Nokia 6600 or Motorola V600?
I can't decide between which of the above phones I should opt for....
Does anyone have either phone, and if so, what are the good points/bad points in your opinion?
Cheers

I have just got the 6600 and it is a good phone, the camera quality is great. It does have its niggles but it's more complicated than the older generation of phones. I personally wouldn't have a motorola again and I'd always stick with Nokias because they are so user friendly.
p.s the niggles are probably down to the fact that I'm a bloke and can't be arsed to read the manual

I like it - does most things pretty well. I have no experience of that particular Motorola but if the user menu is anything like other Motorolas I've had they are abysmal.

Re the Motorola menu, it appears to be improved as its now a "list menu" with drop down for each category just like Nokias.
I had a Samsung a few years ago and got rid of it as I hated the menu system and couldn't fault Nokias, however they all seem to be falling in line now.

Just received the nokia 6600 this week.
Great phone, as said camera is very good, bluetooth etc etc.
Never had a motorola so cant coment, but nokia have always has a very good name and the 6600 does not let it down.

I have never really liked Nokias and much prefer flips so the V600 is my phone of choice.
Had it a few months now and have had no probs at all. An improvement on the 720 I had at one time and very well made.

got a 6600, its a big brick of a thing and sometimes its a nightmare for calling/messaging people and doing stuff on its own when you forget to lock the keypad. features are pretty good but i'm not a big fan of the phone overall, rathered my old sharp

Had a V600 since the first week of February with no issues!
I'm only charging the phone up every 4-5 days, the battery life is much better than my old Orange SPV (alomst as good as my Nokia 8310!!!)
The bluetooth headset is a little bulky, but it's a nice option that it can be charged up using the phone charger and that it folds up into quite a compact unit.
Data cable and software at additional cost, but it works well with XP Professional and Outlook XP.

yeah thats another thing about 6600, battery life is crap, had it charging from flat last night and made maybe 2 short calls and a couple of msgs and its just gone off, no battery. about 20 hours
