    A Motorolla V550 and a V600. One is available from Vodafone, the other o2 and according to the basic specs on the website, there doesn't seem to really be a difference. I'm sure this could be solved with some basic googling, but I'm just hitting the sack. Come on, be nice ;)

    The V550 has three extra features:

    Vibrate and ring simultaneously (the V600 can only vibrate then ring)
    Video recording
    Skins

    The V600 doesn't have the above but includes ring lights.

    EDIT: The LCD screens are also different:

    The V550 has a transmissive TFT which looks brighter and clearer indoors but is harder to see outdoors. The V600 has a transflective TFT which is the opposite. (easier to see outdoors but darker indoors)

    So it seems that the V550 is better, I would have though the opposite (purly because 600 is a bigger number. Many that's Karsni :)

    I find those compare sites focus more on "Our phones are great, buy some" Then advising on which is better

    Yeah, there is a few differences between both, including the number of displayable colours on the screen. To get more colours you get the V620, which is basically the same hardware as the V550, has the extra features etc. Oh and sim free the v620 seems to go for about 10 - 20 euro less, should be able to get one for about €250 or so.

    Also, there is a specific reason for the early arrival of the v550. Namely that the reliability wise and quality wise, the v525 was a piece of crap. Good on paper, bad in practice.
