Lg renoir or samsung pixon?

chris3349

I am interested in the 2 phones above but can not decide which to go with i am after a great camera rather than mp3 player etc i have read and watched reviews on each but still cant decide not sure if i will use the wi fi on the renoir but it is a nice feature but the renoir has a few bad reviews on the touch screen not responding, the pixon looks nicer in my opion slightly and like the camera cover but is more expensive i can get the renoir for £18 on a 12 month contract after cashback and the pixon for £32 same contract.

Any throughts.

I too am looking at similar ohones. I had a look at the Renior today in the flesh and it was quite nice. The touchscreen was OK but I wasn't keen on the interface... that said I didn't know how to use it properly so that didn't help.

I also looked at the HTC Touch HD... it's in a different league in my opinion and is the one I really want to get if the price is right (and at the moment it isn't)

Where have you see the Renior for £18 after cashback?... it is still a very nice handset so I might be tempted by it anyway.

The renoir is the phone I seem to get the most returns on at the moment. The Pixon however is the most popular going out. I've heard loads of good things about the Pixon.

Hi thanks for the info i have since gone for the renior as i like the wi-fi option and doint want to pay the extra £5 ish a month for the pixon maybe a mistake but o well the website i used was buymobilephones.net but its not on there main pages you have to go through comparemobiles.com press on renoir deals and scroll to t-mobile i have since gone with the £35 combi 30 with web and walk 5 months free after cashback works out at about £20 a month.

That sounds like a good deal, I'll check it out... thanks for that

Just want to add, now that I have looked at it.... 12 month contract... 1GB allowance for web... that is a blinding deal.... I think Quidco too!!

Only possible issue is that some people have reported BuyMobiles as a bit "iffy" when it comes to cashback.... bit of a risk... fingerscrossed they don't go bust otherwise we'll still be landed with the full price rental

Argh!!! I still can't decide... the reviews on the Renior are very mixed... and then this one for example sounds very positive. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_FU8GNWm2lI&NR=1

The HTC is the one to have I think... it's just so damned expensive.

But if you want a top notch camera phone the HTC is a bit iffy, only 5mp and not a fabulous review (for the camera).

I think I've decided on an LG Renoir; orange are offering it free on Dolphin 30 - £24.46 for 400mins/unlimited texts over 18 months, and £50 quidco; so will try and get o2 to upgrade at a better price, or move to orange and take advantage of orange wednesdays!

The LG definitely has the better camera but as an all round package I am just unsure.... the HTC is just so sleek in the flesh and the screen is awesome. Most crucially it was far more intuitive.

The Orange tariffs for the Renior are OK but for such a phone you really need Web too.... the T-Mobile deal is therefore very good I think...

Think I'll pop into town to have a look at them all together before I make a firm decision; think I'd only use the web at home so wifi is enough, and bit dubious about cashback deals at the mo...
