Okay, so i've decided to get a cingular GSM phone and ditch my virgin mobile and Verizon wireless phones, the only problem is, I can't decide which to buy, I'm looking at the Samsung s307, the nokia 3600 and the nokia 3300, any ideas?

Check the Nokia and Samsung forums for feedback on those particular phones.

When you do a search within those forums, you get one for the 3300 and one for the 3600 so thats no help

Ahh, sorry. Have you played with the S307? That thing is sooo small. I played around with one at Best Buy and was left with the impression it was too small. I have read mixed reviews of the 3600 (poor screen quality, button arrangement) and I think the 3300 is just a little too weird, but I guess if you want your phone primarily for games and SMS it might be ok.

The 3300 is for games, music and multimedia stuff. If that's what you like, then this is the phone for you. The 3600 is more like a PDA phone, but it also has video and other fun stuff to play around. Better suited for business people who like to have fun on the side. The S307 is a simpler (and smaller) phone. If you are not into playing around with phones this may be your best bet. It doesnt have a speakerphone like the other two, but it has polyphonic ringtones, color screen and graphics. Almost everyone will find it too small.

On the negative side, some people have minor complaints about the S307 sound quality and RF. But nothing major. About the 3600, some people find it bulky and dislike the keypad. Then, the 3300, if you ask me, I don't consider that a phone. It is more like a gameboy with a phone built-in. Not my style. However, if this is what you like, I've heard good compliments about it.

In conclusion, the best thing to do is to go to a store, hold them in your hand and give them a real try. In the end, only you know exactly what you like best.
