In December i am gonna renew my work contract, and probably will be able to get a Vodafraud Live damage... err.. branded V525 for free or almost anyway on a 2 year renewal plan.
I like the looks of the phone(s) and the display looks like the dogs bo..s
But i would like your unbiased views and opinions.
So.. please, no "Motorola is crap because a friend of my uncle had one in -96"-posts. If you own/has owned one, please post the pros and cons!
Cheers!

@threex - I used to have an old Motorola V60i back then, it's a good fone, despite it is a non-colored one . . . I guess you better pm @miss uk here, as she just sold her Motorola V600 back then, not quite satisfied with it's performance I guess dude? |

Pros
----
- Very good screen. Lower resolution than the K700, but better contrast.
- Attractive design. I am not a fan of clamshells, but the design of the phone is quite nice.
- Bluetooth. The Bluetooth implementation is much worse than SE phones, but at least it has bluetooth!
Cons
----
- External antenna. The external antenna spoils the aesthetics of the phone somewhat compared to, for example, Samsung's E700.
- Poor user interface. I am not a fan of the Motorola user interface. It's a lot more fiddly to use than Nokia or Sony Ericsson. T9, in particular, is far more messy.
- Rather out of date in terms of memory (4MB) and features (no radio, MP3 player or even video recording) compared with new phones such as the 6230 or K700.
- The V600 is described as having video facilities, which would lead one to believe you can take video with it. Not so! There is no facility for taking video - all you can do is show video, e.g. a .3gp file bluetoothed from a K700
