Motorola V600 Phone (T-Mobile)
some good, some bad
My husband and I spent $300- each on these at the T-Mobile stores and got the bluetooth ear pieces and two $50 mail in rebates which seemed like a pretty good deal at the time. Three mailed back phones later, I feel as though I should have done things differently.<br /><br />* For bluetooth and as a phone the v600 works fine.<br />* It drops calls more often than our Virgin mobile phones did.<br />* If you like to make themes and mp3 musical loops for each individual in your address book you can have a lot of fun with it.<br />* If you want to use it as a camera you may end up having a lot of problems.<br />* It has a great weight to it and doesn't feel flimsy.<br />* T-Mobile does not have the customer service I was led to believe they have. It sucks, basically. Not all of it, the people in the stores definitely try to help you out more. But on the phone we received a lot of disconnected calls and lies from at least two customer service reps.<br />* No close-ups. Because the zoom means smaller and closer, not actual zoom.<br /><br />Every single camera I received had camera problems right out of the box.<br /><br />#1 - great previews, but the actual pictures once I sent them showed up as blurs.<br />#2 - bad pixelation both in the preview and sent photos.<br />#3 - great previews, but the actual pictures once I sent them showed up as blurs.<br />#4 - great previews, but the actual pictures once I sent them showed up as blurs.<br /><br />All of these issues occurred right out of the box. Literally. As we just started our service two months ago, I feel frustrated. And if you have major problems like this don't think you can get an equal value model or make up the difference (which some customer service people told us). T-mobile wanted me to get a cheaper phone in what they consider an equal exchange but that does not have bluetooth. Or the ability to import mp3 tones.<br /><br />I had to send the V600 back to Motorola due to the fact they never get the phones from T-Mobile. So they had no history of this bug. And T-Mobile did not take the bug seriously even though I sent two cameras back to them. The second with detailed instructions and the pictures to show the difference between preview and actual photo.<br /><br />So, if you want to get a good phone with great bluetooth and the ability to play with making loops for your address book, then this will work great. You would just do better to get a cheap digital camera instead of using this one for anything more than basic stills. And check it for taking picturs of yourself in the store or as soon as you get it via mail. Because I've replicated the bug a few times and taking pictures of yourself to send to family seems one of the ways they promote to use it. And I tried to use it for that (as well as other things) and had a major problem.e bug seriously even though I sent two cameras back to them.
