Thinking of picking up a Motorola 60C to replace my aging Kyocera, but i'm not sure if the phone's worth the money. I can get it for about $175USD after MIR. I know it's an awesome phone and all, but what exactly makes it worth the pricetag?

I wouldn't buy it. If the 60c is similar to the V60i from ATT Wireless, you'll have the antenna broken in a week (It's a POS). To top it all off, it's not covered under warranty and then you'll be shipping it to Motorola to get it fixed. Ergh!

You know, it's funny, but all the reports of broken antennas on the V60i phones seem to be coming from ATT customers. I've had a V60i for a while from Verizon, and the antenna has been fine. Verizon and other customers don.t seem to be having the problem. I wonder if ATT got a bad batch, or modified the phone in some way?

Also, the antenna problem hasn't been reported for any other V60 phone.

And that's a good question, is the the i60c or v60c?

I'm in Canada, so i can't get any of those sweet deals on Amazon. But i can get sweet plans, so it works out in the long run :) The phone is a v60ci. Go figure.

I have a phone much like it (the V60i) and I love it. No broken parts here. I say go for it.

Where can you get it for that price in Canada?

Bell Mobility with 24mo contract after $150CND account credit. So you gotta pay $460CND including taxes, but you won't have to pay a cent for cell phone usage for awhile.
