Basically the same, but V600 has video playback, removable fascias and
concentric flashing. 500 and 525 are the same but for network branding. V600
is the one to get BUT only if you can find the right tariff, V500/525 will
be perfectly fine for a few less quid per month. (Also, I believe the V5xx
can be flashed to V600 firmware)

I'm getting a V500 later this week, I really wanted to get a V600 but saw
sense when I realised it would cost me £48 more over 12 months*. Lovely
phone though, good luck with your selection.

* How? well...
V500 on Orange online (120mins & 30sms) + 30 sms = £17pm
V600 on T-Mobile E100 Half-Time = £21pm (via Fwd Cellular, not in stock)
Vodafone have a similar online deal (£15pm) to Orange, but doesn't offer
number porting.
