Default Anyone have a Motorola v60c?

It was time to buy a new cell phone so I plunked down some coin for the high end Motorola. I have to wait a week for it to come in. Anyone have one?

I had one and traded in for another Nokia. I miss the slightly better reception that I got with the Motorola but the menu's suck and the battery doesn't last as long (talk time). It's a very nice phone and it gets alot of attention because of the novelty and small size. I also didn't like the fact you can't have personalized ring tones with the Motorola and that it has phone memory and SIM memory (at least with Powertel/Voicestream as a carrier). The display is very nice and it's a durable phone. Enough of my rambling, hope you enjoy your phone.

I've been waiting not-so-patiently for SprintPCS to start carrying these since last December. I would have already purchased one from Verizon if 1) I didn't despise them more than Sprint and 2) I didn't have to give up my cell# of over five years.

Anyone can check out reviews of it at:

One of the major knocks on the v.60c was its poor battery life, however an extended battery is available that doubles the talk time (and doesn't quite double the size).

Word on the street is that SprintPCS should be getting initial shipments of their version at the end of the month. I can't wait to dump my Timeport/Startac and start listening to Howard on its radio on the way into the city every day.
