I love it. It is a 2005 year model. That is fine with me. Everything works. It isn't too light weight or too heavy. Really just the right weight. I love a bargain.

You can use the speakerphone with the phone shut, the phone had almost an unlimited amount of space on it. This phone for its generation was one worth having. It had that sleek design, and the cool tones-some of which you would've thought you was at the club once you've heard some of them. It took good pictures.<br /><br />CONS: Seeing that this phone came from T-Mobile, I found out that the phone was free online after the first few months I had it. I was swearing like a sailor BIG TIME when I found that out. I worked off the waterfront, and I couldn't keep a call for anything. This phone wasn't very durable, and after having other problems with the phone, I decided to go back to Verizon after a two-year absence from them, and haven't looked back ever since.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=18643#review18643 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=18643#review18643 Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:11:55 GMT <p><i>sapnalona submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Both of my parents own these phones and they love it. When I saw it, I wanted one too, but of course my contract wasn't over yet. <br /><br />Straight to the point:<br /><br />-Loud ringer, speaker, and phone volume.<br /><br />-Clear call on both sides.<br /><br />-Good reception better than my samsung d415.<br /><br />-Easy text messaging. <br /><br />-Camera good quality, not the best, but decent enough. Remember it's not a digital camera. <br /><br />So far, it has been a year and these phones are still working good!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=18351#review18351 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=18351#review18351 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 06:11:13 GMT <p><i>jgisbo007 submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone was awesome for 2 years.

Overall in the beginning it performed very well for about 2-3 months then it broke down. It wouldn't hold a signal anymore, calls included echo and static, phone wasn't in general performing anymore. Camera became degraded over time becoming fuzzy and the pictures were coming out very pix-elated. Overall it is a below average phone after it gets used for a little bit.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Good design<br />Camera Good (In the beginning)<br />Internet<br />Durable<br /><br />Cons:<br />Poor reception<br />Camera (after 2 months of use)<br />Call quality<br />No Bluetooth</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=17723#review17723 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=17723#review17723 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 18:27:37 GMT <p><i>keri578 submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Absolutely LOVED this phone when I first got my hands on it.. a friend of mine gave me hers because my phone at the time had issues. Anyways, it was already two years old and still worked perfectly.. despite the beat up outside and such. Then I ordered my own off ebay that was 5 months old and have had equal amounts of pros and cons.<br /><br />PROS: <br /><br />RINGTONES!! Very clear and hi-fi ringers are a must for this phone.. definitely worth the two bucks for the tones. <br /><br />Bright, colorful, large screen<br /><br />Easy to read and the setup is easy to understand<br /><br />Good camera and my storage space was never ending<br /><br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />don't twist the antenna. I'd twist it absent-mindedly and now the antenna falls out constantly and I've even lost it a few times. Then when you ask for a new one, the new one falls out too because you stripped the antenna hole from twisting it too much.<br /><br />The ear piece. I had it for maybe a month and the whole sound went out completely and I have to put it on speaker phone in order to hear the other person.<br /><br />When switching ringers it makes obnoxious bleeps on every ringer.. which is bad when your a high school student and its in your back pocket during class and you lean the wrong way in your seat. BLEEP! BLEEP! Phone gets confiscated.<br /><br />Semi-bulky.. I got used to it though<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Overall its a sweet phone.. but I'm not the only one who has had troubles with the ear piece so thats definitely something to watch out for. I went into T-Mobile to see if there was anything they could do and they snubbed me for buying it through ebay and not them. figures.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=16942#review16942 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=16942#review16942 Wed, 07 Jun 2006 04:12:51 GMT <p><i>jtee_nfl submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is great for the basic owner who just wants to talk and have just alittle fun with it......You can put mp3 ringtones on it with a data cable and phonetools....Plus it compresses the mp3 files when you tranfer them to your phone so I was able to put up to 27 mp3 ringtones of about 45 seconds long on it....the camera also has great quality.....the only thing more I could ask for i a newer version of this phone is more internal memory, memory card capable, and video recording.......other than that this phone id great......</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=16689#review16689 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=16689#review16689 Mon, 22 May 2006 18:52:31 GMT <p><i>ghettoboi109 submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Okay Ive had this phone for four months now.

The functions on the phone work fine and dandy, but after a lil bit the ear piece messes up and you can hardly here, or even gets to the point were you cant hear the other person. For a number of times i have had to carry on the conversations on speaker phone option. I hope its just this phone model because I want the Pebl but its a Motorola too, and I dont want to run into the same crap. Its a pain to send my phone off to get replace with a; most likely referbished phone, and end up with the EXACT same problem. This was my first with a Motorola phone, in the past i have always had Nokias and never had a problem. I give it a 1 star because it has games and an alarm clock, but the purpose of having a phone, to make calls, it doesnt even get a rateing. I just cant wait until my tax money comes in because the minute it does im getting another phone. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND this phone to anyone. Between two people we have gone threw about 5 or 6 phones, thats just rediculous</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=15804#review15804 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=15804#review15804 Fri, 24 Mar 2006 07:09:10 GMT <p><i>CarsCell submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Great phone when I first got it nearly a year ago.

You can lock out this feature, but then you're always having to input a code to change from loud to silent. Samsungs are much better in that you just hold down the # key to change ring modes. <br />This phone gets great signals everywhere, but it often connects partially. The other party picks up and nobody hears each other, but the phone says "connected", so you get used to having to hang up and redial a lot. It adds to your minutes too.<br />The camera feature is great for making phone wallpaper and even sending to my T-Mobile Web album, but the phone's processor is so slow you do a lot of waiting for it to catch up to your keystrokes while going through the menus.<br />I'll be replacing this phone soon with guess what? another Motorola! To me the loud speaker phone on Motorolas makes up for all the shortcomings, since I hate wearing earplugs and do most of my talking in the car.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=13714#review13714 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=13714#review13714 Mon, 12 Dec 2005 05:52:04 GMT <p><i>05civse submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had this phone for two years with no big problems.

Before this phone I had a Siemens CF62 (piece o' crap) and a Motorola V400 (another piece o' crap). The V400 has numerous issues with the software and the biggest problem was that the ear piece and Mic. stopped working from time to time. The CF62 turned off by itself in cold weather!!<br /><br />But the V300 has no problem whatsoever. It's a nicely built phone with all the featured you need in a high end phone. <br /><br />I don't understand why so many people complained about low ring volume. The phone has numerous high quality ring tones to choose from and the volume is good enough for me to hear it from the basement when my phone is upstairs in the other corner of the house. <br /><br />The ear piece volume is awesome. I can listen clearly even when the ear piece volume is 4 of 7 while I am driving.<br /><br />The camera works just great and if you use your camera phone just to capture rare moments, 5Mb of memory is not so bad. <br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />1. Aesthetics, looks gorgeous<br />2. Well built, no squeaky noise <br />3. The display is the brightest of all phones I have used<br />4. Includes all useful features such as<br /> -call timer <br /> -alarm clock (lets you set numerous alarms)<br /> -notepad<br /> -date book<br /> -Calculator<br />5.Excellent VGA camera with 3X optical zoom, you can actually take decent pics of your computer monitor to set as wallpaper<br />6. Picture caller ID<br />7. 35 Polyphonic ring tones<br />8. External display is bright and does not go blank when you open the clamshell.<br /><br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />1. If you change service provider or unlock the phone, the web browser does not work.<br /><br />I think that someone with a little bit more knowledge of the software installed, could fix this glitch quite easily.<br /><br />2. Lacks the video recorder, unlike V400, eventhough the end user memory is same in both phones.<br /><br />3. Call swap feature is either missing or hard to use. <br /><br /><br /><br />Summary: Higly recommended phone. It's definitley a good value for money.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=12331#review12331 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=357&r=12331#review12331 Tue, 04 Oct 2005 16:07:20 GMT <p><i>icainc submitted this review of the Motorola V300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I used this phone with T-Mobile service for roughly 2 years. Despite several cons, I grew quite attached to it.<br /><br /><br />PROS...<br /><br />- Fairly small for a camera phone.<br /><br />- Cover LCD displays time and caller ID in a cool blue font.<br /><br />- Outer blue rubber looks and feels smooth and provides extra protection.<br /><br />- Speaker phone comes in handy while driving or waiting on hold. No one I spoke to complained while I was using this feature.<br /><br />- Megatones sound awesome on this phone! Best Ghostbuster's ringtone EVER!!<br /><br />- Menu is easy to learn and navigate.<br /><br />- Inner LCD has an adjustable brightness level so it's easy to see.<br /><br />- Was able to make a call in the back of a bar as well as on some random road in BFE, Oklahoma.<br /><br /><br />CONS...<br /><br />- Number buttons are too small and difficult to push. Don't know why Motorola didn't make them bigger seeing how there is plenty of unused space between them.<br /><br />- Average battery life. I had to get in the habit of recharging it every other night.<br /><br />- Camera takes awful pictures.<br /><br />- Weak vibration function and soft ringer compared to other phones.<br /><br />- Overall, the reception could've been better, but isn't that the case with every phone and service? My biggest complaint, and this could've been T-Mobile's fault not the phone's, was that no conversation lasted longer than 20 minutes before the call was dropped.<br /><br /><br />After two years, this phone is still in excellent working condition (even dropped it a few times). I would most likely still be using it if I hadn't switched carriers.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=357
