I suppose not all of you guys are interested in the most sexy and cool phone in the world.. But if you are, go for the Motorola V70 - A stunning head turner, but be warned, women prefer the T68 lol!

Contracted prices are £200, and £490 SIM FREE. Available on orange currently in the UK and the rest will follow in may/june.

Typically a far east model and motorola decided to introduce limited quantities for the european markets. I would buy one on orange as you can buy them quite cheap on contact. Leave it on the high speed data plan @ £10/month inc. orange care FREE. The orange badge on the V70 can peel off nicely and looks much better so you have an unbadged V70 at a very good price!

A close competitor is the 8910, which good too but not yet out. Prices will be similar as future prices indicate $650. The 8910 looks a bit f**ked up and too much like the 8850. It is also much bigger and heavier than the v70!

I still have my T68 but you cant compare the two its impossible. One is a power horse, fully featured mobile while the other is a very sexy, kewl beautifully finished mobile.

They've had them here for two months... I think it's a really crap phone, no Infra-red, stupid screen, weird looking, unhandy and of course Motorola.....

It's 520US$ here...
compared to T68i it's utter rubbish, sorry

Its not a bad looking phone, shame it has an external antenna. There isn't much on it in the way of features. Its a bit of a girly phone, a fashion accessory. CPWarehouse sells the phone without contract for £399.99 or a T68i for a mere £349.99.

The looks of a phone don't really matter as much as the features, that's why I've got the T68m. Look at the specs of the V70, no where near as good as the T68, nice looking but it's light on features and has that motorola name on it
