Motorola V3

eclectichoney

Seriously thinking of getting the V3 as its on speakeasy for €199 at the moment, but just wondering how many texts you can store on it as my sister could only store 20 (and the same on her sim) with her motorola that she got about a year ago... My current phone stores about 60 (and another 20 on the sim) so would be looking for sth similar with the V3... also any comments on the phone, good or bad would be great... had a look through the past few pages and of course can't search, but didn't see anything much in the way of reviews...

thanks a mill

I'd put a worth of about 50 quid on them, €200, you could get a good phone for that much What about the Sony Ericsson k750? They're nice and if you look about you might get one for that price.

What happens with them? I was under the illusion Motorolas were pretty good these days.

Also, on speakeasy you get €90 credit and 300 free texts. Means you are paying less than €100 for the phone...

oooh thanks for the feedback guys... iv got an ericsson t630 which i love but getting a bit bored with it. however i think i'll wait a bit and leave off on the V3... even if it does look hot

they is so much electronics packed in to such a small space that they are VERY fragile, as in if it falls onto concrete while open it has a 50:50 chance of still being usable afterwards. Also there is a problem with a lot of the displays flickering while making a call as well as the usual software issues. So dont say you werent warned!

You can buy it without the credit alright, but not cheaper: http://www.expansys.ie/product.asp?code=120110

Personally, being an O2 customer I would be reasonably happy with the speakeasy price if I wanted a new phone. Sure €90 credit doesnt cost o2 €90, but it would cost me €90, and that frankly is all that matters.

Last few phones I have bought have been about €60 with €80 credit. Whats the problem with that? Should O2 have paid me €20 to take the phone?

@Elvis
Thanks for the advice, I was actually half thinking of buying one as a present. Maybe a Nokia 6101(or something) instead?

i'm thinking of getting one for x-mas or earlier
(my samsung e700 is shoite, cracked front screen, battery falling out etc etc)

If you have the chance get a D600 without a doubt/
