Well, three of my good friends have V600's and I haven't had them come to me with any problems. And I see them quite often, and I sold them the phones, so I'm sure they would say something if there was a prob.

I also demoed out the V600 for a while and didn't notice any problems.

The phone (at least early models) had some software bugs that caused the handset to do weird things such as shut off unexpectantly, toggle through ringers without provocation, and switch between vibrate and ring mode. I think the problems have been addressed...but I'm still leery of Motorola (it's amazing that my Nokia 3589 can hold a signal like it does, and is built like a friggin' tank...all for $29 bucks).

Thanks for the info.

How about AT&T's service in NY? Or elsewhere?

Do you think it's spotty or are you happy?

Signal in New York (Metro) should be NO problems. I am actually quite happy with coverage in Metro areas, however, even with GSM in New York State, you head out to the boonies (with the exception of most all interstates) and you most likely won't get a call out.

- Just what I've heard from customers.

I agree. I've heard ATTWS service in Metro area New York is very good.

ATT Guy -

Have you noticed any problems sending MMS on the V600?? I had one, and I always got an error...possibly defective unit, but I don't know of any bugs as of yet...

I've heard of that very same problem with multiple v600 units. Again, I think Moto rushed this model to market.

It's amazing how many of the glitches the V600 is coming up with were also present in the V300--do they test these things at all? 😳

I would say it is an issue with the AT&T network. THey use to have a great network, but now with all of the changes that they have made in the last 24 Months the company has gone down hill. They over layed a 850Mhz network with a 1900Mhz network. Well anyone with any brains should have been able to figure out that 1900Mhz only propogates out half the distance that 850Mhz propogates. What does that leave you with. Holes, Holes all over the network, and poor coverage, and poor performance of the diferent feature offerings. It is a good thing they are merging with Cingular. May be they can be put back together again. Oh, wait they will be once AT&T starts AT&T Wireless all over again selling a network that actually works(SPRINT PCS).. LO...

🙄 perhaps you need to check your sources before you shove your foot down your throat. 1. AT&T overlayed 850MHz onto a 1900MHz network, not the other way around, so those holes that were created, yeah right. 2. Even if they were overlaying 1900 MHz onto 850 MHz the coverage would not decrease, the whole point of an overlay is that the old coverage still exists. 3. Many of the feature offerings for GSM require the 1900 MHz band, thats why it was the first band put out. it would be a pretty impotent GSM network without 1900 MHz as you would have no data services. 4. The frequency does not have an effect as to how far the signal reaches, a lower frequency will maintain strnegth over a greater distance, IE right to the edge of a 5 mil...

Actually, you are a not correct. The TDMA network was based on 850MHZ. The GPRS network was overlay-ed on the TDMA network(1900MHZ. Also, you need to go to RF school. The frequency does matter. You even said it yourself. That the lower the Freq. the better it penetrates. 850MHZ in a perfect environment propagates out 30 miles, while the 1900MHZ Freq. propagates out 15 miles. This is RF 101. By the way I have worked in the industry of 1900 MHZ way before you. Now as far as Sprint goes, they built there network on 1900MHZ from the ground up. If you do not think building your network from the ground up on a single frequency matters then you had better go back to school. I have talked to the RF engineers at AT&T Wireless and they are ...

HA HA HA HA HA, you should post more often, youre a funny guy, TDMA is based on 850 only, and I'm John Zeglis, CEO of AT&T wireless. Come on thinkl about it, if TDMA was 850 only then why do all aT&T TDMa phone work on AMPS, TDMA 800 (AKA 850) and TDMA 1900. Not convinced, let me list the first 5 market that use TDMA 1900 alphabetically, Albequrque, Atlanta, Boston, Bridgeport, Buffalo. It goes on, but lets not waste time on a mindless list, shall we. As for the propagation of the signal, it is all based on the amount of juice that is put into the tower, and the 1900 will go farther, it has a smaller sine wave that allows it to maintain integrity over a larger distance. As a side note, a cell phone broadcasting on a 0.6 watt antenna isn...

one month of AT&T could probably buy her for 2 years! 🤣
