    Lightbulb Stuck with T-Mobile: Smartphone I should get?

    Unfortunately I am stuck with T Mobile and have to stick with one of their smartphones for daily use. I cannot use a jail broken iPhone because I need the UMA service and for work purposes. Which would be the best recommended in their line up at this current time?

    MyTouch 4G ($199), Motorola Defy ($99), Samsung Vibrant ($99)

    In that order.

    If you need the phone right now, go ahead. But if you can wait a month or two the new crop of phones is coming.

    I picked up a Samsung Vibrant yesterday from a guy that had paid 500 for it out of contract. He "tried" to use it or get used to it and after a week he gave up. I got him down to 280 and bought it. First impressions: confusing, battery life is horrid....

    I have been using blackberrys for a number of years and iTouchs and iPads. This phone does have a beautiful display and kick ass graphics but the battery life is so bad that it is dead in about maybe 3 hours if you are not just using it as a phone. I have all of the battery saving tips on and it's still bad. I am going to try to get through the weekend with it and then see what happens. Maybe selling it on Monday. I'd rather have an unlocked iPhone 3Gs for a few dollars more than this so far.

    Sounds a bit strange. I used my Galaxy S for about 6 hours of web surfing, watching YouTube, and playing games and it still had about 15% left.

    vibrant sucks. Mytouch 4G is better
    Life begins, and spirits rise,
    and they become memories that vaporize,
    and the vapor becomes the dreams we devise,
    and while we are dreaming...
    Time flies...

    The Nexus S is an awesome little phone. I have the Galaxy S which is pretty much the same phone but with an unneeded keyboard. I would swap for the Nexus S in heartbeat if I had the chance but work pays for the phone and it's on Sprint.
