straight talk phone service ; which phone is better , the samsung R451C or the motorazr V3a ?

I recently discovered the straight talk phone plan, and i figured i would give it a try [nothing could be worse than boost mobile (: ] . The only thing now is im stuck between 2 phones, the samsung R451C and the motorazr V3a . So i was wondering which phone was better and if anyone has any personal experience with either phones. Thank you (: The straight talk website only gives the following information about each phone . So any personal insight would be appriciated :] SAMSUNG R451C: Mobile Web Services 1.3 MegaPixel Camera MP3 Player (cable and SD card not included) Slider QWERTY Keyboard Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Caller/Picture/Ringtone ID Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) Rating: M3 Hands-free Speaker Voicemail and Call Waiting Key Pad Lock and Alarm Clock Phonebook with up to 500 entries Battery Talk Time up to 4 hours Standby Time up to 14 days Vivid Color Display MMS picture messaging Downloadable ringtones and graphics Text Messaging Voice Dialing Voice Recorder Voice Commands Vibration Alert Auto Redial 10 Polyphonic Ringtones Includes Charger and Services Guide MOTORAZR V3A: Mobile Web Access/Internet browsing External Caller ID Instant Messaging Voicemail VGA Camera Bluetooth® Wireless Technology MMS Picture Messaging Downloadable Ringtones and Graphics Hands-free Speaker 3-Way Calling Alarm Clock Phonebook with up to 1000 Entries Battery Talk Time up to 3.6 hours Standby Time up to up to 12.8 hours Includes Charger and Services Guide ok thank you . i have been hearing from many people that the samsung would be better . and what do you mean by its quirky camera , what is that , why is that bad ?

1. The Samsung kicks the Razr's butt up and down the sidewalk . It is better then the Razr for several reasons. A 1.3 megapixel camera for GOOD pictures. The Razr's VGA is about video quality. In other words, sucky. A FULL qwerty text keyboard. Ever try to text on a non keyboard Motorola? SLOW. Also, the biggest strike against the Razr is this, this is a NEW Razr, the V3A, But, it is actually INFERIOR to the original Razr V3M and V3C which came out on Sprint and Verizon over two years ago. The V3M/C had stuff like a 1.3 megapixel camera and 3G/high speed evdo web while this Razr only has the slower , older 2.5 g web. The 3g one is FIVE times faster. Plus the original ones were built solid . The newer ST version is built like a fragile toy. I say the Samsung hands down. Also, Samsungs are better built in general then Motorolas. Samsung is the number two phone maker in the world where Motorola used to be. I would pick a Samsung over a Motorola any day of the week. The only thing about the Samsung is its quirky camera. But hey, when is a phone ever perfect?
2. I agree with Mike. The only thing I would add is that I believe the Motorola has slightly better call quality. For a full review of the r451c, check out this link: http://r451c.com Another thing, supposedly before Christmas Straight Talk is going to release the Samsung Finesse r810, a touch screen phone that is already available on some other providers like MetroPCS and, I think, US Cellular. If you're going to wait a while longer, that's another one in the mix, though it's pricey at $300. It supposedly will have EVDO, though, for much fast web access, although it remains to be seen whether STraight Talk will somehow limit that feature. It also has a 2.0mp camera and video recorder. Here's a link to info about that one: http://r810finesse.com/
