Any UK users on here, anyway here's the deal, I had a Z600 which i unfortunately lost this past weekend, anyway i have insurance so I have put the claim in, anyway in the t-mobile shop they then tell me that the Z600 has been discontinued and will ONLY give me a Motorollo V600, now i had a quick look at this phone and it looks very plasticy and flimsy towards the Z600. Would you be happy having to have this phone or would you be more intersted in having a T630, which i know they have instock and is basically the same phone without the flip. Also anybody know if the Motorola is Mac compatible ?

bit pissed off at having to change makes, and am not sure if giving t-mobile a ring direct might be a better option.

any thoughts ?

Can you ask insurance companies if you can pay a surcharge and then get a better phone of your choice?

If you were happy with the Z600 why not get a T630?
My wife had a V525 and hated it.

I dont think the z600 has been discontinued, i just think tmobile are no longer offering this phone, they said i could ONLY have the v600 which I dont really want. I'm going to ring tmobile to complain because they are supposed to give me the equivalent phone which imo is the t630, almost exactly the same features but without the flip.

ohh yeah to the moderator who pulled me for posting also in the regional section, sorry for that mate! The reason i posted as i did with half a title is ' to get people to read it' I'm sorry if you couldnt be arsed but i really wanted some advice, also I did put UK in there for a reason, so i did narrow it down a bit yeah !?

cheers

Yeah z600 has been discontinued on t-mobile as its nowhere on the website. I guess you saw the display model of the v600 cos the real thing has brilliant build quality and has that cold metallic feelng. I wouldnt get a T630 on T-mobile as they've put that t-zones button instead of the 'more' function, whereas they didnt do this with the z600. Also the tones on the T630 seem a lot quiter and have that pre-ringing bleep everytime it goes off. The v600 is a brilliant phone, works with mac, has a much better screen than T630, faster at texting and is the slickest out of the t-mobiles very limited range. Recommended if you can get over the UI, which people criticise a lot- but its the most customisable as yet, so you can make it work how you want.
