V600?

Try using Google and searching for V600 reviews on the web. I'm
willing to bet there's hundreds.

Well, I might use Google, but I don't understand your reply. I asked a
question here, for readers here to respond if they wished.

If you have nothing to say about the v600, why do you respond to my post
just telling me to "use Google"? One always sees some posts like that of
Khris here. Rather silly, IMO. Why should someone write just telling me the
obvious, that I can look up a product on Google or any other search engine,
and not contribute anything to the discussion at hand?

Khris, are you of the opinion that newsgroups should cease to exist, and
that everyone should just "use Google" (I guess not "Google Groups"), and
not have Usenet discussions any more? If so, why are you reading this?

Or is it that you just bought some of that new Google stock, so are pushing
its use, trying to increase your Google profit?

And actually, using a search engine is not always the best way to find
unbiased information on a product. Why don't you try it? Put the term v600
into Google. What do you see? Thousands of ads. You would have to go through
a lot of results to find an unbiased review--probably less than one in a
hundred results. Even if you put the words v600 and review as your search
term, the result would be mostly ads. (Sales people know people are looking
for reviews, and put the word on their web site.)

So yes, asking about a Motorola product on a Motorola newsgroup is quite
appropriate IMO. I really don't need someone to tell me to "use Google".

(I hope this thread doesn't get sidetracked by this side discussion though,
and people continue to respond about the v600, like the very informative
reply by Olivier.

blah blah blah, I hope you aren't this long winded in person because
I'm sure people get very tired of listening to you.

My point is that there are more resources available then there are
pedophile catholic priests! Welcome to The Internet! What you're
willing to put into is is exactly what you're going to get out of it.

If you spent a little bit of time searching through the various
reviews, I'm sure you could find ones which would give you the
information you're looking for. Key idea here is "spending a bit of
time". Too many people are of the instant gratification persuasion
and don't have the patience or ability to do the work
themselves....they would rather have someone else do it for them.

No I'm not of the opinion that newsgroups should cease to exist, and
that line of thought has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The "very informative" reply by Olivier could have been found by
Google as well....which is exactly my point! The information is out
there, get off your lazy ass and search for it rather then expecting
it to be handed to you by others.

Just looked at the reviews on phonescoop. Makes me less likely to buy the
phone. Of course, some people like the phone and others don't, and one
doesn't know who to believe. But it seems there are more negative reviews
than positive.

Still interested in hearing from users here as well.

I love mine, I think it is fantastic, however I am looking at getting the
MPX - 200 as it supports outlook and takes a memory card. Other than that
the V600 is PROBABLY the best phone yet from Motorola.

try www.howardforums.com (motorola section) to see what current users are
saying.

V600 is simply the best phone I have ever had.

No significant defects, annoyances or faults after 3 months use.

Very sturdy, much more solid than a lot of my mate's Nokias.

Love the menus and easy to access functions, but I am used to Motorola's so
I know my way around. Nokia users don't like Motorolas, not 'cause they are
not good, but cause they are unfamiliar and the menu system is different.

Cam pics are good, I have printed several at about 6x4 inches and they are
perfectly acceptable for a cam phone. Not stunning but acceptable.

Screen is clear and big.

I've always preferred clamshells since I had a SE T610 and had to keep the
keypad locked to stop it dialling out in my pocket - what a pain that was.

Bluetooth functions are good and I can swap pics etc with my PDA without a
problem.

Ring tones are nice and loud - much louder than on the T720i - and the
vibrate alert is nice and strong - again, stronger than the T720i.

Reminder function is brilliant - if you miss a call or SMS the phone will
vibrate or bleep every 5 minutes to remind you until you open it up. Great
if you leave it lying out of earshot and a call comes in. Soon as you get
back in earshot you are alerted without having to look at the screen.

I have a Jabra BT200 headset which works perfectly - voice dial is reliable,
and auto answer works great when in the car.

Having said all that I am getting quite excited about the forthcoming RAZR
V3 or whatever its called. All the same functions as the V600 but in a much
sexier shell. That will probably be my next upgared in 6 months time.

Hope that helps.

Lofty
