Well, I got my phone last Friday. Just wanted to say it is AMAZING! Best. Phone. Ever.

I am very pleased so far.

glad to hear you like it. I still have my mind set on a Z8. Saving up for that will take a while, but it's not gonna be coming out till like October, or so i hear. I might get a MAXX later in the year though, depending on if the price goes down any more.

That's good. I don't think the price of the maxx is going to come down too much more. It was going for $550-$600 just a few months ago. Now it's down to around $300 and seems to be staying there.

yeah that's true... but I still don't really have the money for one, plus the Z8 looks like it's gonna be expensive. I thought I saw one on preorder for like 500 EUR, which is like $700 USD

well I just put an order in for one myself. Should be here wednesday at the latest. Cant wait. Especially since my Z3 was K.I.A the other day and i'm stuck with a crappy 3 yr old samsung s307 for a backup. As soon as I get the chance I'm gonna find a good cheap moto for a backup phone next time

Sweet. What kind??

if you mean VL/LD, mines a VL. What's the difference between the two cuz that's the one thing i can't find

Oh. I have a VL, too. The VL is like the Asian one I think and the LD is the European.(??) The software is non interchangeable in the two. Motorola seems to release more s/w for the VL than the LD, but I believe the VL is known to cause more issues. Although I have not experienced any issues with mine, some have reported sudden death by taking out the battery with the USB still plugged in, so be careful with that.

Oh, ok. I knew the firmware wasn't interchangeable between the two but that was just about it. And I'll be sure to watch out for the battery/usb thing. I hope we have good 1900 coverage in my area. I'm trying to think of what would be able to enable quad-band on it. I read somewhere that maybe the 0032 seem or maybe another from the cingular V3xx would be able to help. So maybe all my useless free time will be able to do us some good
