 - get past the bugs from the recent software update - good
phone. Fair battery life.
Samsung A600 - OK - I am fearful of the swivel flip, I think I'll see a
lot coming in with a broken or defective flip, and Samsung will not
cover it under warranty.
Samsung A620 - OK. Fast processor, good inexpensive built-in camera
phone.
Samsung I500 - if this phone stays good, it will be a great handset.
Powerful processor in a small package.
Sanyo 5300 - great phone. Good battery life - may not be as durable as
previous Sanyo models, but still very good.
Sanyo 8100- great phone - good battery life, fast processor for Vision
games (I use Jamdat Bowling as a tester for this). Durable but no flash
or zoom. Voice memo is OK, but rarely used.
AudioVox 9155 (few left floating around - clearance now in xome markets
ar $19.99!) - good phone. Bulky, OK speaker phone, but I don't see many
coming in.
AudioVox / Toshiba 2032 - Expensive. Good screen size.
Handspring Treo - 3 words: Piece of ****. I see so many coming in its
not funny.
Hitachi P300 - good phone, good battery life, good reception. I have
only seen one come in, and it was corroded beyond belief.
Hitachi G1000 - Kickass. If it stays good, Pocket PC, camera,
flash-memory card, great all-round robust phone. $799 (I think)
pricetag is high, but worth it.
Reception - Sanyo, Hitachi, Samsung lead the pack.
Battery life - Sanyo and Hitachi lead. AUdiovox isn't bad either.
Samsung's numbers are a joke.
Durability - Sanyo leads by far. Audiovox is a distant second. Hitachi
is a close third.
Sound quality - All but LG are good.
Track record - Sanyo leads by far. Samsung distant #2 (Hitachi and
Audiovox / Toshiba are too new to Sprint to be judged, but are doing
well). Kyocera and LG are in the pits.
