Hi
I got a V60v a few weeks back. I love the phone, great signal and
call quality. I have been following the review in the news groups and
the two sprint user group sites. You are the first person to complain
about phone quality. Most of the reviews are consistent. It is a
really great phone, but just a phone.
I agree about the changed connector, I assume Sprint changed it so
they could sell some more accessories. I just got a car charger; I
really like how small the AC charger is don't you? They also have a
really small AC battery charger (charge out of the phone). Look on
Motorola's web site
