Samsung Solstice II or the Samsung Evergreen?

[ckuczek]

I had a Pantech Impact that quit working two months after it was purchased and I had a Samsung A737 that quit working not too long ago, both phones dropped in water.  Since I have to get a new phone, which one is the better option, the Samsung Solstice II or the Samsung Evergreen?  I have read reviews about both devices and they both have their pros and cons.  Which one would be the better buy, or should I consider a different device?  Any feedback would be helpful.

In this category, I would go with the Solstice II. My sister has had her original Solstice for a little over four months, and it still works great, even though she purchased it used. It's in pretty rough shape, (scratches on the screen, some dings. etc.) but it works phenomenally. There's no doubt that the Solstice II will be any worse in my mind.

Honestly, I like my Samsung Mythic better than my sister's Solstice because it has better styling, more features, and a better camera (with flash).

Good luck on your choices, and let us know what you decided to go with.

I bought the Evergreen less than a month ago.  I am not happy with my choice.  I hate to think that I am stuck with this for the next two years.  I am hoping tht I can return it for another phone.

Wild Banchi and janna57, thank you for the advice on both of those phones.  I now have both of them and while I am happy with the Samsung Solstice 2, I like some of the features that the Samsung Evergreen has to offer, such as the physical buttons, which makes text messaging a lot easier.  In terms of audio quality, I like the Samsung Solstice 2 better.  My contacts say that I sound clear when on the Solstice 2, whereas with the Evergreen, I have to hold the phone a certain way in order for my contacts to hear me and for me to hear them.

Isn't it odd that there are differences with phones made by the same manufacturer? Haha.

You're welcome.

I do find it odd that phones made by the same manufacturer have different quirks, if you want to call them that.
