HTC Merge vs. LG Genesis

HTC, so far, has a better track record for Android phones. Bottom line, I would go into the store and play around with both of them to see which one you like better. Its all about personal preference. As far as the Flash thing goes, its not necessarily the speed of the processor but the version. The Acclaim cant support it because its arm v6, but arm v7 and higher can. I cant tell you for sure that either one does or does not support flash. That would be the other thing to try out in store, they should be able to let you do that. You do have a 30 day return/exchange option, so remember that as well. The dual screen on the LG gives another point of failure. I have seen videos of the Merge and it seems like a solid phone. It looks like a cousin of the Desire, lets just hope they got the internal memory issue fixed with this one! Good luck and please share with your findings when you do decide on one!

 

Not sure about the Genesis, but looking at the USCC site, it appears that the HTC Merge is a "world" phone, with a SIM card for traveling outside of the USA. If this is an important feature for you go for it. However, if you want a bigger screen, better resolution, and a faster processor, with Flash built-in, I would recommend the Samsung Mesmerize (a phone which is top-of-the-line.)
