Summary: Good phone; bad reception
Comment: Don't get this phone if you place or receive calls where there is a marginal signal. It won't work. Nokia is better. This isn't a recommendation for Nokia, though. I just don't have experience with other phone models. I wish there was an objective rating for sensitivity so buyers don't have to go through an expensive trial-and-error process to find one that's OK.

Summary: Great device
Comment: To me this is a great communication device,does what it needs to do and more.Wont go over all details since other people all ready wrote them.Great screen color,good mp3.pairs fast and good with my bluetooth.One thing I loved about it was that I didnt like much the ringtones that came with the phone.So all that needs to be done is,connect the phone to the pc with the usb cable down load whatever song to the memory card in the phone,then go to the sound menu,go to the song,hit in the menu switch to phone memory then apply as ringtone and walla,you got your favorite song as ringtone.Will recomend to any one that wants a phone and a device to play with.For the price can go wrong.

Summary: What doesn't this phone do?
Comment: I've only had mine for a few days now, but it's greatly exceeded my expectations.
I was a customer on Cingular, and had a SonyEriccson phone. I had a few dead spots that were driving me nuts on frequently travelled roads. Whether it was the switch in services, or the better reception of the phone, so far, it's very much improved.
As far as the phone goes, what's the clamor for the RAZR/PEBL/SLVR? (OK, they look really cool :)
The V360 has external storage via transflash (up to 512MB), plays mpg4 movies and music (apparently an accessory's needed for stereo: A 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack adapter, headphones like the Motorola SYN1301, or the bluetooth stereo headphones like the Motorla HT820), and otherwise seems to do everything that the RAZR does and then some.
I was looking at the V600 before this came out and a little envious of the CDMA E815 on Verizon, but I'm really glad I waited and did some more research.
The downsides I have so far:
As with many cell phones, the stock ringtones are unsuitable to me. I want something like a "traditional" ringing bell, and nothing on-board comes close.
The menus are just not so intuitive (to me at least). Maybe it's a function of all the features on board. Having gone from the most basic Nokia to a decent mid-range SonyEriccson to this Motorola, so far it's a PITA to get to things that were easily accessed before.
I'm more than a little concerned about how the interior display with its pretty chrome face will hold up to normal wear and tear, but I'm getting a V360 specific case, and bluetooth hands-free devices, so it may not matter too much.
As far as working as a phone, it's been great. The user interface stuff is minor in comparison, and takes off a half star, which rounds back up to 5 in my book. I'm sure by the time I figure out how to customize the menus and get used to the hands-free devices, I'll mind even less.
All that's left is to get a bluetooth adapter and software tools for my PC. It looks like the current crop of Motorola bluetooth accessories are v1.2 in case anyone's interested.
Additionally, for those looking for quad-band usage and overlooking this phone, the lack of the 4th band is apparently software-locked, not missing hardware. That will be worth some investigation.

Summary: Motorola V-series gets better
Comment: I had a Motorola V600 my wife bought me for Christmas, which was an abysmal phone and was not happy to see go when I lost it (save for all the data on my SIM card!). She eventually replaced her old Samsung with a V330 which I considered an excellent phone, but lacking pizazz. Well, once I lost my V600, I needed a new one and the V360 was the best one I could find. I've had it a little over a month now and love it.
It's compact and stylish. The external display is easy to read and more informative. The external buttons don't seem to be hypersensitive like they were on the V600, plus the phone doesn't make noise when I change ring styles with them. The layout is pure Motorola, which is to say excellent. The display is crisp and clean and the menus are easy to scroll through. The phone's sound is excellent.
What really sells it though is the MP3 player. I'm not normally a big fan of objects doing more than one thing, because they usually do none of them well, but here, the MP3 player is a complement to the phone, not competing with it. I find it useful when walking to work. The drawback is the tiny memory card the phone came with (64 Meg) and the lack of stereo headphones. I've also had trouble trying to sync music files to the card using the USB transfer cable, but fortunately it comes with an adapter that allows me to plug the memory card directly into a card reader so I can drag and drop songs onto it.
All-in-all, the V360 provides a lot of phone for a reasonable price. I can't wait to see how Motorola tries to top it.

Summary: If the phonebook were easier, It would get 5 stars
Comment: I LOVE this phone.
Camera, Video, MP3Player.
The sound is amazing. Upgradeable transflash card.
You can use your computer to drag and drop pictures and sounds to and from the phone. Making MP3 Ringtones a snap.
One problem. The phone book is a very big headache.
I'm going to try to get it worked out with T-Mobile, however that is the ONLY complaint I have with this phone. Because everything else on it is outstanding.

The wildly popular V330 is a tough act to follow, but the latest kid on the block, the V360, is a worthy successor, packed with features that make it the perfect complement to T-Mobile service. The V360 is smaller and lighter than the V330, plus it features a memory card slot for storing and playing music via an included music player application. You'll also get an internal antenna on this model, as well as a larger external screen-- two nice touches. Like the V330, this model also has Bluetooth, tri-band GSM compatibility, high-speed EDGE data, and a VGA camera with video capture. 
Take a closer look at the V360's functions. You can also see it in action. | Design
The V360 features a sleek clamshell design with a large, high-resolution 176 x 220 pixel, 262,000-color screen. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. A USB-capable data port is housed on the unit's right side, and there's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets (as well as a stereo headset for music listening). A microSD/TransFlash memory card slot is provided for data and music storage. Calling Features
The V360 supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. You can also assign pictures and ringers to your most common callers. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-zones service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to mix your own ringtones. Speed dialing, which allows you to call preprogrammed numbers with one button, is built in, as is a vibrating alert. A speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. The V360's phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts; if you have that many friends and colleagues, more power to ya! Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible. Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The V360 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support for instant messaging (T-Mobile messaging charges apply), and there's also a built-in Web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile Web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. And with support for EDGE data speeds, the V360 makes the mobile Internet experience fast and enjoyable. The V360 comes with a built-in e-mail client (with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 e-mail standards) and traditional text messaging, and video, picture, and sound messaging are also supported. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V360, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC. Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage and a memory expansion slot, the V360 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera features a 4x digital zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The V360 adds video capability, too, meaning you can capture short video clips and, just like photos, share them how you see fit. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy. The big news with the V360, though, is the built-in MP3 music player, which can queue up your favorite tracks from a memory card. Jam out to your tunes while you're on the go. And if you're into mobile gaming, the V360 has you covered. The phone ships with several games, and more are available via the t-zones service. Vital Statistics
The Motorola V360 weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 3.5 by 1.85 by .94 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7.5 hours of digital talk time and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box
