im looking at getting a new phone but i cant decide between 2 phones the new lg renoir or the iphone i was looking at the specs and the only major difference is the lg has an 8mg camera and the iphone just 2meg also atm my phone which is the lg viewity no offence but the battery life is crap it lasts 2 days and i was wondering wether the iphone lasts longer or the renoir

Manufacturers websites should tell you battery life. As for the camera, I'd imagine the 8MP is a whole lot better quality than the 2MP. Normally you can find reviews online with example shots so you can see the quality.

Life has taught me to stay away from Apple products. Especially ones that are called phone, but barely are.

Well all cameras on phones are bad, If I was you, I would ignore the camera, and choose depending on the other features, and if you need a camera, get a camera. However that might just be me being picky because i do a bit of photography as a hobby, and thus have a digital SLR, so I rearly notice the quality difference.

i have checked out the manufacturers website for both of them

viewity
talktime:210min
standby:285hours

renoir
talktime:200min
standby:350hours


iphone
talktime:10hours
standby:300hours

but the thing is my battery life (standby) i dont think is that because i have to charge my battery seems like once every 2 days or 3? doesnt make sense

You took the words right out of my mouth!, i couldn't agree any more.

Batteries degrade over time, and loose their ability to hold the charge, if all you are bothered about with your phone, just buy a new battery for it, it would be cheaper than a new phone.

The camera on the Nokia N96 is awesome.

I can't tell the difference between it and my dedicated camera I bought last year. Not SLR though.

I'd have to disagree, some phones have excellent cameras. But it is a bit hit and miss and megapixels does not equal a good camera.

Yea, I guess that's more what I was getting at, and you don't know if it's good until you see a specific photo review for it, which I haven't seen any of for any camera, but I haven't looked that hard for them.
