| popkorn1's Full Review: Motorola Timeport 280 |
This phone has already replaced my house phone. I don't get any calls on my normal phone anymore. The sound quality on the Motorolla Timeport is extremely good, I really wouldn't be able to tell it was a cell phone most of the time if it wasn't for the occasional echo.
By "echo", I mean sometimes when I am talking to somebody, I could hear every word that I say. Apparently, the person that I'm talking to doesn't hear my echo, it's only me. And yes, while its annoying, it's acceptable. It doesn't happen very often, though.
The menu system gets the job done. Some of it makes you question why the heck they'd set it up that way, but it works.
The one thing I really wish was different is the volume of the ringer. Its loud, but not loud enough so that I can hear it when I'm in crowded places. And the vibrating ringer doesn't really alert me too much either, even if its in my pocket. But oh well... overall, great phone.
