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...

they are not saying it is perfect. they said the top phone in each category would be the standard. that means the top phone got 5 by default. it may have barely beat another phone in a category but it still beat it and got the boost to a 5.

i'm not going to get into a fanboy pissing match about the I-phone ruling the world and everything else sucking....

But what i noticed during this review, is when reviewed by itself the Dare was highly reviewed and 95% of the"issues" mentioned in this review were never brought up in the other one

I'm not saying the Dare is the best phone in the universe or that the I-phone sucks, it just seems more than a little biased that the Dare is trashed in this review in order to make the I-phone and even the instinct look like much more superior products

This lowers my opinion of this site's reviews considerably

I dont think u all read the last page of the review. On a average score rate basis, the instict is the best of the four. Dumbasses learn to read before you start making judgements and all the iphone freaks are stoooopid.lol

This review is a wonderful way to market the cruddy INSTINCT. We have the verizon GLYDE by samsung and if that screen is anything like the INSTINCT's then it is indeed no comparison to the lg or iphone touchscreens. This review sucks.

Ok, because VZW has a crappy phone from Samsung, then this review sucks. Makes a lot of sense. How about you at least check the Instinct out before you spout idiotic comments. If you did, you would see there's no comparison between the two.

Actually, the person who wrote this article is an idiot b/c the Dare is the ONLY one of the 4 phones that uses a resistive screen. The iPhone, Instinct, and Vu ALL use capacitive screens. Try using a stylus on any of the phones but a Dare and see if it works.

The Instinct comes with a stylus and it works on it...only the iPhone has a capacitive touchscreen of the four phones.

this review is hilarious. this same site gives the iPhone 3G a rating of 8 and the LG Dare a rating of 9 in their individual phone reviews. Yet, when they compare the two, the Dare scores below a 3 out of 5 in most categories??? That doesn't make any sense.

Why did the iPhone always comes out on top in these sites? It's because all these so called news blogs are AMERICAN websites. They will hype up American junk more than Asian excellence.

These stupid Americans lost out in the auto industry with their sub par build quality so now the only thing they have is the iPhone. Apple is the one American company they think will save them from their reputation of mediocrity. It's so sad really.

The iphone was built in California... but manufactured in "el Asian Excellence of China", where nearly all the cheap crap in America comes from. YAY!!!!

This site is full of Verizon Wireless fanbois' and Verizon Wireless Employees, iPhone Reigns supreme.

So you are saying that Americans are so inept that they can't even make their own junk? They have to use slave labor? Where do you Americans get your money to buy your horrible Iphones, Starbuck's, Big Macs and gas guzzling SUVs? Can't be from selling your houses. Oh that's right, the credit card companies.

you guys are so pathetic. get over yourselves. the first comment is just a moron. You see, if you were SMART, and you did RESEARCH you would see that American cars actually DONT have sub par quality. but no, all you morons go out and buy your priuses....the hidious, expensive, japenese prius. When guess what, the saturn aura hybrid costs $10,000 less and gets same fuel economy. Saying that this review is biased is just crap. I hate the iphone, have posted it many times, but the fact is, its the best touchscreen phone on the market! Hey man, which would you have picked to win the comparison. Jeez, get real. I hate apple, and the phone is way overhyped, but is still good. Of course, you throw in a touch diamond and Xperia X1...hehe, forget it. What are you anyway, french?

Hey #14 you need to do some research on cars. The prius base price is 3000 less than the aura hybrid, and the prius can get nearly 50mpg in the city, the aura will be lucky if it can get over 30 on the highway. lol always good to have your facts straight before you make a big post like that. Oh and btw im american and i have a japanese car so i must be a moron.

Anyway, ill agree that the iphone is prolly still the best touchscreen phone, but that doesnt mean i like it :D

#14 - about the cars ... american cars are way too huge on fuel consumption

big cars, big engines, big fuel consumption, low performance
i hate american cars...

Ummm, #1, actually look at the overall charge, Instinct gets more 5s than iPhone 3G did... I have an iPhone 3g and an Instinct and both does really well. iPhone is definetely the best ATT phone right now (comparing all the touch screen ones), and iPhone is definetely the best multimedia phone in the market right now (compared to all phones from all networks that does video/music), that's a no question about it. If you have still contract with Sprint, Instinct would be the best phone for the network. Dare is probably the best for Verizon but it really falls short even comparing it to Instinct (I had the chance to play with it for more than 5 hours). Before you put down a phone and it's feature, go and really play with it with unbias mentality. I'm no Apple fan but I think iPhone does what it promises to do (even my battery, 3g works better than my Tilt, Blackjack, Razr phones)

The Instinct won this review. It had the best average score of the four.

Product quality varies between items and companies not countries. I love my Saturn. I'm not prejudice against foreign cars. Why does poor fuel economy matter so much in the over all quality of the car. American automobile companies choose to make cars with less fuel economy. I'm sure the business have good reasons. Just be patient with them. Fuel economy only becomes an issue when oil prices are high. The thing that does matter between cars would be the reliability, and in my studies they aren't very far apart, Tho foreign cars with the exception of a few companies and some american companies are excellent in reliability. But don't go insulting them. If you have ever taken a business class you should understand to be patient with business.

"america is the most poluting country in the world"

Wow. You're dumb. America has the highest standards in the world for pollution and safety, hence the reason why we don't get a lot of the fancy european and asian cars. They other countries get better feul economy because the cars don't have to carry around so much more weight from safety and emmissions equipment.

Why don't you check out the pollution from China or India sometime and then say that America's is still the worst.

I know!!! When is the last time America came up with ANYTHING?? All america has ever brought to the world is airplanes. Autos. Fiat currency. The stock market. Computers. The internet. Rock, jazz and hip hop. Gee...it actually seems like maybe America is actually innovative. So go ahead and continue to bash America with your thinly veiled jealousy. The funny thing is, we buy imports because we can appreciate quality wherever it is from. Pity you can't do the same.

And for the record you can bash SUVs Big Macs and Starbucks all you want. They're waning in popularity here and growing everywhere else...wonder what that means??? Perhaps you should let go of your dichotomous thinking and realize that people are the same everywhere. America is a giant social experiment and almost everyone was invited. To hate a people for what leaders do is ignorant and shortsighted...and is this phone forum???

That being said: iPhone is great! Apple is an innovative and great company. The Instinct is a great phone too. I personally like Sprint because the fundamentals of the company are digital consistency. It's built on a strong network. It's just too bad that 1 man took the helm and crashed the plane into the mountain. And got several million dollars doing so. Gary Foresee practically ruined a great company with his megalomaniac ineptitude. Perhaps Dan Hesse will be able to restore the company to its former strength. The Instinct is a step in the right direction. And if anyone on this page knows how to read the Instinct rated highest. And also, condemning Americans for liking our 2 top choices for phones is ridiculous. Try building a network like Japan has on the footprint of America. The telecom industry has done very well considering all of the conditions placed upon them such as 911. Not 9/11, 911.

Its because we like personal space. It's really that simple. If ANY country came out with a car that looked sexy, had power, lots of room, and had good gas mileage we would buy them by the millions.

Oh my God!
Is this a phone head to head comparison?
Why there was not a comparison category for sound quality?, signal reception?, Network? battery?
Isnt those things the most important thing of a phone?

Let me guess, the iphone is the worst of all those categorys so thats why it wasnt put.

This comparison is like reviewing mp3 players only in categorys like, UI, internet browsing and video features.
