    I had T-Mobile switch my plan on the V66 to pay per use, back in October. There was some promotion going on and I got 150 mins. for $50.00 and the R225. They took the SIM card out of the Samy and put in the Moto. So now I have a brand new Samy, locked and without a SIM card, what do I do with it?

    I like the Moto over the Samy because it is a quad band.

    Please give me some suggestions.

    Thanks

    Keep it around as a spare. Or as an exhibit of how not to design phones. The R225M sucks IMNSHO. If you have issues with your Moto, or even if the battery runs out and you forget to charge it, switch the SIM into the R225M and away you go, no calls to 611 needed.

    Make sure you copy the SIM to the R225, very handy to keep a backup of all your phone numbers.

    What's so bad about the R225? I just picked up a C225 as a backup phone, and I think it's a pretty decent entry level device.

    R225M != C225. The C225 is what the R225M should have been. The R225M was shoddy product.

    I'd never heard the R225M was bad...but then again I never really paid any attention.
