V265 Works similar to (it is a moto) V60. Has a fair camera, very good
reception, good speakerphone and will voice dial better than V60.
Don't forget you get a 15 day trial.

Wife loves her v265 (which replaced her v60i). Only thing I really dislike
is the plastic case (vs. the v60).

Take a good look at the Samsung. I'm a previous Motorola owner and was
hesitant to make the switch, but I couldn't be happier with my
A670--especially with its 1X data capabilities!!! Nothing will ever be as
bombproof as my old StarTac, but the ability to get my laptop online with no
charge other than minutes of use is soooo worth it!

One correction - the v710 DOES support VZW's 1XRTT data, the step
between QNC and EVDO. Data speeds range generally 50-80kbps, with
bursts to 144kbps.

GOOD CATCH, MIKE!! Absolutely correct. Thanks for the correction.

Another self-correction. The speed of EVDO is more like 2nd tier DSL...
Definitely not quite as good as most home cable speeds, but perhaps 0.5Mbps.

What is the Verizon's cost structure for 1XRTT? Can I still make the
PC-phone connection via bluetooth without degrading the overall throughput
to VZW?.

It works fine...the speed of 1XRTT is more than within what the
Bluetooth connection can push between the phone and PC.

Cost? I have the unlimited $79 a month plan, because I travel a lot
and use it a lot. But most folks' existing America's Choice plans
include what's known as "NationalAccess MOU" (for "Minutes of Use"),
which basically lets you use the connection just by using cell phone
minutes.

Whether that's what VZW intended, whether it will work for everyone,
etc. has been discussed to death in this newsgroup over the past 2
years...do a search for "MOU" in any archive of this group (i.e.
Google Groups, etc.).

Look at your bill, either in person or online...if it has
"NationalAccess" on it, you probably already have it.
