I'm contemplating on getting me this mobile handset. I am having 2nd thoughts though if it's really worth it, as the guy I asked from a local network said that only a handful applied for it under contract  I saw the specs and thought that it's a good one, more on MP3 thing, like that of the  W800i, can be compared 'head-on'. Members who already owns this one can post their experiences (good or bad) with this handset here. Please advise. Many thanks !

@schob - I am assuming here that what you meant by - third generation is . . . . 3G Looking at the specs, I don't think it is.

@bobafett - I respect on your opinion about that. But basing on my experience with the V60i-style and it's simple features (old model), I am really pleased using it despite it's oldness . . . I even managed to get 3 V60i's on different occasions, maybe that's why I really LOVE this fone. I am contemplating either the E680i or the V3, will be getting it under contract - SOON!

@bobafett - Since the E680i looks a bit 'late' when it comes to specs when compared 'head-on' with the a1000 So, I decided to get the ONE in between the TWO (since I don't SEE any of the A1000's out here ) . . . . a Motorola A780 ! It has a lot of accessories in the BOX (what I liked) like 2 batts etc. Will just scan the fone and stylus first

@bobafett - Well honestly, I haven't SEEN a Moto A1000 near my place mate  Well if you find the LOOKS least more - SERIOUS, well that's fine pal, as I am NOT that serious when I bought it  Just 'feeling' the touch of a 'newer' Moto fone dude (used with my vintage V60i that's why) . . . I think this is one of the latest in my place (though 2004-2005 manufactured). I wonder which is the latest between the A780 and the RAZR

this design would have been interesting ca 5 years ago. listen, i had some umts motos in the last time. a925 and a1000 has got p900 fw in it. e1000 has the most beautiful screen i ever seen. unfortunately moto batts are only acceptable, not the best. the moto fw is very instable, full of bugs ( for example when the fone is turned off, u put in the batt and it turns on auto ). all these gives weak points for the moto, more then disturbing in a smart. anyway, give a try for a1000 and forget this toy 680 or whatever.
