Motorola V635 Details Surface
V6XX Series: Skeptical, very skeptical...
I remember the huge V600 hub-bub and too-doo that went on for months and months... I finally got one from cingular the week it came out from them, only to go through 4, yes FOUR defective phones in 6 weeks. Bad luck? Yes. True for every V600? No, but for many. But where is the V600 now? Pulled from the ATT and Cingular shelves in only a short matter of time. (I understand the same was true temporarily for the newer MPX phone too). Now there is the to-die-for RAZR, but at $400+? Give me a break.
I'm no phone expert or carrier employee, just a gadget-centric consumer and the V6XX series phones couldn't have been more of a let down. Too bad Sony Ericsson can't put their feature set in a Moto s...

So... when I say reliable I mean that I've had one problem free nextel i830 since it came out several months ago vs. four v600's with both physical (outer lens chipping & flaking, flip-hinge mis-alignment(phone often thought it was closed when open - hanging up incoming calls) and software problems (battery meter didnt work etc).
This is not to say that iden phones are 100% problem free either, but perhaps more durable and less to go wrong(?). I also don't have any knowledge of any substantial iden phones to be recalled or be "pulled" recently either. Or witness any recent highly anticipated (high-end)iden phone (i730, i830...

Just my 2 cents and don't flame me. iDen is a Motorola technology through and through, much like QuickTime is an Apple Computer technology. As such, since it's an in-house technology maybe that is why the equipment is more reliable with the technology: iDen. I had the v600 also, and must say the original one I got which was made for the Chinese market worked flawlessly. It's only when I got the US version thru AT&T did I start to have problems. I went through 5 handsets since March. I just gave the last one to my mom, and she's pretty happy with it (it's the only one that worked properly and could hold a signal) and I have since happily upgraded to the Razr. Much better phone hands-down. I am looking forwa

Now why didn't that occur to me?
