but owning 3 headsets is a bit much IMO):Motorola HS801 -
Sony Ericsson HPH35 much more user friendly, sleeker and more "macho"

dave, better late then never to add my advice........first off some like to say what they want, in the end you do what you want, but gather up info for yourself........
Quotes like this "Black rims look as pathetic as tint headlight or black painted tailight. It's beyond ugly.
Put it this way: you may turn some head, but more because people see it as freak show, not beauty" make me laugh......not to be rude in any way but your the kind that sports the brabus or same old style that every other person has...what you like is what you like basically.....others don;t see it the way you do.........anyways i don't want to high jack another thread but dave don't do it, you would need to do more things like my car to add a theme.......stick to the bling, another choice you can go with is a light gunmetel color???
black wheels look good on any color but it's what the rest of the car has to offer, but you can;t go wrong with black on black.....

You bring good points Alex!
However, "you can't go wrong with black and black" Hummmmm...I read this interesting article that european tuning mags that are featuring black cars on the cover traditionally doesn't sell many magazines...so us black car guys get the short end of the stick when it comes time to feature are modded cars
I'm hoping "carbon fiber monthly magazine" will cut me a break :p

I'm hoping "carbon fiber monthly magazine" will cut me a break :pThe Jap mags do a good job by making sure the pics of black cars are taken in the right lighting environment - most of the time there's lots of shine and reflections to bring out the contours. Perhaps that's reason why the AC car seemed blue/purple in the pics.....the pics were enhanced to make the contours stand out...Similarly, white cars can also turn out to be a white blob if the lighting is too bright. So the japs take pix under lighting conditions that is slightly toned (incandecent lights, surise/sundown, overcast day etc) and make sure the cars are all polished up.
But in real life, I think a sharp contrast in colors brings out the best of designs...such as the newer AMG kits with the large meshes, hence a white one oneday....

I've never been too impressed with the Moto's but thought I'd give the V600 a chance when it came out since it was the first to have a quad band (useful for a frequent flyer like me).....had the phone for less than one month before the camera malfunctioned (software problem I was told). Out of the three main brands - Nokia, Motorola and Erisson that I've tried, I've had the most trouble free and user-friendly experience with Nokia. My next one will definitely be a Nokia, whatever the next model will be. Granted that the Razor is a smart looking phone with every function under the sun, I don't think I'll bother with Motorola again.

Rich, Dave..
It is KINDA worth the Mulaaaa!!! as you put it, but I wuold think they could have sorted out certain quirks..but still its way better then my Z600...thinner, cooler, wow factor is there, mp3 ringer, full duplex sound, first class bluetooth and quad band...etc etc. Plus i wanted a clam shell phone, and it was the thinnest around..so far, its been a sold out over here..can't seem to get it for a while..bought it on the first day at 9.30pm ! lol
I've tried all types of phone (Sony, Ericsson, Nokia, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and now the moto) and I'll definitely go back to the Nokia when they come out with some less bulky and cooler.. :p
