I have had my V3 almost a year now, found it to be generally ok, don't like the menu system much, prefer the functionality of the Sony Ericssons I think. Got to be a K750 or W800 for me next. The main screen failed on my V3, but Motorola were very good, had it back fixed in a week. I think its all releative to what you want from a phone, as others have mentioned.
