Motorolla V400 or V220 ??

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.

TOP had asked about external picture ID.

Thanks a lot everyone for your quick responces... I really appreciate
your help.. This would certainly help me decide which one to buy..

Thanks again,

Sam

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.
