Im on AT&T and ive got a Panasonic GU87 right now, im thinkin about going to the V600 but i dont know how much it is without buying a new plan and my brother tells me it can play mp3s as ringtones. does that mean i can upload a song clip from my comp and itll play it? thatd be kinda cool. what else would be good about going to the v600 from my gu87?

 

1) mp3 ringtones w/usb cable
2) bluetooth wireless tech
3) quad band gsm

without a plan this phone is probably in the 300-400 range

 

Sorry this isn't pertaining to your question, but how is AT&T wireless service? I'm thinking of switching from Sprint

 

I do have a V600 and love it the Bluetooth headset... kick ass!

 

I would stick with Sprint.

 

if i have the v400 now, can i trade it in for the v600? or do i have to pay the whole price? cingular has a sale going on.

 

its so cool they discontinued it.

 

i've had both the gu87 and the v600. just sold my unlocked v600 for $230. (sorry!!) nyway, the v600 is way better than than the gu87 (except the phonebook and v600 has no Infrared). ear volume of the v600 is louder, speakerphone is crisp and loud. mp3s are okay but to use it as a ringer, it would be a waaste to have more than 30 secs of it cuz after 30 secs, calls go to vmail w/ at&t. plus u can't have too high of a quality cuz it eats up too much memory. picture id is better cuz it shows a full (partially full) screen image compared to that freakin small image of the gu87. exterior and interior displays are much better with the 600. exterior lights of the v600 are fun to watch. recpetion is also slightly better.

things i don't like about the v600. text messaging. it uses iTap (later motorola models do) compared to t9. i feel t9 is easier to use. the flip part of the phone. gu87 has a more solid snap to it. v600, you kinda have to be careful with it cuz there have been cases where the plasticpart where the camera is had a tendency to crack if you flipped it open to quickly. motorola tried to put a fix to this by adding a rubber strip at the hinge part. i would always be cautious because of this, though. no infrared for the v600. i used to use this a lot when transfering business cards or phone number info.

just like any phone, it's a give and take. i would pick the v600 over the gu87. the speaker phone i used to use a lot. it was really, really loud and clear. and the different ring tones were cool too.

now i use an unlocked moto e398. it has a removable 64mb memory card. i haven't seen anyone in the DC area with this phone yet. i see v600 all over the place. it's not a flip phone but the feel of it in my hand is just awesome. much more solid than the v600.

hope this helps.
