Motorola V300 or V600???????????

Hey guys...in the market for a new phone now and basically can't decide what to do. Can someone basicall break down the difference in features and stuff between these two phones. Should I wait for the 600 and pay a pretty penny or get the 300 now for next to nuthin. Whats the actual differences???Mikey???Anyone???

Also I could'ove sworn someone here said they have the Motorola V400...but went to like 3 stores today and eveyone looked at me like I got three heads...does it even exist???

OK...I now know the V400 exists for Cingular. Another question strictly for tri-state area members...whats in ur opinion the best GSM serice company for the best reception???I heard T-mobile has the most towers and are the best GSM network. Any help???

i personally think cingular has the best GSM in my area. i live in NJ. i love cingular have no problems.. im lookin into gettin da v400. but the only thing turning me off is the non changable faceplate and the plastive cover compared to the v600s changeable metal covers.
i donno weather to wait for the v600 or just get the v400.

The V600 is definitely the best one of the three. I would wait a little while longer...but not longer than Spring.

How does the V810 (verizon) compare to the V600? Are they even in the same league? And yes I know the V600 is only Gsm.:angry: But I just wanna know if I should even wait for the V810 or switch companies to get me the V600!!!

It's a toss up. Either way....you gotta wait...awhile.

I like the V600 because it has bluetooth.

Oh I see. I'm f#%$ked either way because by the time verizon brings out the V810, moto will probably have a much better phone for gsm. God do I hate Verizon. Although I cant complain about the reception. Just their lack of quality phones.!

When I got my V400 the difference between the 1 and 2 year contract was only $50. $199 vs. $149
