Touchscreen phone comparison Q3 - U.S. carriers

There’s no denying it, touchscreens are the latest trend in the mobile world and with the iPhone on the forefront of technology and fashion they show no sign of going away anytime soon. The iPhone was not the first phone to feature a touchscreen- they have been around since last century in fact- and it wasn’t even the first fashion phone to ditch the keyboard; that distinction goes to the LG PRADA...

this review is pretty dumb. Nobody should choose what provider they are getting based on the phone. You might regret it in the end. The should have compared networks and services along with them. I bet the ratings would have been a lot closer then.

You are correct that "Nobody should choose what provider they are getting based on the phone" but comparing the carriers ... you must be kidding :)

This site makes no sense at all. I thought I could trust the review on the Dare, but as other people are saying, this comparison trashes it although it got a 9 by itself. It's unacceptable for a website to have such conflicting information. I know that I don't pay to view the articles here, but the operators of the site still profit through consumers because of advertising. This makes the site look really bad especially since the Dare is such a popular item right now, not some obscure, random phone and they can't even get their story straight.

Unless one tries all these phones for months at a time, it's really hard to judge. No phone is perfect, the iPhone has come close.

So...All in all, the Instinct wins out....Ouch...that must really ruin your day. Yeah, you guessed it, I own one (Instinct)...
So, iphone isn't perfect...Man...that's gotta burn. Even with all the minor flaws the Instinct has, just likethe iphone. No comparison.....
Voice anything, Video, T.V. he did forget to mention on our ever flawless keyboard, that you can handwrite the word and it comes up to...Voice guided GPS...and the list will only grow....picture/video share...oh let's not rub it in too much, just celebrate the victory

Until the other touchscreen phones get screens as responsive and sensitive as the iPhone, they will always be crap. iPhone has multi-touch and is very responsive and accurate. NONE of the other touchscreens are as comfortable with drag scrolling. If you have used the iPhone for a while you know what I'm talking about.

I had the Dare for one week, and really liked it ... i used an iPhone. The next day i stood in line and got mine. and haven't been happier. Everyone gets mad at the reviewers for comparing all the iclones, for the people who own an iclone (like I did) you probably disagree with the screen problems in the dare and vu. I watched all these reviews and thought there is no way this screen is really responsive. Its not, use an iPhone before you say that your phone is better. I said mine was better and now I have an iphone and see the glitches they are talking about. Some of the reviewers are apple fanboys, but chances are there is a reason for one, and they have used these phones and chances are you haven't.

I love how pissed off people get on here when someone disagrees with their opinion of a what phone is the best. Everyone complains about phoneareana being bias and then turn around and give their own bias opinions. I thinks thats the pot calling the kettle black and it just makes me laugh. If you are happy with your phone.....great...but why must most people on here insist that everyone should run out and get a certain phone because they like it. Everyone of these phones has it's advantages depending on what you want out of your phone. If you are big on iTunes, want the best mobile browser, and need the ability to sync with Outlook calenders and view email attachments then the iPhone is for you. If pictures and video are what you want then get a Dare. If you want the ability to watch live TV then get a VU. If you want Navigation or you are a big texter (like me) go with the Instinct. I must admit there are quite a few features that the iPhone lacks that the other three have but if you have no need for stereo Bluetooth, MMS, Video, no landscape QWERTY for texting, or PAM then these will not break the deal. The iPhone still has the best touch UI hands down as long as your are not wearing gloves. The one thing I think they should have added to the review is a break down of the plans each phone needs and what those plans include or exclude. I currently have the Instinct and with exception to the garbage web browser I have been very pleased with the phone. The only other phone I would consider using would be the Dare but until VZW allows me to add what I want to my phone that is not an option for me.

Just wait until the htc diamond and htc touch pro hit the shores at Sprint. Then we'll see. Iphone is having to many issues at this point. It sounds like they went the cheap route tosave money and it's showing.The diamond platform from htc will reign supreme.

Why is it that on every site including this one the user ratings have the dare higher than the iphone yet the iphone still kills the dare in this review? On phonescoop the Iphone isnt even a 3 out of 5.

btw, to those that just recently read the review, all the flaming is because the ORIGINAL review scores made the Iphone win. they changed it after the blatant fanboyism was called out.
