i think i want a flip phone so i'm inclined to go for the v600. any opinions?

FASTER MIKE!!

well i know 2 people that have the motorola v600 and they both say its cr@p they can never get a decent signal . i've got a samsung v200 which is about a year old or so and it great, thought a little rough round the edges and my sister has the newer version, and she can't fault it either.

I have a V600 and have found it to be a great phone
You will always get personal preferences with these types of things....ie. I dont like Nokias, had 2 didnt like the way they workso have chopped and changed makes over the years. On my 3rd Moto now. I also like Sony Ericson (sp)

all i want is bluetooth and mp3 ringtones. i thought the v3 was gonna be the answer to my prayers (for a small slim phone), but whilst slim, it's fookin huge.

Just got myself a Nokia 6230 today, playing with it at the mo'. Nice little phone, but I've been a big fan of Nokia's and their ease for the past 10 years
Still got most of my old Nokia's 'cos I got so fond of them I didn't want to sell them.

Anyone know a good place to download MP3's via wap/GPRS?
I get my ringtones for free from CBF MOBILE

6230 is a lot newer than the V600.

I got a V600 last April, hate it, only used it twice then went back to using my Nokia 6310i

It's quicker and easier to download them on your PC then transfer them to your phone via a Bluetooth USB adapter, or the DKU USB cable.

Got a V600 myself, great phone.
Signal is always an issue with Motorola as they are not a strong as Nokia on this, but great features, clamshall protects the screen, and the strongest point for me is that they are not as common as Nokia.

What pub did that bullshít do the rounds?

To even say any particular phone has reception trouble nowadays is complete waffle. It'll just be the airtime providers coverage at a particular point at a particular time.

Motorola have always been the serious communications business, the likes of Nokia have gained popularity over the recent years for mainly offering "Tomy" type phones for "Tomy" type customers, as well as their serious, if not ugly phones.

Nokia menus are easier to use but then they need to be for the majority of their users.

I hear their new model is to be called a Chavia 666

Spoon - get off the fence will ya

Unlike Nokia, who make WCDMA base stations and TETRA kit, for example.

I have had a Nokia 7250 and Motorola V600 during past 12 months, working and living in the same area all the time. Definite differences in signal strength.

But, as I said earlier, it is a very good phone in my opinion.

If you are in the mobile game then clearly you will know more about "serious communication" than myself, but this is purely my personal experience, and not "pub" propoganda.

Just got the 6230 Delivered about an hour ago, wicked phone, playing around with it at the moment !!

I had the Samsung E700 before that(still got it) & couldnt fault it

Anyway the 6230 gets my vote
