Despite on what you might read in these reviews this phone is a great upgrade. I recently upgraded from my V600, the V3 is a bit wider as some may have noted several times but this gives you a larger screen to view. It has a better color resolution than the V600 with some added features: Better AIM interface, quick launch buttons for email and Internet, wider body makes for easy handling of phone (if used without Bluetooth headset (HS850). The one thing I like also (for you V600 users) is the flush keypad! My screen of my V600 would get scratched from the flip contacting the keys.) Not so the V3. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I had to purchase my own clip (holster) the phone also does not come with a headset, (Not a big issue if you plan to use the Bluetooth).
