When I got the V3, I was very disappointed. Their was a buzzing sound in the backgroud (I've heard a lot of complaints about this...). The sound is too low, which makes it hard to hear people when you're talking to them. Only supports MP3's that are of very low quality for ringtones. There isn't an MicroSD support, so no removeable storage for pictures.I would go with the V3i, V3x (If you have Cingular, don't get the V3x, it doesn't support the 850 GSM Band that Cingular uses.), or the MING (A1200).NOTE: These phones can not be washed in the washing machine, you can ask my friend Kaia...what a ditz heh.
