Which one?

The PEBL

V.S.

The RAZR

Which has more functions, power, and capability? As of now, style doesn't matter to me. We can get to that after I've gotten all the functions down. All I know for sure is that the PEBL has a whole lot more battery life. If it ends up having more functions too, then I'm going with it.

Well i own a RAZR about battery life that thing lasts good and it charges pretty fast althought i love the pebl to cause of its design but the RAZR is so think and has a big screen and lots of functions

The PEBL is cool looking, but I like the RAZR better. I like the new RAZR SLVR. Have you seen it? It's just like the RAZR V3, but instead of a flip phone, it's a candy bar phone. The keypad is just like the RAZR's and it has a whole ton of features too. Last I heard, it's also a Cingular Music Phone too...maybe iTunes?

The RAZR, has horrible receptoin in my experience. And also, the hinge gets really loose.

That would depend on your service, not the phone, correct?

I've heard the Verizon is the best service... is this phone available with Verizon services?

No, just in general, it doesnt get as good as reception as most other phones.

 

[G9]

Alright, this question will determine by decision... the PEBL's Wireless Village IM system includes which Instant Messaging systems?

 

[Half Evil]

Well, probably, AIM, MSN, and YAHOO. Thats what my phone had. Mind you unless you get the right plan, it costs you money.. Per message sent. At least it does on Verizon.
