Review: If you're a T-Mobile customer with a yen for camera phones, until recently your handset selection has been limited. Now T-Mobile rounds out its lineup with its first Motorola camera phone, the V300.

V400 for Cingular.Measuring 3.5 by 1.9 by 1.0 inches, the Motorola V300 is almost the same size as the business-centric
Motorola V600 but weighs slightly less (4.3 ounces). Instead of the usual flip-phone silver, the V300 is covered in an attractive, smooth, almost rubbery blue material that feels soft to the touch. But while it is solidly constructed and comfortable to hold while talking, its overall design has a hipper look and feel than that of the more straitlaced V400.
![]() V600. Frequent talkers will appreciate the 1,000-entry phone book, and there's room for an additional 250 names on the SIM card. The handset also comes with an alarm clock, a voice recorder, a calculator, a date book, text and multimedia messaging (MMS), AOL instant messaging, two Java (J2ME) games (Stuntman and Bejeweled), and WAP 2.0 wireless Web access via T-Mobile's high-speed GPRS network. One quibble: You can't turn on the speakerphone until you place a call.
