So if you don't get enough answers in this thread look a bit deeper using the search button and you'll find tons of comparisons. That being said, I've had both and I prefer the 8100. It's really all about personal preference though. You do sacracfice a few things with the 8100. No flash, less resolution with the camera. But you gain smaller size, colors to choose from, much lower price, etc. The determining factor for me is the size. I much prefer the smaller scale of the 8100. I suggest you go to somewhere that has them both in stock so you can look at them side by side and see which one YOU prefer. FYI, the speaker volume on the 8100 is WAY loud. Sometimes when I'm in a quiet area I find that I actually have to hold the phone away from my ear because it's so loud. Never, ever, had to do that with any cell phone before. |

Originally posted by ewod I see that you're jewish...I'm jewish as well, but back to what you said...I'm most likely gonna get the sanyo 8100 because it's cheap and it's one hell of a phone from the reviews that I read about it...do you consider the earpiece loudness a pro or a con? |

Originally posted by lgreenberg I definetly consider the earpiece volume a major plus. I really can't stand phones which you can't hear while in a crowded location. I had this problem with the Samsung S105. While walking through the streets of NYC I couldn't hear very well. You see that I'm Jewish? Last name gave it away I guess. Shalom.

Originally posted by ewod I was just curious if the earpiece would blow my ear drum out or not I guess...it is better having a loud earpiece rather than an earpiece like the 5300 which makes it hard for you to hear sometimes...I'm not a religious jew and I know no hebrew, but shalom right back at cha...

Originally posted by ewod I just now noticed you also had the motorola i95 lgreenberg...this may not be a fair comparison, but in terms of reception and a better color screen and better battery life which phone is better the motorola i95 or the sanyo 8100? |
|
Originally posted by lgreenberg It's not that loud. I always keep it on the highest ear piece volume setting, so if you find the speaker hurts your ear simply lower the volume level. I don't know hebrew either, just threw the "shalom" at you for kicks. |

Originally posted by gsmornot What??? Man I keep mine on the lowest and it is more than enough for me. This thing is LOUD. |

Originally posted by ewod is it fair to say that the sanyo 8100 has the nicest color screen out of all the phones now our days? |
|
Originally posted by lgreenberg No, I think it's fair to say the Sanyo 8100 has one of the nicest color screens of all the phones now and days. |

Originally posted by ewod how was the samsung a530 lgreenberg? that is a nice little color phone... |
|
Originally posted by lgreenberg It's a decent phone. IMO, the LGVX400 and the Samsung A530 are the best phones for Verizon right now. The biggest thing about the Samsung is no analog. If you live in an area where you get constant digital coverage this isn't an issue but for some it is. |

Originally posted by ewod from what you've seen and have experienced and heard about are lg's better than samsungs quality and reception wise? I think you mean the lgvx4400 lgreenberg...

Originally posted by ewod I'm really turned off by the sanyo 5300's size...I don't like flip flop phones that are particularly rather big... |
|
Originally posted by Paradox to me it isn't that much bigger to even matter... Plus once you get used to the bigger screen of the 5300 (which makes up for the slight bigger size) you'd never want the smaller screen of the 5300... |

Originally posted by lgreenberg Sanyo 8100 vs. Motorola i95cl 1. Reception: I really don't like to make these sort of comparison since reception is more a function of the provider than the phone in this case. I'd say it's pretty close though. Nextel and Sprint both have very good coverage in the areas I am in. The i95cl does suffer from signal jumping, where it goes from full service to little or no service, back to full service in a matter of seconds, while sitting in the same place. I have not seen this with the 8100. 2. Color screen: The 8100's screen is far nicer to look at. 3. Battery life: I have been very pleased with the 8100's battery life. I'd have to say it is better than the the i95. Granted Nextel phone's are not the greatest. But they have two features which the 8100 does not. 1. A speaker phone and 2. Direct Connect. |

Originally posted by ewod my sister has the i95 digitaljem and I think it's a very cool phone so don't take it back since you already have it...there are a lot of things I like about the i95 that many other phone don't have...if I had nextel the i95 would be the phone I would get because the i95 is their best phone...the only thing I don't like about nextel is their plans and it seems all of them you have to pay a lot of money for and since I don't use phones that often (just for emergencies and what not) I think sprint has plans that are right for me... |
you must have been reading something else..heh that's funny. I've been with them for 2+ years now, and have not once thought about cancelling my service or replacing them with another provider. If you knew how picky I was you would be like.. "wow, 2 years, and you're still there.. ".. Going on that fact, I don't think I'll be leaving Nextel anytime soon. I might however add Sprint as a backup provider for when I am in non-coverage areas, which is what I would ge tthe 8100 for
