Re: Motorola V551 for $210 - NO contract
If I walk into a cingular store, what price are they selling the V551?
The online deal looks cool though

I don't know, and frankly don't much care, because I've decided to return it,
and stick with my Sony Ericsson Z600 (plus GC82 for EDGE data).

Well, I was about to buy one based upon your previous recommendation...will you
share why you don't like it anymore?
Thanks!

I think the Motorola V551 is a very good phone with some very good features,
just not as good as the Z600 >>for my particular needs<< overall, including
some significant flaws; e.g.,
* Less capable phonebook (Show Only Primary Numbers is still not as good as
multiple entries per name)
* Side keys that are too easy to press accidentally (too often turning off the
ringer when I put the phone in my leather holster)
* Text that's too small for my eyes (even with a different skin)
* Lack of persistent missed call and voicemail notifications
* Mediocre power management (fast battery rundown with a Bluetooth EDGE
connection)
* EDGE not as fast as it could be
* Complex, unintuitive menu and navigation system
* Pitiful selection of preloaded ringtones and graphics, and no games
(available at extra cost from Cingular)
* Somewhat cheap feel
* PhoneTools not included (extra cost)
Nonetheless, it's a close call -- the V551 beats the Z600 in other areas.
If I didn't already have the Z600, I might well keep the V551 -- I think it's
the best phone currently offered by Cingular.
Note: These are my own personal opinions. Others may well disagree.
