It says it's advanced. I say it's too complicated.

Pros: High-tech gadgetry
Cons: Small buttons, difficult to learn to use, too high-tech
The Bottom Line: The latest Timeport is the most technologically difficult piece to be created so far. Strongly not recommended.

| CM400a's Full Review: Motorola Timeport P935 |
Motorola's latest pager, the Timeport P935, is not really advanced at all. Although it is sometimes advertised as a step up from last years P877, I think that the P877 was much easier to use and understand. For instance, when I'm on the run trying to get through the rush hour traffic to get to work on time, with my P877 all I had to do to check my schedule was push the larger on button and then press the shift and schedule buttons. The P935, however is much more difficult, because I actually have to look at the screen longer just to figure out what it's trying to tell me to do to see my schedule. So I'm trying to look at my pager doo-dad thingy and it's flashing symbols, and I glance up, swerve out of the path of an oncoming car, this is difficult. And when I finally do find the calendar, it doesn't show anything in actual days, it just shows dates. And if you're like my, you're always thinking "9-27 is that Wednesday, no Tuesday, no wait that's this Saturday" And by the time you figure out what day of your schedule it is you're looking at, you're already at work and you don't know whether to go see the boss, go to the meeting room, or just go to your desk and start punching the keys. It's really irritating.
Anyway the P935 is not worth the substantial price difference from the P877.
