Both the Motorola v195s and the Samsung SCH-A870 have internall antennas which work well and help when you phone is in a pocket, purse or bag. Both good sound quality and the Motorola has the ability to get really loud, making it idea for hard-to-hear situations. The Samsung pushed ahead in this heads-up comparison because of its color LCD on the outside of the phone, huge compared to Motorola's 2-line calculator looking display.

The Camera on the Samsung SCH-A870 is a good VGA picture-taker and Motorola counters by including an earbud which is extra for the Samsung. Depending on the carrier, rebates and deals, either one of the phones might be available for free or little cost, but, if your buying an unlocked version without service expect to part with about $250.00.
