Which QWERTY phone is better the samsung A177, the Virgin mobile X-tc, or any other suggestions? - ilubzjenny Okay, i am going to give little background to my situation. I now currently have the Sony Ericsson W580i (picture of this phone: http://www.idealgadget.com/wp-content/images/2008/03/w580i.png And it has grown on me so much but i really want a QWERTY phone cuz i am a texter (17yrs old) and it would make it a little easier for me but the Sony Ericsson w580i has like really cool features. It has: expandable memory i got a 1 GB memory card in it now, the themes are really cool and you can download them from internet i use a USB cord to connect to phone and transfer all of the themes, games, ringtones, music, stuff i write like in Microsoft and view it as a HTML. The music player is good. And i love the profiles on the phone like for example there is like a Meeting mode where it has everything on vibrate and silent mode where everything is silent and Flight mode like when i go on a plane and what not which are good for me since i travel and i need to have my phone quiet during school so it wont get taken away. the camera is 2.0 mega pixels it takes good pictures and video is very very good , aim is nice really wish i could change my status or update my own custom away tho. With all of that said i would like to have the majority qualities of my w580i Walkman for the following phones: -Samsung A177 (picture of this phone: http://www.geekcellulars.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/samsung-a177-1.jpg **THIS PHONE LOOKS LIKE THE MAGNET BUT FEATURES ARE DIFFERENT AND THE CAMERA IS VGA (which i am sort of not feeling but i would like to know alot more of the pros and cons -Virgin Mobile X-TC (pic of the phone: http://cellplan4u.com/zencart/images/kyocera-xtc.jpg **This doesn't have video only camera but i would like to know alot more of the pros and cons ***I would like to get a ATT phone so that way i don't have to do much and change my number and i can just put my sim card in the phone. I have the ATT Pick your plan Prepaid, but i really want a good phone that is like under $$150 but i could stretch another $$100 but no more than $$250 and has to be no contract or prepaid or something like that because my parents aren't paying for my phone nor phone bill so i am paying for this stuff on my own. So if you know of any other phones that are what i pretty much described through this whole pay please let me know. I AM SO MUCH APPRECIATIVE.***

Best Answer: I have the X-TC and it is really nice but like you said it has no video. The camera also doesn't have a flash either. The x-tc's keyboard is kind of cramped but after a while you get used to it. It can connect to facebook and myspace which is kind of nice. But as far as the samsung a177 i have no clue but the x-tc is what I have and it is really nice. Fell free to contact me for any other questions at yahoo.com my address is dtageson@yahoo.com -
