Motorola V600 - any good?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

I am looking to buy a flip phone and have been offered a V600 at a
very good price. However, I've read a few reports about flaky units
and bad contact handling, could anyone comment on this phone please?

many thanks

Thanks Kim - I appreciate you taking the time to write. I want a flip
phone so I will be replacing my Sony Ericsson K700i with this one. I
wonder if you have seen/used this phone and if so wonder how they
compare?

Many thanks again.

TEd,
I havent used the Ericsson k700i but I did have an Ericsson T68i and that
was a good little phone...limited accessories available tho and I didnt like
the 'joystick' feature to navigate. I will admit (as Colin Wilson has
posted), that Nokia's are the best phones and I know that my next phone will
be a Nokia!
Good Luck,
Kim
