Anything else that's hot? I want it to have bluetooth preferably.

Bluetooth is great. Don't buy anything without it. If you can get your PDA and laptop with bluetooth as well, you're set.

I have the V600 and love it. However, Motorola just came out with the V710, which I heard is even better. You can check out a lot of new phones at PhoneScoop

I checked out the V600. Were I purchasing a new phone today, without question, that would be what I purchased.

I'm out of it. What's bluetooth?

It's a wireless protocol that allows devices such as cell phones and PDAs to talk to eachother. I use it every day to sync my phone with my MS Outlook for both calendar/schedule items and phone #'s.

No cables to hook up, so it's very convenient.

That's the least of it. For my powerbook laptop I can use the phone as a remote. I can have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and I think they have speakers out and a camera coming out soon with it. Plus certain cars have it now so your phone can link into your car.

All that's very nice, but too much for me :D. For a more..."regular" phone, this is my next purchase, Verizon just cam out with them.

Motorola
 

I work for Motorola in the cell phone group. I get to use a bunch of phones plus new, unreleased ones in user trial. You should see the ones coming up next....There are even coolers ones to come.

BT is great. I have a BT headset which is good when driving. It looks like this:

That's the one that I want. You can have it make different sounds when you open and close it. hehe. But I also like it because it has a speaker phone, which is what I like about the Nextel phones.

And you can d/l some awesome songs as the ringer. Right now I have "Desert Rose" by Sting....and "So Fresh and So Clean"...you can personalize each person with a ring. My bf's ring is A Ha's "Take On Me".

Remember the good old days when a phone was a phone and not a pager/copier/coffeemaker?

Maximum points for anyone who can remember the most appropriate Monty Python sketch at the point! (clue: shoebox) :)Awesome :). Give us the lowdown on what's in or on it's way out/stuff to avoid etc? :D
