I have just purchased this phone and whilst other reviews I read were helpful, most were not - there was a lot of complaining and I finally made my decision to buy it. I wish more people would write useful reviews on the internet which can benefit everyone. Good job dude!!

The official moto site doesn't even list a v500, if you can believe it. And yes, the headset is definitely the coolest use for BT. I spend a lot of time on the road, and it really helps to not have to jam the phone between my ear and shoulder when I'm making a call.

When I did my research a few months ago, T-Mobile were one of the few who did sell / support these. I'm currently using a Nokie 3650 Symbian series 60 phone. It's *very* nice and the bluetooth works *very* well with my Mac G5. It's not really fair to compare to what you're reviewing, of course, since it's a larger phone and etc....

I probably would have gotten this phone for my wife if it was available. She went with an SE-T316 which I don't like at all and does not have BT. At LEAST it has IR. The only Moto flip phone available at the time through Cingular was the T720, and no IR or BT made its internet connection useless. She still misses her Startac, and this may make a good replacement when it shows up in the states. Perhaps it will put an end to her hijacking my BT phone to check her email!
