New Phone - Motorola V330

After getting harassed by my new co-workers, and went out and got a new phone today. I lost mine a month ago in California and have been (happily) living without one ever since. Since I'm a T-Mobile subscriber (and much happier with them vs. AT&T), I went to their local store and asked to see their Bluetooth phones (for iSync, presentations and connecting to the internet on my PowerBook). They only had a couple and I decided to get the Motorola V330. I did some research briefly at the Apple Store before buying it and it seems good enough for me. It has the things I care about, but isn't too fancy or expensive. Since I didn't qualify for an upgrade (1 month before my last contract is up), I had to pay $170 (vs. 150 for the upgrade), which isn't that bad compared to the $300 I paid for my Sony Ericsson T637 I got last summer.

The phone seems pretty good so far, and there's been only one minor hiccup. When I first tried to use iSync, it said "device not supported". Thanks to Google and this post, it was easy to fix.

The best part about T-Mobile is I get unlimited data for $19.99/month. Supposedly, this phone works with EDGE networks, which should be available in Denver early next year. This means data transfer rates of up to 384KB/sec. Very cool.

Is the network fast enough to run VOIP? That way you could have unlimited data and unlimited minutes for $20/month.

Since your service is up in a month, have u thought of Cingular. Customer service has improved a lot, free mobile-to-mobile if you call other cingular customers, many cool phone choices, possible move to UMTS is many major cities by the end of the year.. etc etc.

I just bought a V330 and have Mac OS 10.4. How did you get Isync to work?

Wend, I used this post. Basically, I duplicated the v600 block in this filed, renamed everything to v330 and then renamed the image as suggested in the post.

You didn't happen to see any way to get the V330 to work with 10.3 by any chance? Just got mine last week and didn't realize all the fixes were for iSync 2.0 (doh!). Might just have to bite the proverbial bullet and upgrade...
