Motorola makes sh!t phones!!!

[GTaudiophile]

So about two weeks ago, I buy a new phone through T-Mobile, a Motorola V330. My trusty 2-year-old Sony Ericsson T610 was showing signs of wear and tear. (The vibrate function was hit or miss and the joystick was no longer 100% responsive.) So tonight I try to call the GF. I must have tried 20 times, both with as little as 2 bars and as many as all 5, and after 20 seconds, I would get "call failed". And many times, after a failed call, the phone would crash and reboot if a second call attempt was made immediately after.

Jeebus, I almost threw the damned thing against the wall several times tonight! I guess the moral of the story is that a brand-new Motorola phone is sh!t compared to a 2yo Sony Ericsson!

This thing is going back to T-Mobile. In the mean time, i stuck the SIM card back into the T610, plugged it into the charger, turned it on, and now I'm back in business!

:Q

And I was thinking about getting the V330 too...(mostly for its EDGE capabilities, as I've read)

 

[Goosemaster]

NOTHING is worse than the t720.

period.

I've never had any issues with mine.

I'd blame it on that model (or that carrier) before I'd blame it on Motorola. Their Nextel line is second to none, as far as quality goes.

i love my v300...glad im got it before this 330 model came out

Since TMO no longer sells Sony Ericsson phones, would it be possible just to buy a new, unlocked one and install the SIM card?

Yeah, that should work.

Hopefully it's just your network or something and not the phone itself that's having problems :laugh:

One of my co-workers just got a RAZR and it runs the same OS as the V330. They only look different from the outside.

i never had a problem with any of my motorolas in the past. my first was the microtac elite, then a startac, and my last was a v60c.

Not really used and cheap but still a great deal.

CostCo B&M has a brand new Motorola V330 for $119 after $50 rebate with FREE Motorola HS820 bluetooth headset.

I :heart: my RAZR

Not bad. Unfortunately I don't think we have a CostCo around here (and I'm not a member anyway).

Why didn't you get a smartphone?

T-Mobile sucks, not the phone FOO. My thoughts :^Þ.

Motorola phones are the best IMO. My V551 is not much different from that 330 and I'm w/Cingular. It's been tops.

One thing to note, I do notice that phones with a camera are generally worse when it comes to signal. I'm dyin for a razor!!

I just bought a new phone, not a new provider. TMO has been great since I've been with them. Besides, they are my only option since I travel back and forth to Germany 2 or 3 times a year on business.

While travelling in Germany where do you buy an international SIM card from and how much is it?
