Which do people think is the best between the Treo 650, Audiovox 5600 Motorola 220 and the V3 -- Rosso81 >Which do people think is the best between the Treo 650, Audiovox 5600, >Motorola 220 and the V3?

Different needs and priorities will have different best products -- there is no one best product any more than there is one best car. For my needs the V3 RAZR isn't the best fit because of: (a) no EGPRS(EDGE) data, (b) uncomfortable [to me] form factor, (c) no headset jack, (d) no PoC, (e) external display hard to read in daylight, and (f) not worth [to me] the price premium. For my needs and priorities the current best fit is the Motorola V551, but I respect that other phones are better for those with different needs and priorities. The question of the OP was especially hard to answer because (a) he didn't list his needs and priorities, and (b) his choices are so different.

Depends what you're looking for for features. Do you just want a phone to talk on, does it need great RF? Do you want to use it as an MP3 player or watch movies on it, play games, etc? > Which do people think is the best between the Treo 650, Audiovox 5600, > Motorola 220 and the V3? V551 and if you can find it, V635. V635 has everything the V551 has plus 1.3mp camera and add'l memory with memory card. SignatureSteve > > Which do people think is the best between the Treo 650, Audiovox 5600, > Motorola 220 and the V3? The V551 has absolutely horrible RF, so if you live in low signal areas, I'd avoid it. Otherwise it's a nice phone. We swapped my wife's for a RAZR because of the poor coverage at our house. > V551 and if you can find it, V635.

The V551 works much better than my Nokia 3360. Those two are different technologies, and I don't have another GSM to compare it to, but the V551 works fine for me. It is certainly not "horible". --- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 My friend has V551 and he gets great reception. You might be in bad coverage area or you might have a bad V551. > The V551 has absolutely horrible RF, so if you live in > low signal areas, I'd avoid it. Otherwise it's a nice phone.

I had bad reception with a TDMA Panasonic Duramax (which has had exceptional reception elsewhere). In order to switch to a national plan at a reasonable rate, I got a V180, which gave me a little better reception at home, but not much. Later, I upgraded to a V551 -- a notable improvement on home reception. I have seen NG threads indicating that there was one (possibly several) run(s) of V551s that was quite poor. The concensus seems to be that most (including mine) have very good reception. Bill K > Which do people think is the best between the Treo 650, Audiovox 5600, > Motorola 220 and the V3? I examined both the Treo 650 (integrated phone and pda) and the Razr V3 (phone) along with a Palm T3 (pda), and finally decided on getting the V3 and the T3. My reasoning? Primarily form factor. While the Treo 650 is a wonderful product, I decided I wanted my mobile devices to be as small and light as possible. Hearing a Treo 650 user mildly complain about the weight was the point I finally made up my mind. By the way, I LOVE the V3! |
