I don't like the V3. It reminds me of a remote control.
100m bluetooth is good, but that's about it.

neither, K700i would be my choice of the latest phones. the 4 way button pad hting on the 6230 is to fiddly for me and i cant use it propelry, and the RAZR is too short and wide, and all that metal makes it feel hefty aswell

he wants something that with an instant flip can have something long, thick, n hard in his hand!
i think u'd be silly not to go with the nokia but u know what i think anyway.

they all sound quite expensive...! the razr for ultimate coolness, but maybe not for usability (touch sensitive non-pressable metal keys... a la the ZX81)
whats the nokia look like, most of their modern phones seem to be a little... bananas..

I'm seriously considering the 6260. Has a lot of features on it, and for me to buy it handset only, its cheaper than what I paid handset only for my 7250i some 14 months ago. I have stuck with Nokias since I chucked my Motorola, which was a waste of space. Must admit though, the new Motors are v snazzy. My (biased) oppinion says Nokia... But its up to you.

I would go for the Nokia, the V3 looks nice from side on but from the front you can tell why they have made it so thin! I've never had a Motorola myself but have always been told that they are the worse in terms of usability.
I think you have to decide what you want from a phone, something that is flashy (v3) or something that is subtle but works just as well (nokia!). Or simply go into a shop and ask them to bring out both for you to have a look at and then decide for yourself!

he's seen and felt them both, n i'm in agreement with u all. the v3 looks well nice but i know they are like f*****g mazes to work. the nokia doesnt look quite as flashy but still nice and has better features, better usability, and u can spin the top half round to use it like a camcorder type thing. so u can reach all those places u never could before more comfortably.

Oh, sorry didn't realise he'd seen them both. I was going to go for the 6260 as well, I think it's probably the only 'decent' phone out, some of the phone are just a bit too 'funky' for my liking...may be I'm getting old, I went for the 8910i in the end...yes, its an old phone but it's nice to hold, study and easy to use, plus I had all the accessories from my old 8910 that could be re-used!
