Anyone w/ a Motorola V.60 Phone?

I am looking for some input on this phone. Mostly on the durability on the antenna, I have had 2 nokias and had to replace them because the antennas were cheap. I was looking at my friends phone (V60) and the antenna seems strong only wiggled a very little bit if at all. But I want someone elses feedback too. Can the antenna take a beating and still work?
 
I've had Nokia phones for 5+ years and decided to try a V60 a few weeks back. I had it for less than a week and took it back. The flip kept coming open and catching on things, their leather case was TERRIBLE (when you opened it, the case blocked the speaker), the battery life was 1/2 of the Nokia 8260 and it lacked a lot of features that I liked. Harder to use, too. On the up side, it did have slightly better reception and the sound was clearer.

If you're worried about an antenna, get the 8260. It doesn't have one, so there's nothing to break and is small enough to fit in the pocket. Battery life is awesome - I'm a 600+ mins/month kinda guy, and I only have to charge it every 4 days. Downloadable ringtones are cool. Only downside is that reception isn't QUITE as good as the 6xxx series, but still just fine for me.

go with the v60:

a) it looks bad ass
b) less radiation than ANY nokia
3) better signal
4) more bragging rights 😀
5) helps attract chicks (YMMV)

I've had it for 6 months and antenna still works like a charm. only downside is that it'll scratch if you don't protect it.
 
antenna looks pretty solid to me.
I've had my V.60 for about 6 months now and dropped it a few times lightly, and the one drop that did the most damage was when I got out of my friends car and slipped on black ice and used my bodyweight to crush the phone to the asphalt. few scratches on the shell, but antenna still good as new.

only think I don't like is it isn't as user friendly as nokia phones, and the phone reacts to commands pretty slowly as well. (need an xp1900 in there to boost things up🙂).

overall, if you need a worldphone, take the V60 or V66. otherwise, it's not really worth it.
 
i got one of these recently...had it for about a month.

GREAT PHONE.

the antenna -- i can screw it on and off...so u can easily replace it. but it's really durable.

i don't like using the leather case nor the holster, so it's in my pocket all the time....nohting bad at all, but small scratches.

the 2 things i don't like about my phone..well 3 things:

1) no alarm
2) no caller groups
3) no games.

but i have the FM radio headset and that is pretty damn cool.

the sound and reception is way better tahn my old 8260. 🙂

and igot it for a good price too. heh

oh ya -- if any of u guys find a website that has ringtones for this phone, please let me know! 🙂

Thanks guys.

I am going to get the AT&T version of the phone (V.60T). Even though its listed as $300 i can get it for $149.95 if i get it threw work. I work for JP Morgan Chase 🙂. I also like that it has a "fixed" antenna instead of the one that can get pulled out like on the Verizon V.60c.

Thank you very much!
 
Yea it was $400 when I temped at Verizon in Des Moines in December
