don't think waiting for the Mot is worth it since i'm not looking for top-o-line, but which is the best bang for the buck in yer opinion???

 

Go LG6000...My family has gone through FIVE of the a530s and we traded some in for the 6000 except the units that just died on us.

The a530 is too damn small (hard to enter numbers), slow software, BUGGY software, easy to lose, hard to hold/ bad feel for a call, and basically a pain in the ass.

BTW, Verizon needs to step up there fucking phone lineup. Sprint is kicking their ass in phone selection.

 

i'm assuming the lg does 2-way text messaging...that's one of criteria's i want

 

yes. it does 2 way. does it quite well actually...

too bad everything else about the phone sucks

 

samsung a530 i like alot if you dont need the camera...it's def a tight little phone.....they all do 2way texting..that is a must now adays...

 

i see what you mean...just got the phone today

i'm not really disappointed, but the software makes it look like a girlie phone...oh well...maybe i'll trade up for the V600 after a year
