LG Muziq vs. Samsung m520

[kcrowder]

I currently have an LG Fusic, which I will probably replace soon. It has been a good phone for me, but I do wish that streaming content, including Sprint Nav, would work through bluetooth. I mostly use simple phone features, Sprint Nav, Pandora, and the music player. I find that I rarely use the phone's external music player controls. I am considering replacing the Fusic with either the LG Muziq, or the Samsung m520. So, friendly users, any thoughts? I would like to hear about any likes or dislikes owners of those phones might have. Thanks.

I generally like flipphones better... more protection for the screen, etc.

The Muziq is slightly more expensive, but it has the FM transmitter and *can* be used for tethering. There's also the DLX... though it will be EOL soon, I think. The DLX has a full QVGA screen, which is better for web browsing and looking at pics. I gather you're not interested in a Centro, which is a pretty good deal for what it is... a LOT more "powerful" than any of these other phones, and at essentially the same price point...

I just got the m520 yesterday, after spending a year with the worst phone I have ever had (the upstage). Its pretty slick I must say, speaker could be better, but the call quality is great, text interface is good. I generally like the samsung ui as opposed to the lg. Which why when I switched to sprint i stayed far away from the lg's.

Good point about the flip phones protecting the screen better...my daughter recently broke the screen on her slider, inside a holster. She dropped it face down, and the buckle on the holster cracked the screen. The Centro does seem to have a lot of fans...but is a bit larger to carry around. And, no GPS, eh?
