Which one is better? Im leaning towards this phone b/c i havent had much luck with my motorola phones. My v60 broke with 3 months left and the t721 is not well made and junkey feeling. Any other insight. Pretend money is no object. Thanx

Well, it's a trade off between features and other aspects. You can look up size and weight and everything by comparing the two. The Moto V551 has a little larger screen, bluetooth, and speakerphone. The SE Z500 has a color external screen, changable faceplates, and better battery life. They both have EDGE, so that shouldn't be the deciding factor. Personally, I'd like to get the Z500 (if it ever comes out!). Go look up the two phones and compare them.

I'd get the Z500. I've had the Motorola v600 for a while now and before that I had a SE T616. The SE phones are much better imho. Better menu's, phonebook, reception, etc... hope this helps!

Like flcelldog said, the z500a's screen is the same size, 128 x 160, as the t637. The Mot v551's screen is larger at 176 x 220, a pretty decent difference. The z500a's screen is a little smallish for a flip phone, in my personal opinion...

Just to clarify, the z500's outside screen is CSTN, but the main screen is TFT. 🙂

that's one of many places who report that there's a TFT screen, so as far as I know, there is. and if not, oh well. I'm waiting for the v620 now anyway. at least moto actually releases their phones.

I like the V551 better than the Z500. But I have the Nokia 6620 and its wonderful to me. I am not interested in anything currently out on the market at this point. 3G handsets will be available next fall and they are worth the wait. My 6620 will do fine until then.
