My Cingular Samsung x427 (I think) died on me, so I decided to go prepaid. I found the best deal for my needs would be T-Mobile. I decided to spend a little extra and get a phone with camera and bluetooth.
The phone may seem a little bulky, but I prefer a more "solid" phone. It feels strong enough to last for quite a while, and fits well in my big, hairy man hands.
The best thing about this phone is the sound quality. Both the speaker and the microphone are excellent. It sounds like you are talking on a land line.
My favorite fun features are the voice recorder and camera. They have dedicated buttons and are easy to use without fumbling around. However in order to store a picture after you take it you have to click several menu buttons.
Bluetooth rocks. I don't have one of those ear pieces, but I use it with my bluetooth adapter to add Star Wars ring tones and synch my contacts.
Now, all I need is a new cover for it that makes it look like a communicator from Star Trek and it would be perfect!

The Motorola V330 is another great flip-phone in Motorola's lineup. By combining a solid feature set with sturdy construction and good looks, the V330 is sure to satisfy. This phone is offered by T-mobile, and incorporates some of the most sought-after features while maintaining an affordable price (free with some plans). Here's the rundown:
Reception: 8/10 - In most cases, the V330 will provide strong reception and static-free calls. The transition between cells can be rough though, and I have dropped more than a couple of calls in the transition.
Connectivity: 9/10 - The V330 provides Bluetooth compatibility as well as a connection for USB (cable not included). Motorola Phone Tools will work with the V330 for backups, synchronizing, and transferring images and ringtones.
Construction: 10/10 - This phone is a tank. It's very solid, sturdy, and much of the shell is covered with a rubberized texture. This texture could help prevent dropping the phone by providing more grip, but it also gives the phone a solid feel. It seems to be well applied, showing no signs of wear in the 6 months I've owned the phone. There is no play in the hinge, and the keypad has individual buttons that are solidly mounted and feel good when you press them. Dialing by feel is no problem.
Speakerphone: 9/10 - Motorola typically has good speakerphone quality in their phones, and the V330 is no exception. The volume can be turned up loud enough to handle most situations, and the microphone picks up your voice without having to hold the phone close to your mouth. Leave the V330 on the table and talk normally, the caller on the other end will hear you. The handset volume is also very sufficient, and provides excellent call quality.
Menus: 9/10 - The V330 uses the current Motorola OS and menu system, which is one of the best on the market in my opinion. It's very intuitive, and most functions can be learned without opening the manual. The menus can be a little slow in certain functions, but the OS is stable and has never hung or crashed on me in the 6 months I've owned the V330.
Other features worth mentioning: The camera provides fairly good resolution, but nothing great. It's good for messaging, not much else. The phone comes with a couple of demos, but will run most J2 applications. The V330 also has Motorola's "Moto-Mixer", an application for mixing your own music with some provided MIDI tracks. The included wired hands-free headset has excellent sound quality. The V330 also features integrated voice-dialing, and a voice recorder for audio notes.
Overall, the V330 provides a solid list of features, outstanding call quality and sound, and a cool rubberized texture for good looks. There are phones out there that come with more features, but the V330 should satisfy the typical cell phone user at an affordable price.

Upgraded my (very) old Nokia 3390 to the new Motorola V330. Have had it for a week, and am sadly disappointed in the quality of the calls. The phone itself is nicely made (love the rubberized coating) and appears quite sturdy. The keyboard is easy to use and the programing is pretty simple (although the manual leaves much to be desired!) However, after a week of poor sound quality on every call, I may have to try and trade it back. The speakerphone is fuzzy, the quality of sound using the earpiece is also very fuzzy, and using the regular handset the sound fades in and out so that you constantly have to repeat everything. As I also wanted a quad band phone for travel, there's not many T-mobile options out there, so I'm really bummed that this phone has done so poorly.

v330 with tmobile
I switched from sprint to tmobile in hopes of better reception in my home office. When i first got on the phone - everything worked great. I put my bluetooth headset in, walked downstairs - no dropped calls. Chatted for 1/2 hour with the phone laying on the floor of my concrete basement.. no dropped calls.
However, after the phone goes into "idle" i loose signal. Its like a power option that i cant seem to turn off. If it didnt do this, I would have the best phone in the world.
While I am on the line, i get 1/2 reception. Then when it idles for 30 min i get nothing.
So if reception is a key for you - avoid it. it's awesome when you're on the line though. So if you live in an area where you get fairly strong reception, then try it out.
I freaking love the bluetooth

Ok...so i just got this phone a few days ago and i found it to be a very wonderful phone ....i just came off the samsung e315 and i felt that this phone compared to that phone is not match the motorola has a better camera does not stretch the picture to make it look disorted looking the look is really cool the tzones is pretty fast and being able to download rigtones and wallpapers are awsome but just like in any phone there are some falls but just a couple....like in all the new phones that they have today they have picture caller id but in this phone there is picture id but it is very small and i wouldnt even count on it just stick with the normal id i guess and another fall in this phone is the video...its very poor and you can only record for like 10 seconds but the bluetooth capability is very good and i love it overall i would rate this phone a 9!

My wife and I got a pair of V330 phones 1 week ago on T-Mobile. We were replacing Samsung w/Cingular.
The phone is much nicer, more robust and easy to set up. I'm not sure I like music blasting in my ear while it's dialing but I can live with it. The manual does leave something to be desired. Sound is good in both directions.
I had a problem with my Bluetooth headset immediately and took it back. For some reason they also had to replace the phone with the Bluetooth device. The headset now works fine but reception at the other end sounds like I'm on a speaker phone. I would imagine that's because the mic is so far away from the mouth.
The other problem we're both experiencing is "Call Failed" on all outgoing calls from our house. Not a good place to have this happen - especially in an emergency. Driving around we find that we have no problems anywhere else in town - just in our sub-division. Funny thing is we can receive messages and calls with no problem at the house but can't dial out without getting Call Failed. We have called T-Mobile a couple of times and they can't seem to figure out what's wrong. They make very little effort. We did receive a message on our phone from them today that the problem was fixed - but of course, it wasn't - and still isn't
All in all, it looks like a better phone switch but a not so good service provider switch . . . . .
