Amazon.com Product Description

The V300 is a tough act to follow, but Motorola has a winner on their hands with their V300 successor, the V330. With welcome additions like Bluetooth, quad-band GSM and high-speed EDGE data capability, and a VGA camera with video capture, the V330 packs a powerful new punch.

Take a closer look at the V330's functions. You can also see it in action.
Design
The V330 features a sleek clamshell design with a large, high-resolution 176 x 220 pixel, 65,000 color screen. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 32 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. A USB-capable data port is housed on the unit's top edge, and there's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets.

Calling Features
The V330 supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. You can also assign pictures and ringers to your most common callers. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-zones service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to mix your own ringtones.

Speed dialing, which allows you to call pre-programmed numbers with one button is built in, as is a vibrating alert. A speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The V330's phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts; if you have that many friends and colleagues, more power to ya'! Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The V330 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support for AOL Instant Messenger (T-Mobile messaging charges apply), and there's also a built-in web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.

The V330 comes with a built-in email client (with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 email standards), and traditional text messaging, as well as video, picture and sound messaging are also supported. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V330 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar and an alarm clock. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage, the V330 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera features a 4x digital zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The V330 adds video capability, too, meaning you can capture short video clips and, just like photos, share them how you see fit. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.

If you're into mobile gaming, the V330 has you covered. The phone ships with a full version of Pinball, as well as trial versions of Bejeweled and NFL 2005.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola V330 weighs 4.3 ounces and measures 3.5 x 1.9 x 1 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 425 minutes of digital talk time, and up to 235 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Be cautious with amazon.com rebate!.......2006-11-07

I bought this phone in June 2006 with a 150$ rebate, but I still did not receive the rebate by Nov 7, 2006, called them tons of times, The reply is "Please wait another 6-8 weeks to get the rebate", so be cautious about the rebate when oreder a 1 cent cell phone.

IF ANYONE CAN HELP?.......2006-07-26

I bought two of these phones for my wife and myself. She was the smarter of the two of us and went back to her old Nokia phone after a few weeks. I had to prove I didn't make a mistake so I kept using it, much to my frustration.

It constantly needs to be rebooted to access the network, especially after being plugged in to the car charger. If it's plugged in, no one can reach me as it goes immediately to voicemail, and will not notify until after rebooting.

I wish I had followed my wife's lead and given up on this POS earlier.

Have never before had such a poor experience with a single piece of electronic equipment. Returned the first one after 6 months as screen went dead. The replacement phone from T-mobile the screen failed again after two months, and the 2nd replacement refused to charge after about a month. I threw in the towel and accepted a replacement of a different model phone.
I'm going back to Nokia with whom I've had far better experience in the last 10 years. No more Motorola for me.

Not that bad of a phone.......2006-06-30

I have used tons of motorola phones over the years from the v120 to the v330. The v330 does have a couple problems with it well at least for me it did. After a couple months I had problems using the chargers. I switched out 4 chargers, and each one would work good for a couple weeks, then you would have to fiddle with them to charge the phone.

One thing they didn't mention the review though, is the ability to listen to the radio on the phone. Thing is you need to buy a special headset, I haven't got the headset myself t-mobile wanted $50 for it. But my overall review of the phone is if you have the chance pass on this one. There's alot more models out, and ones that have less bugs then this phone has.

Subpar.......2006-06-26

I've had phones with three companies now, and the two phones that I've owned from Motorola (V300 & V330) have been pretty poor experiences. With the upgraded technology, I figured any bugs from the 300 would have faded away, but instead, I've found those bugs plus a couple of others.

Someone mentioned charging problems. This is definitely the case. I have to sit there and fiddle with the phone for five minutes just to get it to charge. I'll get "Unable to Charge" over and over and finally I'll hit that sweet spot. It is at that point when I must set the phone down very softly so as not to disrupt the fragile nature of the phone.

The other problem I've had has been the bars disappearing. I'll be walking to my car and all of the sudden they'll just evaporate. I won't have a clue what happened. I'm not in a dead zone because I've talked to someone in the exact same spot before.

I haven't been extremely happy with the phone.
