Which fone is better? I've heard that the v500 doesn't have full bluetooth eg can't transfer pics or sounds. Is that true?

Cheers

Well, I think Sony Ericsson make better phones in general. I was planning to get the Motorola V500 on Orange PAYG for £115 but I couldn't be bothered to wait until January (and it still ain't in stock yet!) so I went for the Sony Ericsson Z600 and I haven't regretted it, not even over the Samsung E700.

Can't say anything about the bluetooth on the V500 but I can strongly recommend the Z600.

I'll let you know as soon as I can get my bluetooth dongle I've got the V525 so I think it would be roughly the same with the V500 but with the crap Vodafone live menu.

I've checked the manual for the Moto - apparently y ou can mark several pictures to transfer thru bluetooth while the SE youcan only transfer one at a time. Will try it first...

@morbodestroys - I've got the voda v525 too. You wanna unbrand it and get some goodies too? I've modded my V525 and now it thinks it's a V600. I flexed it with V600 (generic, unbranded) SW, and now not only is it unbranded, it also plays vids! In fact, it IS a V600 now, with the exception of ring/event lights and removable cover. Not only that, it's a bit faster too. If you want more info, let me know. It's actually pretty easy.

Thanks! If you could gimmie more info it'll be much appreciated!

All i know is that i need a data cable (i'm waiting for an usb cable from ebay), motorola pst, and firmware and flexware.

I'm trying to get the V600 firmware - but i have been reading that there's ppl who upgrade both the flex and firmware have a camera bug and shoddy battery life. I'm not sure whether i should just upgrade the flex?

I've used bluetooth on a v500 and it's terrible, you have to turn on a 'find-me' function which activates BT for 60 seconds, then switches it off again (although I presume if it finds devices and starts communicating it stays on for longer). Go for a Z600, sending pics/sounds etc is impossible on the V500 but very possible on the Z600.
