My Motorola v600 arrived, and so far, so good. I'm in a marginal zone of AT&T Wireless GSM coverage, but this phone dramatically improves the situation. It's 7 for 7 receiving landline-placed test calls, and 6 for 7 on outgoing calls (one failure due to typical network congestion in my area). With my older T721, the numbers were more like Kurt Thomas shooting from the field.

The next test will be static. The T721 suffers from extreme static when you are in certain areas (fortunately, this static is only noticeable to the user and not to the person at the other end of the call). I have all my trouble spots noted and will subject the v600 to testing in these same areas.

One wrinkle: Apple's iSync, which sends Address Book data to other devices. It's hard to believe iSync doesn't support the v600 yet. Common sense tells me the v600 has largely the same user interface as all other Motorola phones and therefore can't be much harder to program for iSync compatibility.
