its worth it to flash to moto ui, vzw ui sucks although there new 04 version is slightly better than the original 02
if you or anybody wants to do it go for it, im under the same screen name over on howardforums and have done all that shit to my v3c
edit: for cingular phones remember you can use anything gsm with a sim card for the most part, so ebay is your friend if you arent renewing your contract and getting a cheap phone from cingular
what do you want in a phone? mp3 player or just ringtones? flip or candybar? size important? i love my razr simply because its thin and fits in my pocket without taking away from my natural man bulge. my brother loves the w600i, i love nokias but they make shit flip phones, basically decide if you want all the gadgets or just a phone, then pick accordingly
