I got a new wireless phone yesterday. It's the Motorola v600. So far, I'm liking it a lot. A big bonus over my previous phone is that the microphone on this phone always works. My old phone had a problem with the microphone where it would occasionally cut off. If we were on a call at the time, I'd be able to hear you perfectly, but all you'd be saying is "Are you there? Did we get cut off? Can you hear me?" because you wouldn't be able to hear me at all. Then, sometimes, my phone would generate a high-pitched annoying screech that only you would be able to hear just before the phone decided to drop the call. I pretty much isolated it to the phone, not the network, because other phones on the same network would work fine. *shrug* The phone was two years old, so I'm not surprised it was time for a new one.
One of the neat things that my new phone has is a built-in camera. So, being the geek that I am, I set up a moblog where I can post pictures from my phone. Apparently, the site I'm using (textamerica) used to have the ability for the blogs to have an RSS feed, but that's gone now. If anyone knows of a (free) mobile phone picture blog site that will generate an RSS feed, please let me know so I can check it out. Becuase that's just the kind of geek I am.
I'm definitely looking forward to using my moblog to post pictures from SmileFest this weekend.

I think we're going to do this at the end of the week. After I hear about the apartment. *sigh*
Did I mention I was also planning to buy a car this week?>_
After checking with some of my buddies, it looks like the phones you mentioned are great phones and great values. Personnaly, I love Nokia -- they build good equipment. I love Motorola, too, but for the price range you're looking in, I think Nokia phones are better. Just my opinion, YMMV.
If you haven't looked at cellphones.about.com, you might want to poke around over there a bit. They're a pretty good location to get opinions on the different wireless phones and services.
I'm a die-hard Nokia fan -- but I'm tempted by the Sony Ericssons. (Though I can't figure out why a refurbished EricssonT226 is $10 more than a new one on the AT&T wireless site...) I kinda like the tiny brick look. I would be tempted by the Nokia 3200 as a cheap camera phone if it weren't so blasted ....ugly. I can't help it. After years as a Mac user, yes, I value form as well as function. ^_~
I'll definitely check out the site, though. Thanks. ^_^
Just my opinion. YMMV.
I notice they're not mentioned much in any of these "best of" articles...
