Both of these phones seem to have the features I want and both are
available on eBAY fairly cheap unlocked. The v360 is about $120 and the
MPX220 is about $150. I know some people had problems with the MPX220 in
its first iterations. Is that still the case? Or did Moto solve the
firmware problems? Which one would YOU buy?

I had a v360 for about 3 days. Poor reception. If you are going to use
it in an area that is not really close to a tower for get it.

My 2 cents worth.

Haven't tried the MPX220, but I'd definitely get my V360 again. Much
better reception than the other phones in the family (Razor, some newish
Nokia, and a Siemens), no complaints with its features, seems reasonably
durable so far.

Thanks. The guys on the HowardForums seem to like the v360 too.

Which Nokia model do you have for comparison? I am trying to choose
between Nokia 6030 and Motorola V360. Here is what I posted to another
thread:

"I have decided to sign up with T-Mobile. As I have always had Nokia bar
style phones, I am comfortable with them and have chargers set up
everywhere, I was going to pick Nokia 6030.

"However, I just saw Consumer Reports which lists Motorola V360 as the
best buy at T-M. While I am not used to flip style, it has twice the
talk time of Nokia...."

All comments from everyone appreciated.

After all my fiddle-farting around, I finally ended up with a T-Mobile SDA
unlocked, NIB off ebay. $150 + $30 for a 1gb Micro-SD card. A few annoying
quirks but overall it's a pretty neat phone. Haven't tried the wi-fi but
the other stuff works great.
