I got the new motorola e1000

If you don't mind the battery life (I'm used to it, I have an apple laptop :P) it's a freaking awesome phone.

Even got built in stereo sound

Let me rephrase...For my needs the Nokia 6170 is a much better choice to either of the phones you have mentioned.

thats the 7270 prototype...

the 2 phones on my list initally were the 7270, and the D500. After reading a review on the 7270, I took it off the list and put the Motorola V3 Razr instead.

6170 = $560, 7270 = $850...Same features (Except the 7270 lets you change between 2 different "wraps"...colour schemes of the phone itself)

I know which i'd get :P

$850 is a poor price for that phone even if yours didnt exist.

The D500 can be had for under $700 and even the Motorola can be bought outright for about $650...and both, from what i've read, are better phones than the nokia.

Well I was meaning to say that the e1000 is pretty good so the razr should be tops too.

my only thing about the razr is it's such a hot thing, it's bait for a robbery.

I've never used a D500 or a V3 Razr so I can't comment on them, But i've used both the Motorola V600 and V620, (By used I mean actually made calls with, and used the programs and features etc) and they seem well built, my only troubles was they they kept continuously freezing, and it drove me up the wall, and put me off Motorola for the time being...My old phone was a Nokia 7250i, and having no problems with it, I thought I may as well get another Nokia, a choice I have not regretted...As I said I haven't used either the D500 or the V3 Razr for any extended amount of time, so I can;t comment, but whatever your decision is, good luck with it.

i had always had nokias...

started with a 3210 when they were new, then i had a 3310 for a while, then an 8210....which was nothing but trouble....

got rid of that for an 8250, which i had for a while, and then it basically died. it constantly froze etc, so i replaced that with the samsung E700, as i wanted something different to what i had always had.

Just before my 8250 packed it in, my mates 8250 died about 3 weeks prior....a few weeks after mine going, my mums 8250 pretty much shit itself as well. lol. so not a good run there. she now has an E700 as well...but hers is fine, and so was mine until it uh....broke, which has nothing to do with the phone itself ;)

ive had no problems with my E700, so another samsung would be fine....then after reading the motorola razr review, it seems to be a great phone...so ill have to choose 1 of them....just have to wait on a few things to be cleared up with optus.
