    I have reviewed all the phones Bell Mobility has to offer. My question is if anyone has any of the following phones, please put your input towards them, so it will help me make a final decision (Even if your model is not a Bell Mobility one).

    Phones :

    LG 325
    Samsung A680
    Samsung A740
    Motorola RAZR V3


    Thank You in advance for all your help / input!

    Hmm, didn't you already sort of ask the same question in another thread, about comparing the a740 to the Razr and someone told you the a740 was a piece of crap? Also, I think I linked you to phonescoop.com and told you about their great comparison tool. I tried out the LG 325 at the Sprint Store and I liked it okay, but if Sprint had a Razr I'd pick it over the 325. As far as the other one, I think if you would just go to www.phonescoop.com and compare all 4 of these side-by-side the features themselves would help you answer your own question. Good luck.

    Sorry about the inconvenience but I was trying to get answers from people who have owned them, rather than statistics, so I need personal opinions. I have checked phonescoop and read reviews as well, but they have far too large of a range of reviews, such as one person suggests it's great where as one suggests it sucks. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

    No, I apologize to you, I should pay more attention next time instead of just assuming you posted the same question twice so you need not apologize to silly ol' me...

    The Samsung A680 is nearing EOL (End of Life), and won't be carried anymore. Not that it's an "out-dated" phone, but it has been around for quite a while. I've used one for a bit, our manager here at our store has one and has been using it for about 6+ months now, and she is very happy with it. Those people that have purchased the A680 also seem happy with it.

    The A740 is a pretty new phone, so we don't know too much about it yet. We've sold tons of them, and everyone seems happy with them. I've used one for a few days, seems like a pretty good phone (nothing "wow"-ing though).

    The LG 325 is an awesome phone. I like the slider phone concept, and I like the internal antenna. I used one for about 4 months and it worked great for me. That said, we got a bad batch of them here at the store and we've been having issues with LG with replacing them, so we choose to no longer carry it. However, from my own personal experience with a working one, it's a good phone.

    The Motorola V3C (or "Razr" if you want to use the nickname) is so new that I can't say anything about it. In fact, here at our store we're waiting for our first batch to come in, they're in shipping right now. We do have a "demo" model though, and it seems pretty nice, lol. Anyways, I will be fully testing this V3C when it comes in, as there is quite the waiting list for them and I want to make sure it's a good performing phone.

    forget all those phones. gee has the right idea. the a920 is definitly the way to go right now with Bell. And for the same price as the RAZR...You'd be a fool not to get it...Bonus is, it comes with your trans-flash, headphones, data cable and software for your computer (unlike every other Bell phone on the market).
    Thank you very much sir....As my thanks...A Twoonie...

    Maybe I will look into that phone as well due to the face that you both seem to think it is a very good phone! Thank You

    The only problem is the A920 is about $50 more than the RAZR, and I think the RAZR is rediculously overpriced. (My contract still lasts for 2 years, so I have to pay full price for a new phone.) But still I will consider it.

    There is an error (2) in your post. The RAZR is not that over-priced compared to all the other service providers, though you are just paying for the look of the phone and not the features. There isn't enough good stuff in that phone for the price....

    Also, the A920 is NOT more than the RAZR...At least not in my store...They are both 99.00 (on a three year term). The 50 dollar price difference in the retail cost (in my opinion) is still not enough of a difference.

    for 50.00, you are getting MP3 capability, a trans-flash memory card, stereo headphones, a data cable, and your software.

    For the data cable and software alone, it's about 80 buckeroos.
    Thank you very much sir....As my thanks...A Twoonie...

    The a920 is definately DEFINATELY the way to go...absalutely! I was 2 minutes away from getting one but the phone i orginally wanted ( the sanyo 9000) had been specially ordered for me through another store, thank god i had asked to see my old 8300 back to check my voicemail or else i would of missed out on my 9000!

    Go with the A920 if possible... you WONT regret it! There is so much to do on that phone AND its FULLY customizable..

    Woah woah woah, the A920 is certainly not fully customizable. Don't be misleading this poor lad. There ARE many things that are customizable, but there are also quite a few things that bell has locked.

    How did you like that 8300, the only high-end 10-4 phone.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, I don't think I explained clearly what I meant by the price difference.

    I signed up for a 3 year term, only 1 year has passed, but I wish to purchase a new phone due to my phone has had so many problems. I was told I must pay full price for the phone.The Motorola RAZR costs $344, where as the Samsung a920 costs $399. That is where I got my price difference, and why I proclaim I believe the RAZR is very overpriced.
