I am planning to buy either v400 OR v220 with cingular wireless. Which
one is better? These are the things i like to have..
-External caller ID (picture caller id would be nice)
-strong signal strength
-camera with zoom
-longer talk time
If you have used either one of them, please post your views.
Thank you
Sam

I looked at both and went with the V400. The V220 was a bit too tiny
for my hands, and for my wife's as well. Just didn't feel right.
I have very good signal strength where I work using the V400 and
Cingular. Previously I had used AT&T with a SE T616 with okay-to-poor
reception and a V300 with T-Mobile with virtually no signal indoors at
work. Looking at the phone right now, I have four bars. With T-Mobile
I would have either zero or one, if I was lucky. With AT&T I had two
usually.
Camera with zoom is better than my old SET616, talk time is perfectly
fine for me. I usually charge a couple times a week. External caller
ID is good, but no picture.

This is a no-brainer. The v400 is MUCH MUCH better than the v220.

The V400 has picture ID but you have to open the phone to see it.

I bought a V400 for myself, and my wife chose a V220. She took hers back the next day and exchanged it for a V400 like mine. Side-by-side, the V400 wins for display size and clarity.
It's only slightly bigger, and my wife wanted a smaller phone. She's much happier with the better display.
