This article doesn't look at the practicality of the devices, but compares the two against each other which device should you buy if you had the choice. Since both operate on different networks this means if you're already with a carrier your choice may be restricted. As stated, the Firefly operates on the GSM network (T-Mobile, Cingular, Rogers), and the Migo operates on the CDMA network (Verizon, Sprint, Telus? or Bell?). The thing with GSM phones is you could potentially purchase it 'unlocked' and activate it on any GSM network provider of your choice. You cannot do the same with CDMA. If you're purchasing for the first time and will choose between the two networks (Cingular and Verizon in the States) then the rest of this review will help your decision making.
