I've had a Motorola v551(lost it in a cab) and replaced it with a v555 (I think same as v551, just gray instead of blue.) I like these phones alot. I dropped the v555 really hard on some concrete about a week after I got it, and it has yet to hiccup on me. Much better reception and volume levels than the LG phone I switched from back in May. Takes good pics (even in low light) and decent video considering it's a phone and not a camcorder. Lots of ring options on the v555 (unlocked phone) but not so many on the v551 (Cingular specific). I've hooked it up to a buddy's bluetooth headset and loved it, just need to get a headset on the cheap for myself now.

2 complaints: I can't get the Motorola "Mobile Phone Tools" to sync up with the phone so I can transfer pics to/from the PC, and it's easy to hit the side buttons and accidentally change the ring style (i.e. from vibrate to loud -- this can be a big hassle in meetings when you know you turned the phone to vibrate and yet it still rings on you.)
