I recently switched wireless phone companies because I had been having some issues with my old provider, and because the ability to port numbers over to other carriers became available. As such, I was forced to purchase a cell phone that would be compatable with the service of my new company, T-Mobile. After researching tons of different cell phone brands online (Samsung, Nokia, etc.), I finally decided upon the Motorola V300 . . . and boy am I glad that I did.This phone is fantastic, and offers some of the lastest technological advances in wireless devices. A few of it's best features include:1. Full color LCD screen2. Illuminated, external caller ID and clock (perfect for movietheatres)3. Plastic-coated, scratch-resistant exterior4. Voice activated dialing5. Hands-free speaker phone6. Digital camera7. Text messaging with iTap option8. AOL instant messaging9. Internet accessabilityand,10. download capability for lots of different wallpaper andringtones from off of T-Mobile's web site.Additionally, the V300 offers many little extras, making it all the better. With this phone, one is able to customize screen color (i.e., can choose to have background teal, orange, yellow, etc.), the placement of options within the phone (e.g., icons can be hidden or exposed; messages can be accessed from top, bottom, right, or left of key pad depending upon preference; etc.), and the arrangement of names in the phonebook (i.e., can be either alphabatized or chronologically listed). Plus, the V300 comes with an alarm-activated datebook and a few demo games as well. The Motorola guide manuel says that you are supposed to be able to download the full versions of the included games (along with select others) from T-Mobile's web site, although this option dosen't actually exist. Big deal though; all of the demo games have enough levels anyhow, and that deficiency is the only shortcoming of this phone. Everything else about the V300 is great, and I certainly wouldn't suggest that one snub it because of it's inability to obtain games via the internet unless he or she is a hard-core player.Furthermore, the V300 is cute and compact, and it comes in a sharp blue/silver color (which is paramount if you value size and appearance). In short, it is my opinion that this phone is definately worth the money; invest in buying it over some of the other brands, and I promise you that you won't be disapointed.
