OK... I realise I may get flamed for this, but does anyone know of a site like esato but for Motorola phones?
Why? I'm planning to get a V3 Razr. I have been a Ericssson (and then SE owner) for quite some time now (T28, T39 and T610) and I was very tempted by the K700i (and would have upgraded apart from the fact Orange messed up the firmware). I then waited to see the S700 and I have to admit I'm disappointed it's bulky (not heavy though), hard to use one handed, too expensive for what it provides and (IMO) is concentrating on the camera aspects. (All personal opinions
The Motorola V3 is a very neat and compact phone, feels solidly built in your hand and made the same sort of impression on me (I've gotta have one of those) that my original T28 made.
I have thought carefully about this, I have an investment in SE connectors, leather cases, syncing software (the wonderful FMA) and so on; but I have reluctently decided on a change of brand.
So I'd love to know of another forum that is as useful and knowledgeable as this one. |

I don't know of any site dedicated to Motorola. But there is a motorola section in prodigits forum.

@miss (sweetheart) uk - Maybe not all Motorola phone models my friend. As I had my V60i then and did not experience any problemos at all . . . Maybe it's just an isolated case when you got yourself a defective V600 back then  It only shows too that their technical support team (in your place) is not that fully equipped ( with brand related matters) . . . |

From personal experience.. I realized that the V600 has some serious issues they need to deal with. With all the phones i have used with motorola.. v600 takes the prize with glitches.
With the v60i.. i guess the less functions you have.. the less chances are for those missing functions to screw up on you. If you don't have it.. it won't screw up lol.
I was born with three legs. In the middle of my third leg, there's a dial pad, 65k color screen,  , and on the tip there's a  icon. |

Maybe Motorola's V600 is 'quite' similar with that of SE's K700/i 'flaws' issue . . . |

Thanks for those forum suggestions - I'll check those out tonight.
From what I've heard from the shops I've spoken to the V3 is flying out the door as soon as they can get stocks in. Of course as an early adopter I'll be beta testing for em, same with all new phones I imagine.
Maybe SE designers somewhere are working on a small flip phone. That would be nice. |

Well, my motorola e398's keypad stopped responding a week ago. Other than that, i love the phone. The people at the service centre replaced the phone for me at no extra cost, so that made me pretty pleased. They have good customer service to say the least.

I'm actually planning on returning to the SE fold with my next contract renewal. The hardware of the V3 is wonderful, but the firmware and user interface leaves a lot to be desired.
Thinking of getting a K750i. |

I've just bought the W800i (was waiting for the Rokr but yuck!) for the music.
But, my previous and still much loved phone was the Razr. Had it for nearly a year with no probs. It still makes people look when you take it out on the train. I'm not bothered about video capabilities but the camera could have done with being a bit better. Otherwise it's a seriously cool phone and I had no issues with it at all. Will still be using it.
So get one and enjoy! |

There are quite a few around (most of which I know from my referrer logs :/ )
Some examples:

Okay, so these are A1000 forums, I think they may still be applicable
