Summary: Free phone
Review: The phone was free after the rebates and well worth the money even for what I paid up front. It has an abundance of features, which you can find on web sites.The good:
- features, especially the speaker phone
- battery life, 4-5 days with about 200 minutes talk time, dozens of pictures, emails
- clear sound even if it is somewhat weak
- the look, well designed Not so good:
- somewhat weak sound at the highest volume, hard to hear the caller on the streets of New York. The speaker phone on the other hand is loud, go figure
- digital camera makes rather lousy pictures. Although it makes 640x480 24-bits pictures, it is only 300 pixels/inch. That makes the image look snowy, grainy, and generally not something you'd want to keep Do get the optional data-kit, including the MobilPhone Tools software. Most of the software features work with the V300, with the exception of the Calendar. I didn't get this phone for the digital camera features, nor should you. As a phone, it is great, if that's what your looking for.

Summary: A wonderful phone - especially with Motorola data kit
Review: This is an amazing phone with everything in it - dual screen, clear reception, loud speaker phone, buautiful color screen, easy-to-hold and durable soft shell, photo phonebook, and tons of thoughtful functionalities. For example, you can switch between loud ring to vibrate or silent mode by pressing couple outside buttons without opening the shell. It takes only one button to turn it into a (very clear) speaker phone, with the highest speech quality. The text key-in method is really intelligent and effortless. Even more, if you have the Motorola mobile phone data kit and the USB data cable, you can easily sync your phonebook between your phone and PC. Not only phonebook, you can load your favorite pictures (in JPG or GIF format) and music (in MP3 format) into your phone and use them as wallpaper or ringtone. You can compose your own ringtone as well. You can also use your phone as a modem for your laptop. The best thing is that every accessory that works for T720 works for this phone too, so you don't need to spend more money if you already have them. You will need to upgrade your data kit software for V300 though (it's free). This phone is definitely an art of modern technology and I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Good & Bad
Review: I love this phone, all of its features. I haven't had any problems with it. However, i have only had mine for about 2 1/2 mths and the silver paint is chipping off of it everywhere. Which I would understand if I beat the heck out of it. However, it sits at home or in a lined pocket and hardly gets any use !!!! Still fighting with T-Mobile for them to replace it. Its only a minor annoyance, the phone works fine, but that still shouldn't happen after a couple of mths.

Summary: Phone with good features
Review: My previous phone- T68i started to annoy me by its
poor reception and a very recent problem of connecting after
1 year of use. My goal was to purchase a simple flip phone with
good reception. I got this phone from Amazon with T-mobile.
I've read many reviews about this phone before I bought it
It's a nice phone but it's not really 'my' perfect one.
I'll just briefly give what I like and not like about this phone. The reception - Not much better than my T68i which is
notorious for its poor reception; not as good as
my roommate's (panasonic Gu87 with AT&T)I am not sure if
it's the place I am living in or the phone is just
not as good. The Look - well...I found it normal. I am worried
that the cover won't be easy to be maintained clean though.
When the phone is open, it looks like a toy to me. Photo organizer - Though I have my own digicam,
I do like the way they display and organize the photos.
(I actually love GU87 if not for this very important
feature- I had to open/view each photo to pick the one,
remember by heart the 'filename' and then go to another
directory to change the wallpaper or caller's photo) Speakers- it's really good. I can talk with the phone on my
lap. The thing I hate most - well, I admit it's very stupid
and perhaps no one will find it a problem. but i just hate it.
It's the "arrow buttons" which hurt my fingers a lot. I haven't yet discovered everything about this phone.
Overall, I can't deny that it's a good phone.
But it would be perfect if its features are kept with the exterior design of GU87.

Summary: Awesome phone, especially after you get a data cable!
Review: This is just an incredible phone. I got it through Amazon with T-Mobile's service. I will try to go into this phone with as extensively as I can, based on my personal use. First about the phone. As a company, Motorola has been in the wireless business for a long time. Before they had cellphones, they had pagers. Before that, walkie-talkies. They know what a good phone should be, and they've definately shown that here. Their flagship V60 series was king of the cellphones for a while, but then it lagged behind other companies for a long time when they came out with color phones with competitive features. Their T720 series didn't do so hot. Motorola really is coming back, though, with the V600 line of products (this includes the V300, sister to the V600). The V300 is special in this series since it is the only one with an uniquely soft cover that feels great to the touch. Filled with an appealing combination of features (I'll list them below), the V300 (especially through Amazon) is really an unbelievable phone for the money. After I received the phone and absolutely loved it, I was quick to purchase a data cable for very cheap (including overcharged shipping prices) on eBay. With the help of Howard Forums (do a search on Google, you'll find them) I was able to find free wallpapers, ringtones, and games and transfer them from my computer to my phone FREE via the data cable. The same goes for downloading pictures I took to my computer. This made my phone, not only the envy of my friends, but also my favorite little toy since my digital camera purchase. :) Features I love:
- Soft cover, comfortable to hold
- Great call quality
- Big and high-resolution screen (better than most out there)
- Screen supports alpha blending (transparency)
- SEVEN customizable buttons
- Improved phonebook with multiple viewing options
- Quality ringtones, both MIDI and MP3 (Dido's "Thank You" MP3 for my ring? Heck yeah!
- Huge 5 MB shared storage between pictures, rings, and games
- Best speakerphone I've ever used on a wireless phone
- Improved alarm clock system (set up to 5 different alarms, with the ring of your choice!)
- Good battery life (but I also recommend getting a car charger if you're on the road a lot)
- Speed dialing
- Improved iTAP predictive text feature for easy text entry
- Sort phonebooks entries, ringtones, pictures and wallpapers into distinct categories
- Ringer ID (different rings for different people/groups)
- Switching ring styles (loud, vibrate, silent, etc) without having to open phone
- Useful, uniquely blue outer display
- View minutes and text usage online with T-Mobile
- With data cable: free wallpaper, ringtone, and games transfer
- With data cable: free pictures download from phone to PC Features neutral to me, but still cool to have:
- Better-than-average VGA-level camera
- Picture ID (Assign a picture to display when a certain friend calls)
- Useful calendar with month-view and week-view
- Easy to use calculator
- AOL Instant Messenger client built-in (uses text messages)
- Voice dialing
- Voice memo
- Tri-band world phone
- Potentially free HTML browsing with WebViewer software from ReqWireless (since T-Mobile gives you free basic WAP service), or some other third-party HTML browser Features I didn't like, or wish it had:
- Sometimes phone seems a little slow, but this is just minor nip-picking
- Wish it had Bluetooth or infrared
- Better phonebook search system (can only search by first letter of name)
- Wish it had an integrated flash for the camera
- Antenna stub (I prefer internal antennas) Arguable features, depending on personal preference:
- Color of the phone
- Size of the phone (3.50" x 1.93" x 0.98" / 89mm x 49mm x 25mm)
- Weight of the phone (4.30 oz / 122g)
- Unique alternating keypad button shapes
- Built-in ringtones (not bad, but could be better in my opinion)
- Menu system (I think it's great, but some don't) As you can see, as far as my usage is concerned, this phone is pretty much perfect, deserving its full five stars. Next, since you'll probably be purchasing this phone with T-Mobile's service, let me tell you about T-Mobile. I came from a respectable local company called SureWest that offered me unlimited California calling, but no roaming outside of the great Sacramento area. Now I am on T-Mobile's 3000 minute local plan for $50 a month, which allows me to roam and call California and Nevada cheaper than what I was paying with SureWest. I love it! I also used to be a Verizon Wireless store manager, and although they are nationally number one in quality, they are relatively expensive minutes-wise compared to T-Mobile. I can tell you that T-Mobile also has very good in customer service. See for yourself: just give 1-800-T-MOBILE a call, 24-hours a day, if you have questions about their service, even before you buy the phone. I've called a billion times with questions before and after I got the phone, and I've got to say, they are the most courteous telephone customer service agents I have ever talked with. EVER. Not just in the wireless business. As far as call quality goes, mine is EXCELLENT. I live Davis, just outside of Sacramento. Only one dropped call this month, and I am pretty sure it was from the other end of the line. However, with my experience in the wireless field, I recommend going out and checking out T-Mobile's quality IN YOUR AREA before you buy. If you have a friend with T-Mobile, borrow the phone for a while and test out the service. If not, go to a store and test out a T-Mobile phone. A nationally top-ranked service and a phone with great call-quality potential is useless if it does not work well in YOUR local area. I hope the extensive review helps you in choosing a phone and wireless plan, and remember, the best phone for you is not necessarily the one with the most features, but instead one with all the features you will actually use. :)

Summary: Awesome phone
Review: Excellent phone and very flexible too. I got my V300 late January and right away I went online and found a new Motorola V600 firmware and reprogrammed my V300 with it. Since they have similar hardware (with the exception of bluetooth, quad-band, and ringlights), my V300 now has video playback, POP email, unlocked browser settings, etc. Beautiful large screen, MP3 ringtones are very cool, and sleek design. I'm still infatuated with this phone. Highly recommended!

Summary: Big improvement!
Review: I originally purchased the Motorolla V66 (which was terrible)when I switched to T-mobile. I had poor reception, so switched to this phone a few days ago. So far I am very pleased. It gets good reception even though I live in the boondocks, the feautures are mostly easy to use, and it's fun! I'm a sucker for gadgets, and the games keep me occupied during lectures. I am also very pleased with T-mobile's service so far. I especially like that one can change the ring style without flipping open the phone.

Summary: The best phone ever
Review: Motorola V300 is an excellent cell phone on the current GSM market. It has a distinguishable sporty body design with soft metal. The color screen is big, vivid, and beautiful. The speech quality is perfect. I never hear any background noise when I use this phone. Even the built-in speaker provides very high speech quality. The ring tone is unbelievable, just like real music. It's very eay to enter data into this phone with Motorola's intelligent key-in method and efficient phone book organizer. The user interface is very friendly and intuitive. The built-in camera is easy to use and it's always fun to take pictures and share them with my friends via picture messages. So far I don't have any complaint about this phone. I just simply love it.
