does anyone know of a list of what the differences between all the V3 model
features are?
not just carriers, I'm talking phone features. ex: V3, V3m, V3re.....etc...

Fwiw, I'd go to the source... it's an insanely long url though:
<http://www.motorola.com/consumer/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f5f36dc0c580b010VgnVCM100

Otherwise, once you hit the hellomoto branding, just look on the far
right, upper part of page for "view all phones."

I compared the Z6m, Z6tv, Z6c World on this site. Very funny.

All that feature software must be heavy! The Z6m weighs 3 grams more than
the Verizon models hobbled up.....(c;

There's a Dilbert cartoon strip for this, somewhere. Pointy haired Boss
complains to Wally, my idol, that his laptop is too heavy. Wally suggests,
"Well, you COULD delete some files." Then, in the last panel with Dilbert,
Wally says, "Well, it was only a suggestion."....(c;

The batteries delivered with these phones must also have a lot of
variation. They're the same phones, with the same batteries, but look at
the differences in talk and standby times....hours different....WTF??

The data capabilities are wrong, too.

With my Krzr(att) the time is always visible but not lit up until i push a
button. With some other carriers the Krzr shows nothing until you push a
button. This difference definitely uses extra power and would shorten
battery life.

Anything that's going on uses power. When I first got my V3a and had
initially charged it, contact entries, etc., really ate up power. I
had to charge it again after only a few hours although more than 3¾
hours of talk time or 13 days of standby time are claimed.

So far as cell phones are concerned, I think there are lies, damned
lies and then time claims. ;)

Politicians write time claims in sellphones...(c;

I guess I use up all the ROKR Z6m's "talk time" with the radio streaming in
my pocket to my Nokia N800 Linux tablet. Streaming audio uses a lot more
data transfers than sellphone telephone calls on CDMA's very low resolution
audio.

My Z6m display time is adjustable. What pisses me off is every time the
Bluetooth DUN switches from PACKET DATA to DORMANT, or the PPP link drops
and reconnects because the Nokia N800 automatically reconnects when dumped
on idle, the phone thinks it MUST turn the display on to announce it in
text....which, of course, runs the battery down. There's no apparent way
to stop it. I run the battery down in about 6 hours every day and have
charging cords in all the cars, now.

It's Alltel's fault. They let me have unlimited service for $25/mo
extra....
