Summary: Finally worth the upgrade?
Review: My Moto V60g is just now outdated. This V600 is the phone I have been waiting for. Bluetooth, it works as a modem, 115kbps in fact, over 300kbps with "Propel", syncs with my MS Outlook Calendar and Contacts, drag and drop pics, sounds, video, looks a step cooler, etc, etc. Plus I can use my old car charger, data connect cable, but Bluetooth replaces it, the same ear bud so it saves some money and I have less crap to try to sell on EBAY.

The phone itself is great! Cingular, not!

Cingular tech support knew nothing! about this phone even though they have it on their site. Remember the Cingular Data Connect kit? Forget it. Be prepared to spend $29.99 for the Moto "Phone Tools" otherwise it won't work. No one but Cindy at Cingular knows anything about software upgrades and support. I had to upgrade from $6.99 to $24.99 just to get a wireless internet feature that would handle my this phone. I hate that kind of incidious marketing strategy. I feel ripped off.

Oh!, by the way, you will need this and that! Tell me before I get the phone home. AND I even went to a corporate store in Santa Monica, CA. I don't want to cast aspersions on individuals but his initials are Frank!

Summary: Excellent features, poor construction
Review: The phone is everyhting you could ask for. However, if you're like me and prefer flip-phones to all the Nokia-style "accidentally-dial-someone" phones you WON'T appreciate the hardware on the V600. When the phone is flipped closed, the spring stays loose and won't shut all the way. It leaves about 1/16-1/8 of an inch of space if you hold the phone upside down. This gets VERY annoying when going to pick-up your phone and it answers because it opens-up slightly.

The "quick-fix" is to disable the active flip, so that it won't answer the call upon flipping open the phone. It still can be very frustrating because sometimes the LCD goes berzerk and flashes on and off, not knowing what to do.

I used to have a Samsung phone and their contruction is much much much better. Their phones stay closed no matter what.

I'm curious if the new Motorola RAZR will have this problem...

Summary: 2 fatal flaws, otherwise good phone
Review: the v600 is a classic moto clamshell phone, with very nice keypad, and a solid feel. it is a bit heavy and not small but for me the larger size and metal casing are a pluss. it is similar to the old Nextel i95cl.
however, unlike that by now almost 5 year old phone the v600 has 2 killer problems:
1) it is incredibly slow when scrolling through the contact list (i.e. phone number list). my list is only abot 20 entries long but the phone just can only scroll through 3 entries at a time, then it has to "reload" and that takes allot of time. how this huge step backward in the probably most frequently used aspect of the phone could happen is amazing.
2) to write an sms one has to go through several menu items. then once a sms is started you cannot leave the sms screen or you will loose the message. you compose a message get a call or want to look something else up in the phone and the message is gone. nokia has handled this so much better for years now.

Summary: Good Phone but beware
Review: This is a good phone, a little over priced for what it can do. The first problem is that the software is still buggy and cause slowdowns when the phone is operated. The phonebook is bad because it does not let you organize different numbers under one name so meaning that you will have the same name with his/her mobile number, work number, home number all listed as separate entries. The worst thing about the phone is the volume. The ear piece volume is really low and u have to use a headset when outside. The speaker phone is an adavantage. The bluetooth is really great and easy to setup and use. You can download the Motorola Phone Tools from www.motoclub.com and use it to synch your outlook and your phone. You can also get the USB cable for the phone, from like ebay or something, and add all the ringers and photos and videos also. Overall nice phone but unless you really want ATT, otherwise I would look at the Nokia 6600 offered by TMOBILE.

Summary: V600 well above average
Review: This is a very good flip phone with many super features. The bluetooth motorola earpiece takes a little getting used too but works fine. The screen is a little on the small size and as mentioned in another review the on and off buttons are reversed so it takes a little getting used to. I wanted a SONY 900 but was unable to get one in my market (Nashville). I replaced a Samsung vg1000 which was fine but SPRINT is by far the weakest service provider. It took 45 minutes and 6 people to cancel my service and then it wasnt prorated for the remaining 16 days. I also have a Sprint Treo 300 that dumped all data 6 times in 4 months and refused to power up. I cannot stress strongly enough that SPRINT is not customer friendly. I have found cingular to be far superior in the short run at least.

Summary: Excellent Phone
Review: This phone is by far the best cell phone out today for AT&T.
Good call and sound clarity, easy to use, good camera quality, GREAT features, and good battery life. Speaker phone and the bluetooth feature is great also. The quad band of this phone is great because of the international calling capabilities. The phonebook need shortcut features. Other than that, the phone great. It's definitely an all-purpose phone. No complaints.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very happy with this selection
Review: This phone replaced my Nokia 8390. It is a far superior phone. The phone gets great reception and I have no problem hearing the other caller. I had to turn down the volume. I don't lose the signal in certain areas of my house/neighborhood that I experience with the Nokia. The large color screen is great, the key pad is easy to use. It took me a little while to adjust to the weigh, the 8390 was smaller and much lighter. The camera is very easy to use and it even takes good pictures indoor. I did find moving around the menu a bit confusing, it isn't as straight forward as Nokia. But the option to customize the navigation keys is a plus. The phone book lacks a note feature, which I used frequently on my old phone. The external keys are too sensitive. I trigger the "smart key" frequently when reach for the phone. The bluetooth capability is a big advantage and the phone works great with my AT&T Wireless service. The external screen another plus.
