kombolcha Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 (edited) Price: @ time of purchase $250 (Y)'s It's a motorola over 2.5 hours talk time and 5 days standby (battery) color display slim design goog signal strength (yes! phone brands also vary in signal strength, not just your provider) store multiple numbers for same person, email address, set different ringertones, and up to 6 voice dials. voice dials, and email storage only when you store to the phone. and extra storage available on the SIM card. (depending on your provider) (N)'s the menu is a little on the slow side so you can't press the buttons too fast. and it's not the loudest ringer compared to other cell phones that will burst your ear drums. Other: This is an excellent phone because for one, it's a Motorola secondly you can do a lot with this phone you can't do with the other phones like sanyo and samsung. you can buy a USB datacable for it. there are plenty of software for it. where you can synchronize your phone w/ the computer and update txt messages or your phone book. other software lets you delete those stupid pictures and ringers that come with the phone so you can save some more space and upload your own polyphonic ringtones or pictures. and if you know how you can upgrade the firmware yourself and edit the features that dont show up in the phone settings menu. plus it's data ready truesync ready browswer ready MP3 ready and lastly you can change the faceplates and make it look like the original 720 phone or the brand new 730. EDIT.. you get a camera too. i forgot about it. edit.. here is the image quality for the camera. when taking a picture, it's a little slow in catching up with your movement, but i've never had an image blurry. also the image quality on the screen is bad, but once you email it or get it on your computer is pretty good - around 20kb the settings. yes, thats the highest res. you have a few options for the pictures Size: normal - like the i posted small - which is about half that size you can also adjust the low light settings to normal light which is the pic i posted and "low light" i've never tried that so i couldn't tell you what it's like. and for the last option is the light frequancy. the choices are 50hz and 60hz (60 is default) so, here is a random face guesture i made :) Edited April 28, 2004 by Vice King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyTwenty Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 where you can synchronize your phone w/ the computer and update txt messages or your phone book. How do you connect the phone w/ the computer or upload stuff? Those biatches from t-mobile try to make you pay $0.99 for a wallpaper or ring tone. I'm pretty sure I have the same exact phone, but I got it for free when I signed up with t-mobile for a year :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyTwenty Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Thanks, I found the drivers off of Motorola's website. Jesus, they were advertising the phone for $450 with the camera... Edit: Lol, they are charging $30 for the driver software. OMG these ******s are so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kak Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Why spend $250 on a phone that does not have a camera in it? The V400 is only $50 more and much better. Still, nice looking phone compared to my V60i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devila_C Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 just got v300 with t-mobile on amazon.com, for FREE :) comes with a camera too. I already got the data cable from ebay, waiting it to come so i can actually transfer the pics, instead of using those pictures messages. :p i think v300 is even better! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demorgoron Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 looks nice :yes: how much was with contract and from what provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kak Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 CellOne told me I had to pay $295 up front for a Motorola V400 and use their $50 MIR and Motorola's $30 MIR afterwards. I don't really like that practice. They get the phones in at mass wholesale price and are still price gouging their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombolcha Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 looks nice :yes: how much was with contract and from what provider? i already had a contract with T-mobile, but i wanted a new phone since i had a ****y samsung phone that was free when i first signed up. the guy took $50 off since i'm already an existing customer. the bad thing was they extended my contract another year. t-mobile is excellent, but they want to extend your contract w/ any changes you make, change your plan, they extend a year, change phones, they extend a year...

When I first got T-mobile, I told them that cell phones usually have trouble in my area. So the sales guy told me that I could use it for a week and bring it back with no charge if the service was not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
