Hello Everyone,
I have been looking at new cell phone for a little while and I narrow down to two that I like, LG Xenon & Samsung Impression. I did all the research through AT&T and went on every websites I can think of, to see which one is more suitable for me. I also did go by the store and ask the salesperson every questions I can think of. But so far I am more confused than ever. I like the feature that they both have a full keyboard and big touch screen in the front, but other than that, I don't know much about the phone. I am not very big of emailing, or web searching. But I do need a phone is reliable, since I have a three years old who likes to play with my phone, and easy to operated, according to my husband I really needs it. If anyone who have these two phone, please let me know what do like about the phone and don't like about it. Please help...
I have the impression. I like the bigger buttons. there is one thing I really do not like. It comes w/ a disk, not an instruction book. My husband thinks I am an idiot, but, I want a book. I want to flip to my Q. So, i use probably a smidge of what the phone can do because I don't want to sit at my computer w/ my phone. that is just me....
I have the Xenon. I like it. I've had it for 6 months and it hasn't had a single problem - has withstood a bunch of drops and my 20 month old chucking it a few times. I don't love the touch screen - only b/c with a slip of the finger it falls off track. Also, i don't like "finding a contact". Again, I have to be able to really pay attention and be hands on to pull someone's # up. Certainly no quick grab when you're driving!
(hmmm....so is that a perk or a flaw??LOL)
I have the Samsung Impression and I like it. I have had it for about a month now and it hasnt let me down. I like that it has GPS on the phone and lots of other good perks. The internet is fast and and the touch screen work good as well. The only thing is that its bulky but thats fine with me.
I don't know about the exact models you are asking about, but I will tell you that I have had a Samsung for years without any issues at all. My son had an LG Vu and had lots of problems with it. Of course he is much harder on his phone than I am but I have heard of others having problems with the touchscreen on their LG.
I have the Samsung Flight and I ADORE it! I do lots of surfing on the web and texting. It's perfect for me. I was told that the LG Xenon is not a good phone. The salesperson told me that Samsung has a better reputation with the touchscreen. The best thing it so go into the store and look at the phones. But, no phone is going to sturdy enough to let your children play with. My suggestion would be to give them your old one. :D
