Motorola V600 capsule review. 
My capsule review is: Don't buy a Motorola V600 if you actually want to use it for making phone calls. In all other respects it's great.
I've been waiting for the Motorola V600 to come out for quite a while. It's the phone I want to buy. I was delighted, yesterday, to finally hold one in my hands and play with it. Truly a thing of beauty and a great feature set. I was ready to hand over £50 that I don't have for the pleasure of owning one. Only one hurdle remained...
Reading about the phone on the web the reviews were all positive about how good it felt to own one etc... except for one review which complained about voice quality.
So I put my SIM in the phone and made a call. Indeed the quality was poor, tinny with a lot of distortion even at half volume. The speakerphone didn't sound great either but in a shop with music it's hard to tell. Additionally the person I was calling said the clarity at their end wasn't brilliant but again the music might be a factor there.
I was in town today so I thought I would try again. I went to a different store and tested. Again the sound quality was very poor. I got the shop assistant to try it and he agreed, noting that other customers had returned the phone with similar complaints. He certainly didn't seem surprised when I declined to purchase.
So there you go. Great screen, camera, bluetooth, GPRS, cool lights on the front, but useless as a phone. Pity.
[Curiouser and curiouser!]
