I would go with the V551. I have one and I like the Bluetooth feature. I
can connect to my PC and handsfree unit in the without the wires

Let me add one more vote for V551. I think, this is the best performing
phone in Cingular lineup.

V551 has a does video and pictures, v400 has does picture only. I have
both phones, plus the v400 has hands free speaker which i like very much.

Both phones are good, guess you have to see which features you would use
most.
PS: V400 can be unlocked easily with a special unlocking clip, V551 are bit
harder to unlock. I saw a few websites that claim they can unlock the V551,
but have yet to try to unlock it.
Good luck,
