I am a new customer to TMobile. I have a choice of the three phones mentioned above. Which phone has the best signal strength and sound quality while making a call?

It's just generally a good idea to avoid Motorolas. 😉

Well, motorolas have a bad rap. That doesn't mean that ALL of them are bad. True, a lot of people including myself have had bad experiences with them, but there have also been good experiences with them as well. Newer software versions have AMR, (allows for better voice qualify in weaker signal areas and is supposed to hold calls better, too)thus improving call quality and range. All 3 models are equipped.

V300: I still have my reserves, but have noticed a decline in calls regarding problems with that handset. I don't know if it's because there's just more out there now and people are getting other phones, or if through exchanges or software upgrades more problems than not have been fixed.

V600: I have always sort-of liked this phone....

I use the V600: it holds signal very well, does not drop call in weak areas and the voice clarity is superb. Motorolas are famous for their rich deep sound as opposed to Nokias which have a thin high treble sound. I don't like the way Motorolas sign on and off with their signature music!

In regards to rich sound and clarity, I've always been impressed by Samsungs. As for the signature music...isn't there a way to disable that?

The key here, then...is to never turn your phone off or on! Brilliant!

E315: It's small, it's cute...but it's touchy. Some love it, some hate it...I've noticed there's really no middle ground. The handset does have a tendancy to echo in your ear if the volume is turned all the way up...the fix: turn the volume down at least one knotch (not the ringer volume the earpiece volume). Some other complaints are the blinking service light. (it will light up a dark room), the outer lcd light will not light up on command (to check the time etc...). The other big one, and I really don't know how valid this complaint is. I've heard it from one customer and several employees...but compared to how many peope actually have the phone? It may just be a fluke and they got a lemon...When tr

My opinions on those 3 phones...
The V300 is an absolute piece of $h!t.
The V600 when I used it for a wk seemed like a pretty rockin phone. No issues with it except that with Motos all of the function keys are on the opposite side of every other manufacturer.
The E315-I own. I like it...signal seems a bit more touchy than my old V205. Featurewise-love it. Outside caller ID screen-hifi tones-video camera-still camera. All of it rocks. The only problem I've run into consistently is that some others hear echo. My wife hears it and one of my other friends.
If you get one of them go with the V600 but think about the E315.

What about the Sharp 150? Is the sound quality and signal reception as good as the internal lcd screen? I tried a V300 in a local store was not impressed with it at all. I have not been able to find any place that has the V600 instock. Looks like I may have to choose between the Sharp 150 and Samsung E315.

Yes! I have used the Sharp phone before and I was very impressed! The phone performed well beyond expectations....the only thing about the Sharp is that the menu's are a bit hard to navigate until you get used to it, and you're trading off a lot of extras you would normally get with the V600 like Bluetooth, Speakerphone, motomixer etc...but you do get megapixel camera, and remove...
