At first i loved my V3, but I'm sending it back because after using it for two weeks I feel like throwing out the window. It's probably the nicest looking phone out at the moment, but it's just bloody awful to use for the following reasons;
* The menu's are extremly unresponsive - press a key and it can take over 3 seconds sometimes for it to perfom the action requested.
* The menu layout is so insanely frustrating and diffuicult to navigate. There is just no logic at all in the way it has been organised. 2 weeks on and I am still left scratching my head at the most simple of tasks.
* For no good reason, the email function has completely vanished off my phone. No one can tell me why it's just not there in the messages menu any more. I have searched the bizzare menu system but can't find and reference to it anymore. Very very wierd.
* The signal is pretty poor. No where near as good as my old Nokia's.
* The battery life is about half or less than my old 6230 and other nokia's i used to have.
* The Text input is a complete joke. Seriously, it's faster to use non-predictive text. The predictive text imput is soooo frustrating to use that i hate texting now.
* The final nail in the coffin was seeing someone sit down on a (very) soft chair with one in thier back pocket - the V3 was completely destroyed. I can't trust myself after a very jars of the special stuff.
I would advise anyone who is looking to get this phone to find someone who has one and give it a good test drive.
Looks like the absolutly STUNNING new Sony's will be out soon. Not sure which to get, the K750i or the W800i.
