Summary: Good Looks and Specs - WORKS POORLY in REAL LIFE! AVOID
Review:
I was looking for a quad-band GSM phone that I could use anywhere in the world (OK, most places). Though I was not particularly interested in the camera functionality, I chose this phone as it was the one which seemed to have the specs I needed.
But within a short time, my perception of this phone degenerated into the realization that the actual usability and performance of this phone leaves a lot to be desired (and gives you repeated opportunities to improve your inner self by curbing your irritation at things that don't deliver as promised :-) I have had this phone for about 6 months now and I will change it at the next opportunity.
Ok, kidding aside, some of the many things about this phone that don't work properly (design flaws) are -
* Traversing the menu for even simple things is a pain. Slow response. Many levels - for even frequently used items.
* Lack of basic call history information (if the same caller calls twice, their earlier call info. is overwritten!)
* NO TOTALLY SILENT MODE - Cannot silence the low battery alarm (though it can function fine for another 24 hours without charging)
* Cannot use the phone if the battery is discharged even when it is hooked to the charger. Must wait several minutes before you can even switch it on and ~15 minutes to make a short call.
* Side buttons constantly get pressed while inside trouser pcckets (and your hands - or anyone else's are no where near).
* Side button functionality (such as changing Ring tone level) do not work as you would expect.
* Speakerphone function seems great but you cannot switch on the Speakerphone until AFTER the call is connected - resulting in an awkward pause.
I could go on. Bottom line, this is a poorly designed phone (unreliable/bad personality) that is hoping to impress you by it's good looks and it's camera "feature". I think you get the picture - at least the smart ones reading this! Even the 4 and 5 star reviewers have mentioned numerous problems - they should really be at most 3 star reviews.
AVOID - there are many other better options from other manufacturers.
P.S. Also, be WARNED about Cingular resellers - they will LIE outright to get your business. And Cingular seems to not care very much.
The trend you support today becomes the norm tomorrow. Hope you choose wisely.

Review: 1- The worst manual(documentation) i have ever seen for a cell phone
2- Side-mounted buttons that make it difficult to so much as pick up the phone without inadvertently activating something
3- Gave it to my kids as a toy since this is absolutley garbage. No wonder you make money by choosing this phone(Rebate)!
4- I can not believe Motorola makes junk these days!

Summary: So-so......so you might buy another phone instead
Review: First and utmost, let me tell you that the manual is total crap!It is the worst manual ever written in a product's history. Now some good features SpeakerPhone:works OK. Camera:so so. Features:OK Setup:fairly EZ. Is this phone worth what I paid for it....NO! Why?Too many quirks I don't like...Usleless buttons on the side make picking it up a hassle. Camera resolution is poor. Usless pictures the phone came with take up space, and you cant delete without special software. Look for a better phone is my advice. I'm stuck with it you're not......yet

Summary: Good Phone..Just A Few Minor Things
Review: I brought my phone October of last year from the Cingular website..This is my very 1st flip phone & only reason I picked this phone was because it had really good features, its cute & it has mobile IM which is AIM & YIM..I was happy it had both of those on this phone because I love chattin with my friends soo I could be on both even when I'm on the go..However it has very bad reception..I give it 4 stars tho because it does not work inside buildings you have to talk outside & thats something I hate, but they have antennas for that, that can boost up your reception which I brought soo now I have no problems I can talk on my phone in buildings soo really I have no complaints..Its a good phone has great volume & a good camera just gotta constantly keep the lens clean otherwise your pictures won't turn out clear..I can't speak for others but I'm very pleased with my cell phone those are the only problems I had but I fixed it sooo overall I'm happy

Summary: An amazing mobile phone!
Review: I have just recently started using all of the features of this phone. I was tempted to get one after I saw my friend's V300 with T-Mobile. I have AT&T Service and this phone was only unlocked to Cingular Wireless so when i bought it (second hand) it had to be unlocked by a 3rd party company for $25. Other than that, this phone has been amazing. The data cable is great for getting MP3 ringtones, keeping up with my Outlook data and also sending pictures I take to my computer. All of the memory on this phone is great for storing pictures (the camera has great quality) as well as MP3 files, contacts and Microsoft Outlook calandar data. I highly reccomend this phone!

Review: i like this phone a lot. very easy to use. camera feature works solidly. lots of personalization/customization. speakerphone too! also comes with prince of persia, one of the best looking mobile games ive ever seen. the outside screen lights up with a super spiffy neon blue color. the only wacky thing about this phone is about once every few weeks the screen starts acting up. but i just simply turn it off and turn it back on, and its good to go.

Summary: Cool, little phone
Review: I love, love, love this phone. I've only been with Cingular for a week but its service in Alabama is above par in m opinion. I just left T-mobile after a year and a crappy phone (SE T300). To me, Cingular and T-Mobile are pretty close as far as service goes, but Cingular goes a step above with free mobile to mobile and rollover minutes. Now on to the phone: Pros:
Comfortable to hold (Not to big, but not to small)
Beautiful large display (65000+ colors)
Loud MP3/Midi Ringtones
Fast Web Access
Downloadable Games
Decent Camera w/ easy access!
Clear External Display
SPEAKERPHONE!!
Reasonable price (Free!) for such features
Subdued (though beautiful) look Like all phones, there are a couple of things that stand for improvment: --comes with few ringtones (4 MP3, and a handful of basic polyphonic tones)
--the battery doesnt last too long (after extensive use, lasted for 1 day)
--polyphonic rings a little on the soft side
--speakerphone can only be activated after a call is connected. Overall I'm very happy with this phone, and with the ability to take pictures that are actually viewable on the screen, download new MP3 tones, games, and wallpaper, its the almost perfect phone for me. If you don't need bluetooth (MOTO V600) then GET THIS PHONE! :) It's awesome! Actual Rating: 4.45 stars

Summary: Good graphics, lousy phone
Review: I share the concerns of others with this phone. I was very impressed with the picture screen. It has vivid color and clarity, although it is worthless in bright light conditions. It is also an attracive phone on the surface. But, that's where it ends. The phone starts up very slowly when going through its initial diagnostics. The response time for the function buttons is also quite slow, even when dialing a phone number. The side buttons are an absolute embarrasment when they go off in your pants or jacket. They are also very useless. The ringer is not loud enough. The outside plastic lense covering the clock easily scratches if you get the phone near change or keys in your pocket. Even blue jean material will scratch it easily. The picture screen also scratches easy and always holds your facial oils. Finally, the function buttons are poorly lit to be useful in dark conditions.
Unfortunately, I ignored the naysayers on this phone when deciding to go ahead and purchase it. They were right and I was wrong. My friends and family made much better choices and I can't wait to replace this disaster. Motorola: please listen to your customers or you won't have any.

Summary: Overall Good Phone
Review: I've had the phone for almost a year, and it's not bad at all. The camera works well, and all the features are great. However, my biggest complaint (and why I'm in the market for a new phone) is the volume! The volume of the ringwer (even on loud) and especailly the volume of the speaker during the calls is HORRIBLE. It's really hard to hear people you're speaking to and hearing incoming calls. The speaker phone works wonders for this..except calls you don't want broadcast to everyone, and you can't connect the speaker until after the call's been connected. So overall not a bad phone, but I've gotten to the point where I can't deal with it. Hope this helped.
