    Motorola v600 and 500, Sony-Ericsson Z600, Panasonic X-70. Are there any
    other GSM phones with Bluetooth in a clamshell form factor?

    Could anyone compare advantages and disadvantages of these phones? Not only
    in their Bluetooth
    implementation, but in their overall features and qualities (including of
    course BT, but everything else as well).

    Thank you in advance for any feedback. :-)

    Well, you sound like you may well be a troll.

    The question was not "daft" at all, and my other sentences were not at all
    "twaddle". But I guess that's all a troll like you can see.

    Why is asking if there are other GSM clamshell phones with Bluetooth,
    besides the ones I mentioned, "daft"????? Please explain. And that was not
    the main part of my question which was to compare these models, describe
    their advantages and disadvantages, etc. Isn't comparison of phone features
    a frequent topic of discussion on cellular newsgroups and discussion boards?

    I guess only a troll would see that as "troll material". Everything is
    "troll material" to a troll.

    I don't know why I'm wasting my time answering you, as you obviously are a
    troll.

    A lot of newsgroup threads are "unanswered". That doesn't make the original
    poster a "troll". Besides, it was just posted yesterday. Doesn't mean
    anything, that there are no answers yet. Unfortunate, that the only "answer
    was by a troll who calls himself "Avanti" who goes looking for posts in
    which to attack the poster, and call the poster what he himself is, a
    "troll:.

    Unfortunately, I think such trollery as you are engaged in might well
    dissuade serious posters from engaging in this discussion. I hope not. A
    discussion and comparison of these phones might well interest many people,
    and I hope they are not so put off by your trollery that they don't want to
    get involved in this discussion.

    I think I am making a mistake by responding to you, As they say, "don't feed
    the trolls". Trolls like you just write to get attention for themselves, and
    by responding to you, I'm giving you that. Better to ignore you. I think
    from now on I'll try to ignore you, or perhaps killfile you.

    So--sorry other readers, that I responded to this troll. But I hope others
    who are interested or have knowledge of the phones I mentioned will still
    get involved in this discussion, and ignore this guy.

    Sulk all you like, if you look I post asking qusetions too, no one asked you

    you.

    Anwer to the question: The V500/600 and Z600 are the only "clam" phones
    with BT at the moment. However the Motorola MPX220 is on its way and will
    be a huge improvement on the MPX200 and because it is Windows based,
    synching will be a breeze. Hope this helps a bit.

    Thank you for your reply. (I'll ignore the troll from now on.)

    I have also read about the Panasonic X-70, that's another one available now.

    Are you sure the MPX220 is "on its way"? There was much talk of it some
    months ago, but it's usually never mentioned anymore. Instead, Motorola has
    been announcing two other smartphones to come out later this year, the
    Mpx100 (not a clamshell) and one just called Mpx. (First discussed as
    "MPX300", but later just as "MPX".) The 220 is never mentioned any more.
    That one did appeal to me, but I got the impression that Moto dropped it.

    If you do have any information that the 220 is really coming out (URL?), do
    you have any idea when?

    Do you know of any comparisons between V500/600 and Z600?

    Thanks again.

    So is the Panasonic X70 which was available before the Moto V5/600 series.

    I have a Moto V600 and am very impressed with it so far. I have had no
    trouble with BT connecting to my MSI dongle on the desktop, the Dell D600
    and my Palm although I have not yet used the phone to dial via the Tungsten.
    There is a lot of control using Phone Tools and I can sync my phone book,
    back up and transfer rings/pics/vids with this software. Java apps are
    installed by 'pushing' them through the BT drivers from the PC.

    The camera, while low quality, is surprisingly useful at 640x480. The phone
    body of the Moto feels exceedingly well built.

    My only other experience is the X70. While it has BT, Panasonic have so far
    ignored my friends request for support with BT sync to the PC. Evidently
    this is not supported via the software.

    Photos from the X70 are very low pixel.

    I have a V600 and am growing to be dissapointed with it, the unit started to
    failt to 'give' sms messages to the pc via the lead and MPT, intermittently
    the sounder would not alert when txt or calls came in, Orange decided to
    replace the unit, so today the courier delivered the handset, now I can get
    my sms, but after syncing the BT headset, it was full of audio distortion
    both ways and whilst I can pair it with my palm, the unit would not allow
    connection for the modem, what I did notice though is the camera is much
    better than the returned handset and is actually able to take decent
    pictures even at night although from the viewer it brightened the sky ,
    Orange have suggested I now contact Motorola which I will do on thursday. it
    is much better than the x70 though.

    Thanks for the reply. I have heard that the V600 will be available soon
    through T-Mobile (my carrier), so I might just end up buying one.

    The Z600 isn't Windows based (thank God), yet syncing is still a breeze.
