Summary: "Bang for the Buck"
Review: The V300 is a good phone bang for the buck. The speakerphone is loud but not as loud as Nextel phones. The color screen looks really nice, much better than the Siemens and SonyEricsson ones. I'm not a big fan of the blue front and back, but it does help to hold the phone as a grip. The buttons in the inside look weird to me with rectangles and circles....What was Motorola thinking of?? lol...The camera seems pretty good, I mean it's a camera on a phone so I don't expect too much out of it. I can't believe Motorola never thought about answering a phone call with the flip closed. There is no way to answer a phone call while the flip being closed. Also another annoying thing is that you can't really turn the speakerphone on until the person you are calling picks up. I used to have Nextel, and I could call someone and hear the ring in the speakerphone. I live in Chicago where T-Mobile gets great service, and also the battery is OK. You can really run it down if you take too many pictures. I got the phone for free plus 50 dollars back from Amazon, and also it comes with a few European adaptors and a bulky carrying case. I'm a fan of Motorola phones, but there is still room for improvement. This phone does not feel cheap when you are holding it. It's not quite heavy or light. Just the perfect size and weight.
Thanks to a fellow Amazon member...I've been corrected, there is a way to answer phone calls with the flip closed..You hold the smart button for 2 seconds...THANK U SK....

Summary: What a Phone!
Review: This phone is great. The screen is spectacular. Downloadable games from sites like Gameloft.com are a great addition. The only downside is GSM. Unfortunately since GSM is still in its infancy it has nothing compared to the coverage of CDMA or TDMA but with no less than 3 roaming partners the coverage area will do nothing but grow. Still, if you live out in the middle of nowhere stick with the c/tdma.

Summary: da phone to have
Review: I have used nokia, samsung, ericcson and i think this one is the next BEST for a while. I like the ringtones (downloadable) (3gupload.com is a good free site) loud and clear, speakerphone is convenient, and the small phone size is good too. the camera is good for a phone, maybe nite pics are not as clear, but in good light u r getting some very good 640X480 pics. you can email multiple pics in 1 email, thats convenient.
color screen is sharp, much better than the T610 (which i have used) good in sunlight too. there are a few recommendations that i would like to see improved upon down the lane in future models. speakerphone without opening or without waiting until i hear the other person on the line.
for all u foreign travellers or ovrseas people, this phone comes with a plug adapter for asia and europe also. also comes with a nice matching color belt clip.
Overall, I give this phone 4.5 stars, based on my experience.

Summary: Great phone!.... when its on.
Review: I'm not gonna lie, the V300 is the best phone I ever used. It has ever great feature you could want (besides bluetooth). The problem is, the battery lasts less than a day. I just charged mine for 24 hours and got 17 hours of standby. I didnt even use the phone!!! T-mobile told me to take it up with Motorola so I expect to be without a phone for a month or two.

Summary: Great Phone
Review: This phone is great for several reasons:1) The color display is dazzling.
2) The polyphonic sound is dazzling.
3) It is nice and compact. The flip mechanism is very sturdy. I love flipping this phone open and shut.
4) The menus are customizable enough to make navigation fairly easy and intuitive. I especially like the fact that you can adjust the sound settings without opening up the phone (choose between Soft, Loud, Vibrate, Vibrate and Ring, or Silent). You can set additional details of each of these categories by going into the preference menus and adjusting ring tones and volume.
5) I like having the camera, which is fine to embed pictures with people in your phonebook. The speakerphone, however, is a REALLY nice feature to have. Once you dial the call and select speakerphone, you can close up the phone and continue talking -- that's nice. Cons: It only comes with 3 demos of games. You can get more, though (that's their slogan: "Get More").

Summary: Best Motorola I've ever owned
Review: This is by far the best Motorola phone I have ever had. It also tops the best cell phone I've had and over the past 13 years I have had seven phones. Setting up voice dialing was a little confusing, but once I did, it works like a charm (you have to make sure you assign the number to the local phone memory, not the SIM card). The screen is bright and crisp, and yes the camera doesn't take great pictures, it takes adequate pictures - if I want a good picture, I use my digital camera. Sound is magnificent. That was my biggest complaint with my last motorola, I had to have people shout to be able to hear them. The games are a little lame, especially since my favorite game "Bejeweled" is a DEMO - what's up with that?!!? All of my past equipment (my chargers both home and car) work with this new phone. It came with a home charger and a headphone and a new carry pouch which I'm not sure I like yet, but it does hold the phone in place and out of the way. This kept me from having to buy new equipment - which I was figuring out to cost me another $80 which I would have had to spend if I bought a different model. My other choice was the Ericson T-600 - but from everything I read and saw as far as reviews went, the V300 was the phone to pick. So far I haven't regretted my purchase. It's been a little over a month and the phone works great. I get about 3 days of stand by - even if I use the phone for an hour. If I don't use the phone, I've gone a week without having to recharge it. The deal Amazon has here with all of the rebates are great. I bought mine through Circuit City because Amazon wasn't carrying this phone yet. I got the phone for $30 when all was said and done and only had to sign a 1yr agreement. But with Amazon getting you $250 bucks back, it only costs -$50 (that's right - you MAKE $50 on the deal) - how can you resist?

Summary: If you are getting t-mobile, get this phone!
Review: I just went from Sprint to T-mobile. I replaced my Sanyo 8100 with a Motorola V300. So this is not my first picture phone.
The Motorola V300 is an amazing phone. For the price (-$50) on Amazon it can not be beat. I highly recommend this product.
Pro's
-------
1) The display is great. It is bright and crisp.
2) The User Interface is very straight forward and very easy to learn. This is my first Motorola phone since my Startac and unlike the Startac this is very easy to use. The Sanyo 8100 only has 9 speed dial locations. The V300 has 250. Much better!
3) The camera is very good for a phone. It will not replace my digital camera yet but it is does take a decent picture for sharing.
4) I really like the feel of the phone. The "rubberized" housing feels good in my hands.
5) The battery life is good. On par with my 8100 (maybe better).
6) The audio quality is amazing! So much better then my 8100.
7) The built in speaker phone works very well.
Con's
--------
1) Only available in Blue. Hard to tell my wife's and my phone apart. I need to open the flip and look at the wallpaper picture.
2) A little heavier than my 8100.
3) Wish it had blue-tooth built in. But that feature is only in the V500/600.

Summary: Good job Motorolla
Review: I just purchased this phone here in CO and am very happy with it. The most important thing is that it actually does it's job...as a PHONE. Sure it has cool stuff, but the reception is great, no dropped calls, and everyone hears everyone nice and clearly. My only quip is that the phone was packaged with the wrong battery, preventing me from putting the cover on. How many times does that happen??

Summary: motorola and batter life
Review: What I've used before: the motorola C331 - from cingular - and that was complite garbage. The C331's battery were low at the end of one day everyday; the talk time was no more than 30min RIGHT after the charge. V300 is a big improvement. After using the camera and talking for about 30 minutes the phone has lasted me about 2 days without re-charging - nothing close to the 200 some hours of stand by time it's supposed to have. The camera is GREAT! you can zoom in (and the zoom actually does something), change brightness, and let it take a picture on a timer. The phone also has A LOT of features which makes it a little overwhelming at first. The WORST thing about this phone (maybe other phones too?) is the GAMES there's only 1 level per game (3 games in total), and you have to pay to upgrade from the demo. Would it really cost all that much more to put in the whole game into the phone? The v300 also a little bulky, my C331 was thinner and lighter, but hey maybe that's why it sucked so much. Also the t-mobile support doesn't leave the caller on hold for eternities as did cingular. The transfer of phone numbers to t-mobile from cingular took just one day. T-mobile is the way to go.
