Phone techys been looking at the Blackberry Torch and the Samsung galaxy s vibrant

Visions has them on this weekend at N/C with a 3 year contract(sasktel) plus a $75.00 gift card, these phones are a big step up for me not sure if i will ever use all the options. Sort of leaning towards the Samsung.
Any thoughts or other options would be great.
Thanks

If you search there is a thread about the Samsung. I use a Fascinate and love it. Not an iPhone or BB fan. Too many things they won't do for me.

I just got the Motorola Atrix 'unlocked' version and I am using it on Rogers network. First Motorola, first Android and it is a pretty smart phone IMHO. Nice upgrade from my last one.

Funny thing I just found out today was I was texting a friend and used a swear word in the text. Damn thing censored me!

Unfrikenbelievable.

It will be your input application (keyboard or voice to text) doing the censoring most likely. There may be a setting for you to turn it off. If not, try another keyboard. I would suggest Swype. I believe it comes with the Atrix (would select it in the system settings), but if not you can download it.

The proprietary Samsung Swipe is second to none. There are downloadable versions of Swipe, but they pale in comparison. I have a client with the new HTC HD that had to download swipe, clunky at best.

I would go with the Samsung or an iPhone. I have a Torch and it's great for email, but under powered and doesn't have nearly anything close to Apple or Androids app support. Plus the camera even at 5 MP is crap, the iPhone has a great camera and HD video.

Thanks for the tip. Much better
