It does have bluetooth, but just for file transfer. There's no voice-capable bluetooth so you can't use it with a bluetooth headset.

Ah, sorry.
Someone at work mentioned it didn't work with bluetooth headsets and I assumed that it didn't have bluetototh at all.![]()
Yea the 7650 does indeed have bluetooth, it's just the fact that bluetooth headsets don't work with it. You will get alot of attention if you have one since not many seem to be around. Its not really the size of the front of the phone that is large, its the thickness of it. Because of the sliding keypad it is quite thick, you get used to it though.
Z600 is ok, or a V600 if you like Motorolas.
What are Panasonics like? you can get the X70 for £183.95 now

I'm not a fan of Motorolas personally. Their design and features are good, but their software is awful - very slow and a very inefficient UI design.
The only Panasonic I've ever played with is the X700. A good implimentation of the features it had and a solid build. Looked a bit generic to me, but I've never liked clamshells anyway.
I guess a Samsung phone is out of the question due to their lack of bluetooth?
Panasonics are awful, the X70 is known to have a number of issues.
V600 and the V80 are fine, they';ve got a lot better. I have a V80 and its not slow at all. Plus they've improved the UI a lot so that its now simple enough to use. I've had all sorts of phones, including Nokias, and I honestly find the UI on my V80 just as easy to use.
Wow I've just read about the Z600 and I want one. I've been considering a new phone and I think that's a strong possibility![]()

My votes for the SE Z600.
SE Z600 is dated, really. £200 buys you a sony-ericsson K700i, whilst not a clamshell its a better phone in every area.
The screen is fantastic, the camera is very good, mp3 ringtones, 10x the storage space, radio, compact, looks much better designed.
The Z600 is a bit large, camera is awful, lacks a lot of features and the housing wears away to white plastic instead of silver very quickly.
The V500/V600 have an awful UI and variable build quality. But I think if I absolutely must have a clamshell for under £200, it would be one of these.
THe SE K700i costs £230 Sim-Free. More than I'im willing to pay for a phone. And I'll never use half the features. I just want something a little more modern to play withAnd bluetooth would be nice for my PDA.
