Howard Chui Reviews The Motorola V600

By Ian Bell April 30, 2004

Quote from the review:

For those who have been waiting to upgrade their v60’s but didn’t find the t720 all that compelling, the v600 is a great upgrade. Every single aspect of the v60 has been improved. The v600 has 2 bigger and better screens, a camera, quad band GSM support, bigger phonebook and Bluetooth.

If you’re not a v60 user the v600 is still a good choice. There aren’t many phones that have quad band support and Bluetooth.

If you’re someone who plans on using the camera a lot and figures that the VGA camera on the v600 means you’ll also be getting a high quality camera then you should keep looking. The v600 is one of the worst looking VGA cameras that I have tried.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
