Answer
HTC Touch Diamond:



Apple iPhone Second Gen:





LG Secret:


LG Prada II:




Samsung Instinct:



Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1:


LG Vu:

It measure 108 x 55 x 13 mm, and weighs only 89.5g. The LG Vu features a 3â³ 240Ã300 262k color touchscreen, Quad band and a software QWERTY keyboard.
It has a 2 megapixel camera, 128MB of on board memory, a microSD expansion slot, 3.6Mb HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 1.2 and USB2.0 support.

It will support the AT&T mobile TV network and true touch browsing on the web.

The sleek design on this new LG speaks for itself.

LG U990:

This is LGâs first 3G phone to be released. It has a 5 Megapixel camera, a 3â³ 400Ã240 pixel, 262k-color touchscreen. The camera can record video at 120FPS.
It supports audio / video downloading and streaming, plus video calling. It also sports a full web browser, and multiple formats of audio are supported by the media player on the phone. It also has 170MB of onboard memory, but this can be expanded with swappable microSD cards.

Finally the phone has support for Stereo Bluetooth and USB2.0.

Samsung Anycall Haptic:

The Sensitive user interface (UI) stimulates the sense of sight, hearing and touch. Its like a living thing. The touchscreen volume button has sound and vibration that make it feel like a real button.
The UI is adjustable to your personal taste, allowing you to create your own menu on the desktop with widgets.

It has nice drag-and-drop functionality for ease of use. It also has a 3.2â³ 16:9 display, a full HTML web browser, a 2 Megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.0 stnadard.

Neonode N2:

The Neonode N2 measures 47Ã77Ã14.7 mm, and weighs a very lightweight 70g. Its 2â³ 176Ã220px 65k color touchscreen display features its optical/infrared touchscreen technology called ZForce.
It has a 2 Megapixel camera, internet radio stream capturing software, a gesture-controlled screen.

It also has MiniSD for added storage and an mp3 player. The Neonode N2 ActiveSync is used to synchronize your calendar and address book which probably means that the N2 is going to be Windows based.


HTC Pharos P3470:

The Pharos P3470 is running Windows Mobile on a 200Mhz CPU. It has a 2.8â³ screen, Quad band GPRS (EDGE only), GPS, 256MB ROM, and 128MB of RAM.
The camera on this HTC is 2 Megapixels.

It comes with Bluetooth and a microSD expansion slot. Some things of note: there is no WiFi or 3G surprisingly enough.

No word yet, but hopefully they will reconsider about the lack of WiFi support.

Sony Ericsson G900:

The dimensions of the G900 are 106.0 x 49.0 x 13.0 mm, and it weighs 99g.
It has a 240Ã320 pixel, 262k color TFT touchscreen. It is running on Symbian OS, and has 160MB of memory.

The memory can be expanded through the Memory Stick Micro⢠(M2â¢) expansion slot.

The give you the option of keypad or touchscreen keyboard. It has a 5 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, a full HTML web browser and video streaming capabilities.

Sony Ericsson G700:

The G700 is the little brother of the G900, sporting a smaller 3.2 megapixel camera and lacking WiFi support.
It features a one-touch organizer that can create little âpost-itâ notes that can be handwritten using a stylus and saved to the phone.

It also has cool recognition software that recognizes handwriting and converts it into text automatically.

Not bad if they are calling it the G900âs little brother.


Motorola Rokr E8:

The Motorola Rokr E8 has modeshift technology which transforms the display of the device to only show the controls for either the the music player or the phone.It features 2GB of internal memory (expandable to 4GB), a 2.0 Megapixel camera and a full HTML browser.It measures 115Ã53x10.6mm and weighs 100g. It also has class 2 stereo Bluetooth, USB 2.0 and GPRS.

What is the best cell phone for me on the AT&T network?

Unknown_Us

What are people's experiences? I had a Treo 650 which was OK, but it was bulky, slow on the edge network and there were some little quirks with Palm applications. I now have a Treo 750. It's cool but Windows Mobile is not entirely stable. I have to reboot frequently. The web browser is just OK, not everything works, but enough does to make it workable. It's a lousy phone though. The call quality is adequate, but half the time it doesn't ring or I answer and it just hangs up. Is there anything out there that truly rocks? Don't just say iPhone without any data to back it up. I'm not sure an iPhone would suit my needs.

My needs are:
1) Good phone quality
2) reliable email and web browsing plus some PDA capabilities.
3) the ability to use a blue tooth headset and play music through it.
4) the ability to play mp3s and stream radio
5) Not having to reboot the phone on a regular basis because some features simply stop working.
6) a camera
7) The ability to use the phone as a modem for my laptop.

tell me why i should get the lg dare?

fishes-are

i would like to know why i should buy the lg dare...best, most informative gets 10 points!!

Answer
HAHA i just answered a question about the LG Dare, asking me information, so i hope you dont mind me posting the same Review i gave them, its just a really good review! ENJOY!


Its super long!

"Dare to be different," the saying goes, but the LG Dare is really Verizon Wireless's attempt to fit in, to offer a phone that's more like the AT&T LG Vu and Sprint Samsung Instinct, not to mention Apple's similarly priced iPhone 3G. The truth is, the Dare may not be as glamorous or well-priced as the Instinct, but it has a better browser, a motion sensor and some cool software tricks that make it a fine phone for people who choose to remain in Verizon's walled garden. And it puts Verizon's previous iClone attempts, the LG Voyager and the Samsung Glyde, to lowdown dirty shame.

As I think we've firmly established, we call these iPhone clones because they are made superficially with the look and feel of the iPhone in mind. They are not direct competitors to the iPhone, as they don't run on a smart, open platform like iPhonesâor Blackberry and Windows Mobile phonesâdo. The Dare, like the Instinct, is closed and proprietary, geared to customers who like much of what the carrier has to offer, and would just like a better way to make use of it. And after spending some time with the Dare, I can safely say that, much like the Instinct, it really does let you do that. Easier Access
For starters, Verizon has done away with its dependence on unchangeable, annoyingly deep menus. With the Dare, you can drag any app or function directly to the desktop for one-click access. You can add key people to the Favorites launcher, where you simply drag their face to the phone or message icons to call or launch a new SMS.Even those cryptic notification icons always seen at tops of phones are clickable on the Dare.E-mail and Web
Let me get this off my chest first: The Dare browser is WAY better than the Instinct's, both in rendering speed and page layout. You can navigate Gizmodo with very little trouble, especially if you're going read-only. My only complaint was that there was no way I could find to speed-scroll through so many blog posts without giving my thumb a callous.Verizon's E-mail app is basically the same as it's been for about six or eight months. I do not recommend it for business use, as it's not very full featured, but I was able to get the Dare to notify me whenever any mail from three different accounts came through, and the iPhone-like QWERTY keyboard with pop-up letters really helped when typing. The only trouble I had sending e-mail was due to a funky POP3 account with ambiguous recommended settings. (One negative: You can't edit POP settings once you've configured them, so I had to keep deleting and adding the same account over and over again.)

Premium Unlimited-Use Plans
The good news is, unlimited use of e-mail and web are included in Verizon's new premium price plans, along with unlimited text messaging, unlimited use of basic V Cast clips and ACTUALLY USEFUL stuff like the ESPN MVP sports and WeatherBug web apps. Though it seems at first glance that pricing is a tad higher that Sprint's, the difference is negligible:



$80/month - 450 primetime talk minutes
$100/month - 900 primetime talk minutes
$120/month - 1350 primetime talk minutes
$140/month - Unlimited talk minutes
And yes, there are family premium plans that give you these perks for multiple (compatible) phones. The phone itself is $200 after a mail-in rebate.

Lighter Features
In our introductory walkthrough video, we showed you some awesome traits. After a revisit during our review, here's how those features held up:

⢠Slow-mo video cam - It's a bit grainy, but with decent light, it could make some interesting videos at 120 frames per second. The 3.2 megapixel camera is decent, but nothing to write home about.

⢠Full photo editing - Speaking of camera, the editing feature is not as "full" as we first thought. There's no red-eye reduction or shadow/highlight or color adjustment. Most of the options are actually novelty, and even for being silly they are not very useable.

⢠music player - Good: Plays MP3s and even iTunes Plus DRM-free AACs that you drag to the "My Music" folder of the MicroSD card (up to 8GB); Bad: Still has issues with tags, and appears to count image metadata as additional song files, so browsing by Artist or Album is fine, but browsing "All Songs" is messy. In addition to that the video player reads standard MP4 (but not H.264), and pauses songs when you switch to video playback, only to pick up where it left off once you're done.Hardware
Like the Sprint Instinct, there's a 3.5mm jack for universal headphone fit, but unlike the Instinct, the Dare has a motion sensor inside that tells whether you're holding the phone horizontally or vertically. Videos, photos and the music browser all automatically adjust, as do keyboards and web pages. It's a nice touch, though I'll be honest, you don't really miss it
