Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Good battery life,
Very good speakerphone performance

Cons: I liked the Motorola V330. But I wouldn't recommend it to hard hearing readers.

Summary: The Motorola v330 weighs .3 oz, which is not very light . It has a good quality built-in speakerphone and a camera (640 x 480 pixels). The battery life is above average. Ringtone and graphics customization is great with download by wireless internet for free. The only problem is the volume in ear phones when i use bluetooth

Great Starter Phone

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: Dan Rice on Thursday, August 24, 2006
From: Maplewood, MN (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: Stylish. Bluetooth. Slick Keypad. Camera is nice.

Cons: Sometimes camera distorts the images. When I shut mine, it leaves scratch marks on the display.

Summary: This is a great phone to start with when you get new service. I have T-Mobile and it works very well. The sound is good, the speakerphone works well, and the camera takes fine pictures. The keypad is a step up from the oblong shapes of the keys on the V300. Overall, I would recommend this phone if your looking for a flip phone.

From: Osceola, IA (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: Nice style, great texture

Cons: Does weird white screen, keys

Summary: I got the phone in December of '05 and had it until July '06. In that time I experienced some awesome things and some horrible things. Goods: The phone had great features, good games, good camera, bluetooth.. And more. Bads: Phone occasionally did something to where it would almost shut itself off whenever it wanted, it would be completely black and in almost dead mode and had to turn it back on and wait like 5 minutes for it to go past a pure white screen. They keys are horrible, they are good for feeling around but whenever the screen is closed and they rub on the screen you get 3-4 scratches on both sides of the screen, not little ones either. All in all.. I really don't think it was worth what I payed for it.

Motorola V330 - I Give Up

Overall Rating:
3.7 out of 5
By: Susan Bellonzi on Monday, June 12, 2006
From: Capistrano Beach, CA (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: Loved the size, style, and the navy & silver color. The surface texture kept it from sliding off the car seat and my lap. Keypad has raised numbers, so I could dial by touch. Best of all, figuring out how to get the 330 to do what I wanted was intuitive and easy.

Cons: It just keeps malfunctioning.

Summary: I really wanted to like this phone.

Sent the first one back to the manufacturer, but the second was no better. After a year of having to wait for the screen to light up, very faint reception, and static in areas where no one else has a problem, I gave up. When I went to buy a new phone, the rep told me the 330 had been a lemon with lots of problems, and had finally been recalled. I never got any notice to that effect, but I don't need a paper to tell me the phone is more trouble than it's worth.

Great Highend Phone!

By: David Talls on Monday, January 16, 2006
From: Riverton, IL (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: The v330 is easy to use, has great call quality, durable, fashionable, and is loaded when it comes to features. I really do enjoy having the camera and it takes great pictures. I am able to store a lot of pictures and videos with no problems. (I am at 40 photos and a couple videos and still have half of the memory available!)

Cons: NONE

Summary: In the past I have always gotten just the basic "Free" phone when setting up my cellular phone service. I really didn't care about features or a camera, until I decided to try this phone. I am so glad that I made the switch because the v330 is great.
