Default some phone advice

ok so as of now i have a VZW 6800 and i hate it, it lags like crazy and is a overall downgrade from the previous windows mobile OS. so i think im going to ditch it. im thinking about getting either a sprint instinct or apple iphone 3g.

so a quick break down, the instinct comes with live tv, music downloading, faster net work HTML web browsing, blue tooth, and amazing GPS. (490 minutes and unlimited date 69$)


iphone 3g, slightly slower 3g network, better web browsing, better picture quality, and OS, (no bluetooth, laggy GPS,) what kind of plan would i get that would be similar to what i listed above idk

and whats your .2 about both phones

Instinct is just a touch screen meaning you have to press it, and sometimes multiple times to get a response, unlike the iphone, a multi touch, meaning you dont have to press the screen, and you can slide ur finger across it with response, on the intstinct ud have to press and hold down

Go use both phones, you'll find out that the Instinct is a piece of ____ compared to the iPhone. The Instinct is nothing more than the LG Voyager with a few more features.

The new one uses a new charger or something. From what I understand, they're working on a fix for it.

The new apple iPhone and iTouch devices are compatible with Scion radio equipped with iPod control capability. These devices will function like all previous generation iPods but will not charge. This is due to a design change on Apple’s part that was not communicated to Scion and it’s audio suppliers until after the launch of the latest generation of Scion radios.

Scion currently has no plans of introducing a new cable or adapter that will allow these devices to charge. We recommend contacting Apple directly to inquire if Apple has any intention of offering an adapter cable for this issue.


Also, we have made engineering changes for 10MY Scion Audio. But no "fix" for the current ones.

Will it blend?

Plan would run you about $70 + texting. That's with Unlimited Data and Email.

the thing with getting the iphone is my girlfriend wants one also so we can get a family plan and pay 80 a month each. thats not that bad, if i was paying for the sprint plan by myself it would also be 80. so i might as well get the better phone if i can do the family plan
