Help! Need advise on what phone to go for!

I have narrowed it down, but am wondering if any one knows any info on them or if one is better than the other.
Motorola v525
Panasonic GD87, X40
Samsung E700

Thanks!:2jump:

If you want my opinion I'd go for the E700. The V500/525 is not bad, but with 100 Euros more you can have the V600 which is better (the flagship of the Vxxx series). The X70 is great, gives prestige but too expensive...it also doesn't have java...forget about the GD87. It's 2 years old, it lacks all the latest developements (no BT, no Java etc.). Hope I helped you

Moto wins. Is it a wonder or depend it on the fact that this is the motorola forum in this board? :insane:

I think you get more objective polls in the general-forum.

[McKinley]

I would have voted the same even if this poll where in another branded forum.

Motorola V500 wins.

[Ghibli]

The V600 has the best feature set, but the V500 has more value-for-money. Thus the V500 is the ideal choice.
