i was an lg fanboy for the longest time. owned: tm510, vx4400, vx6000. but when the feature-rich motorola v710 dropped, i couldnt resist a change. and thus far, i have been impressed. so have co-workers and friends with the features this phone has. mp3's, videos, bluetooth, speakerphone, removable media, etc. not to mention the reception on this thing is better than any other phone ive owned. and according to cnet, the v710 ranked #3 in the lowest-radiation cell phones. so it gets a good signal and wont fry your brain at the same time 😉. using the standard battery, i unplugged from the charger on monday at 11pm. it has 1 bar right now, and that was after almost 2 days of bluetooth usuage, playing mp3's, taking a couple pictures, and jut plain talking. so i can honestly say i am very happy with this phone.
