Yeah, I'm sure my sis would like a pink V3xx, but she's spending a year in Italy, and I think the 900 MHz band is important (not that she'll be using it much, but still.)
I was thinking the same thing about the V3i, for it is more expensive than the K1 (from Motorola's site), but my brother has a K1m, and it's been nothing but trouble, and my sis thinks that the K1 is the same phone, but I would think that they would be pretty different, yes?
Also, another question is "if we get the K1, do we get it through at&t or unlocked?" at&t's site lists it as $99, but that's with a $50 rebate, so I might as well say it's $149 (because with my luck, rebates are seldom granted.) Motorola's site has unlocked K1s for $214, which I think is a pretty good deal.
I guess I'll talk to them and see what they like. I wish I could get them a pretty Nokia with 850 because I have two Nokias (E61 and 3250) and I like the ability to use each other's chargers, etc. Plus, I like Nokias a lot better than Motorolas. While I thought I would they would be fine without it, after talking to people in the at&t forum here, I'm not comfortable getting my mom and sis something that doesn't have 850, and I don't feel comfortable choosing something for them without 900, either.
