The 6160 is pretty nice, my friend has one here in NY. I have CDMA so I stick to My Q. However its a great piece of work and if one was available for CDMA id give my Q up in a second. The two things ive noticed though is that TDMA is really terrible. His calls are always static filled. I think my old Analog was much better. The other thing that struck me is how wide open CDMA phone market is. There is only one really interesting phone made by sony/Q and the rest are all big ugly klunkers. The new Q should help, but the demand for phones here is stagering and most stores have 1-2 models. I remember there used to be 20 analog models. This market is still wide open, and with Motanic and Ericy asleep in regards to CDMA I think Nokia(and sorry Qualcom Too)will benifit dramaticly!
