Shopping for a new cell phone....completely lost!!! - vanki - 09-04-2010

Hi everyone!
My trusty phone has decided to die on me and now i am in need of a new one. I have no idea what type is best and after completely confusing myself on review boards i am more confused than ever. I have narrowed it down to four choices: 1) the Samsung a777, 2)LG GU295, 3) LG VU touch and 4) the LG Shine. I don't need anything to fancy because i mainly use it for calling and texting. Does anyone have any advice, recommendations, or warnings against them? Thanks in advance!

I've had the LG Vu for almost two years and I am happy with it. I don't have internet, just texting and calling and it works great for that. It's a good mp3 player too.

Thank you rmroberts! The VU is the one that looks the nicest to me i just wanted to see how it might compare to some others. how does the touch screen hold up? does it respond quickly or do you need to press pretty firmly?

The touch screen works great just like it did two years ago. I do always keep a screen protector on it.

Actually my mom has that. I don't use it so I don't know much about it, but she seems to like it. The only downside I'm aware of is it does not have a micro sd slot. Since my phone is my mp3 player I need my micro sd slot, but if you're not going to store music or anything on there, I don't guess it matters.
