Guest vinokirk Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I am trying to decide whether to buy an LG GT540 or a Samsung Galaxy Europa i5500 for my two sister-in-laws (13 and 18). Both have a 600MHz cpu. I havent had a look at them in person, I will do later down at Carphone Warehouse, but personally the LG looks better. Anyone here in the teenage girl age range who has used them? In CPW on an O2 pay and go upgrade the LG is £110 and the Samsung is £80. Is the LG really worth that £30 more (£60 as I'm buying two). What are people opinions? LG: +3.0" screen +320x480 resolution +3.2mp camera -2.1 Eclair -Resistive screen -150MB on board memory Samsung +2.2 Froyo +Capacative screen +170MB on board memory -2.8" screen -240x320 resolution -2.0mp camera I will be going into town in a few hours to get them, so some speedy opinions would be appreciated!

Guest vinokirk Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 The screen is my biggest deal breaker. I cant imagine using swype on a resistive screen is very good. I have let them use Swype on my Streak and they loved it. Does anyone use it on the GT540? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest borovaka Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I am 20 years old and have LG GT540 i like the design of the phone, and the good quality of the camera. For me the only plus of Galaxy is Capacitive screen. Why you don't look for LG Optimus One. It comes with Froyo, capacitive display and the cost is 20-40$ more then GT540 ( in Bulgaria ). Sorry for my bad English :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will suggest you to get the LG GT540, because of the resolution and the bigger screen. It's a resistive one, but it's great and responsive.

Guest vinokirk Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I ended up getting the Europa in the end. I had them both side by side, the LG looked way better, almost as good as my Streak, and the resolution was amazing, you could most definately tell the difference. But for teenage girls I think the capacative screen would be better. And the £20 price difference was a big factor too of course. If I was buying one for myself it would be the GT540 all the way.
