Phone Stolen :( Help between 2 phones
 

Hi Everyone

Monday night my purse was stolen which had my HTC Touch 6900 in it. I am with Bell Canada and they suck because i can either go to a crapy standard phone or upgrad phone and plan cost which i don't want to do. I liked what my HTC had and did for me and so I went to Ebay and found one i can purchase.

My boyfriend and I were in Rogers where his phone is with and i was looking at the LG Xenon and i liked it but of course it was turned off. Futher searching of ebay i have found i can get a new one unlocked for the same price as the HTC was and now i am stuck.

Can anyone help me with how these two compare, if they even do? Also can i even use these unlocked phones on Bell?

Thank you for any help with this.

I'd use the Touch personally because LG Xenon uses a proprietary operating system and the Touch uses Windows Mobile, which you can upgrade to 6.5 and do a bunch of really cool stuff with. The Xenon is very closed, what you see is what you get. I have heard it doesn't have a great radio for recption too.

The Xenon does have a keyobard and slightly higher resolution. They both have 2.8" screens.

If they are "unlocked" then they will work with any GSM carrier.

Yeah getting a propriety OS sucks..it makes it a pain from everything from getting ringtones to etc..at first its ok but turns into a pain...

If your gonna stay on Bell, wait for August 6th and get a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant ;)..it will come to rogers too but in September which is a while away..

As for unlocking devices, if remember correctly Rogers is GSM and Bell is CDMA is it not?

Thank you for the tips. Bell just changed there service and its now GSM and something else as well. I think i will go back to my HTC Touch. I would love to get a HTC Touch Pro 2 but I am not to sure they came out to bell or if i could get an unlocked one to work on bell. My plan isn't a data plan so they want to up my plan to handle the current smartphones. I don't use the internet or data, just text, phone and games lol and now i am so used to what the touch had i can't go back.

Thank you again.
