Ideally, I wanted to order something online from Phonesource USA (the Samsung SGH-U600/700 *____*~~), but...really, I doubt that's going to happen. So, here are two phones that cost the same from T-Mobile, and I'm having a hard time picking between the two.

The main reason I like the Katalyst better is because of its bigger screen and apparently longer talk and stand-by time (according to the specs the T-Mobile site provides). But I've also read some bad reviews about it, and everybody seems cool with their RIZR Z3s as far as I've seen.

So - what do you guys think? @_@

Samsung Katalyst


OR

Motorola RIZR Z3

Thanks for taking the time out to peep this. ♥

Look wise, I would choose Samsung. Features/applications I would probably choose Samsung as well.. ^^

i prefer samsung over motorola. but i got the z3 last week and i love it to bits. the only thing that is crap is the lagging. but you can get used to that. other than that, i love it.. i love the slide, it's soooo smooth.

z3 shouldn't be lagging =/ my friend had both phone and she prefers the z3 alot better.

[Antz]

^ motorola's usually lag. my friend's one lags and my dad's one does, too. ._.

Rekidai - why does your friend prefer the Z3? Just wondering, ne~ ^^

Thanks for your opinions, yoojeong and Antz.

I have the katalyst but I kind of regret picking it. First off, the bluetooth on this phone sucks. No ... like ... it really SUCKS. For some reason, it won't detect other phones and vice versa. I had this phone for a more than a month and I've been trying to get it to work every single day but it still wouldn't work, so I gave up. Second off, the micro SD slot thingy is BEHIND the battery so every time you want to add a song onto your phone through your SD card, you have to turn off your phone, take out your battery, and then put in the card ... that can get really tedious. Alas, when you receive text messages, it automatically saves onto your SIM card. I prefer saving my text messages on my phone rather than on my SIM card... so every time I receive a text message, I have to move each one from my SIM card to my phone. And no, there isn't a button that says "save text messages to phone" or anything. Overall, in my opinion, I think that the katalyst is a nice phone and it looks better than the motorola, but it can get troublesome from time to time.

i had the same problem ^^
but i went with the rizr and its pretty awesome
and the katalyst doesnt even come with a usb like the rizr (i say go with the rizr)

i had the rizr and i thought it was just okay.
it has a 2 MP camera, but it wasnt up to par to me.

the phone itself is overrall just alright.

im not sure about the katalyst though.
i didnt have one, and i dont know anyone who has one.

i like the slim RIZR Z3 Design
but the applications/system/OS of the Samsung is way way way better then Motorola
Motorola's System is ridiculous
