ok, maybe you could pay me. but seriously. both of those phones are not worth the money. the mpx has a lot of features but the software is really slow and laggy, the camera is sub-par for a so called 1.3mp and the earpiece is horrible. can't hear shit. also, the mpx has been recalled at least 3 times because of the earpiece and it still sounds like ass. i believe the latest is the 'black dot' on the box.

the v3 is cool lookin and thats about all it has going for it. its wider than most phones cuz its thinner in the other dimension. basically they just squished it down. IMO the v3 is uncomfortable to hold/talk on and i dont like the keypad. screen looks nice. i sold maybe 5 of them while my store carried it. all but 1 got returned for a lower priced phone that did more shit. my store stopped carrying it basically because no one was buying it and it was overpriced.

buy a LG. or if you must buy a motorola, get the v551.
do you carry the MPX300? any feed backs on it?

i work for a company that has a contract with best buy for me to sell all three carriers that best buy sells. that is verizon, sprint and cingular. back in 2001 when i worked for best buy, they still sold voicestream/t-mobile but they dropped TM in favor or VZW.

Hows the speaker phone feature on the v551? The one on my current phone is total crap, and i would like to be able to just set it down somewhere while i talk with someone.

My friend already has a V3, the main reason i liked it was because it fit nicely into my pocket. and the nice key pad... thats about it.


Any other phones you would recommend that are small, the v551 looks like its one of those phones that would make my pockets buldge. How does it compare in size to the regular v60's.
speaker phone on the 551 is great. the only other cingular phone that i carry in my store that i would consider along with the v551 would be the LG1400. the 9100 is cool if you do a lot of txting. no camera though. the downfall of the 1400 is that it doesnt have a speaker phone or bluetooth. it is also cheaper than the v551.

overall i think the v551 is the nicest all-around phone cingular carries. nice bright crisp color screen, good speaker phone, bluetooth, nice camera. not too big, not too small. very comfortable to use. definetely my choice.

They're coming out with a whole line based on the RAZR platform, more affordable too.

the razr design isnt bad, it was just severely overpriced and you could get a lot more phone for a lot less money. if they do what you say they will, that'll be awesome for motorola. TONS of people came in asking to see the razr phone and oogling over it but then walked away when they saw the price tag.

Any idea when the new line is coming out for motorola? My current phone still makes and recieves calls, just can't get into the menu because some of the buttons are messed up. If the rest of the line is going to look like the v1150 I think i might just wait if the waits not to long.

You got to pay to play. You want a BMW, you pay for a BMW.

I think this summer... Alot of V3 owners are upset, saying the new phones cheapens the original V3, I for one, can care less.

yeah, but the fact is that the v3 is to the 551 as a g35 is to a 350z. you get more power and functionality out of the 350 and pay less than the g35.

that and the v3 is hardly the 'bmw' of phones. it is defientely not 'the ultimate talking machine'

Didn't mean to imply it was the BMW of phones. Your G35 / 350Z comment can offend some people :rick:

If the V3 isn't your cup, then that's fine.
Do I think it's worth $600? No.
Do I like the phone? Yes.
Should people pay $600 for a thinner version of any Motorola phone? No.
Should people pay $600 if they want a thinner version of any Motorola phone? Yes.

my g35/350z comment is true though. i like the appearance of the g35 better than the 350. if i were trying to decide between the two i'd take the G just cuz i think it looks sexier.

and dont get me wrong, i 'like' the v3, i just think its overpriced and you can get a lot more car for a lot less money. but hey, if you like it go for it. knock yourself out. its still a 'nice' phone. just like the 350z is still a 'nice' car but i like the g35 better, so i'd pay the extra for it.
