  • Powerful phone with great features--Big brother of V-60 and V-120

    Apr 25 '02
    Pros: Good speakerphone, sound is clear in digital land almost all of the time, tri-mode
    Cons: Battery life maybe short at times, software problems, can't fix phone at local Verizon store

    Summary: I have always had Verizon Service since April of 2001 and saw that this phone was coming out in CDMA mode for Alltel in June and always thought you could use the Alltel phones with Verizon. And I saw this phone had a speakerphone and I really wanted this ... read more

  • Best I have had.

    Dec 13 '05
    Pros: The battery life, loud ring tones and battery life.
    Cons: Size. No games, calculater, etc.

    Summary: This phone has the best battery life of all the phones I ever owned over the years. The speakerphone is a big plus. It has great sound and when I speak most callers did not realize I was on a speakerphone. Although if you put the phone in a leather ... read more

  • Saved me in an area with poor reception

    Mar 11 '03
    Pros: Strong, consistent reception! Easy to use, great speakerphone.
    Cons: Larger than flip style

    Summary: Living in an area known for poor reception, I was loaned five expensive flip phones (including Motorola 60i) with five carriers for a week (Qwest, Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, AT&T) and nothing was working well. Service was sporadic or non-existent. Then my ... read more

  • Not as good as I expected.

    Jan 13 '03
    Pros: Good speakerphone, good reception in most areas.
    Cons: Screen fonts are too small, poor placement of some buttons.

    Summary: I bought this phone because I wanted to get on a cheaper plan and my old Startac wasn't a tri-band phone. I was told by the Alltel rep that I would "love" this phone. She said that she and others in the office all had it and found it to be the best ... read more

  • A great phone for a great price

    Dec 13 '02
    Pros: Text Messaging, Tri-Mode, Speaker Phone, Voice Dialing, Bluetooth, Web Access, Good Reception, Voice memos
    Cons: Phone Book Limited, Software Glitches, Inconsistent Navigation, Monochrome Screen

    Summary: Background: I am hard on cell phones. I use my phone for hours everyday. It goes wherever I do and unfortunately, I'm not as careful as I should be.. Features: Other than the lack of a color screen and the lack of ... read more

  • It takes a licking and keeps on ...

    Nov 19 '02
    Pros: Incredibly strong case, good speaker phone
    Cons: Paint flakes off faceplate...carrying cradle does not securely hold phone

    Summary: This summer, I dropped my Motorola 270c. Not unusual, except I was on an amusement park ride about 50 feet in the air at the time. It fell down and hit concrete, lower left corner first. After putting the battery and battery cover back on (these jar ... read more

  • With the right add on's - Outstanding!

    Nov 18 '02
    Pros: A great Speaker Phone - Moe than enough features
    Cons: Display fonts too small -

    Summary: Motorola 270C is an outstanding speaker phone. I love the fact I can clip it to my sun visor in the car and talk hands-free with no wires to get in the way or hang a mike in your ear, etc. It's my very own poor man's "On Star" I am told the sound is very ... read more

  • Timeport 270C

    Jul 27 '02
    Pros: Many Features, Easy Access, Speakerphone
    Cons: Bulky, Cannot Download Ringtones and Screens, etc.

    Summary: The 270C is a very nice phone for those of you seeking reliable communication. Motorola has always been one of the tops in signal quality and durability. This phone rings in as one of their tops due to its large number of features including the ... read more

  • Not a bad phone

    May 09 '02
    Pros: Easy to read display, quality speakerphone, battery life
    Cons: A little bulky, expensive accessories

    Summary: A received this phone with my Verizon Wireless service for Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Like the newer Motorola model phones, the 270c has a better user interface with a shortcut function which allows the user the customize certain functions. The phone has a ... read more

  • Good phone, but needs silence

    Apr 24 '02
    Pros: Speaker phone is nice safety feature
    Cons: Lack of easy silence feature

    Summary: This phone has a lot of features I was looking for--the calendar and speaker phone made it worth the extra $100 over the v120c. (The lack of a speaker phone kept me from the v60c). Unfortunately, I think a major deficiency in this phone is the ... read more

  • Could be what you are looking for in a phone

    Mar 20 '02
    Pros: Features, durability, size/weight ratio
    Cons: Lack of alarm/timer

    Summary: I recently sent my V60c back to Qwest and told them I was not satisfied with it. My choice for replacement? The Timeport 270c, and I have not been disappointed in my decision. One might think it odd that I "downgrade" from the V60c, but as I ... read more

  • I get by with a little help from my phone

    Feb 17 '02
    Pros: Signal Strength (Verizon); sound quality; Outlook sync; volume; voice notes; screen doesn't scratch easily
    Cons: Interface is weak; joystick feels cheap; battery life a joke; antenna nub pain; price

    Summary: This phone isn't a complete loser, but it falls short even in the things it is supposed to do. To put this in perspective, know that my last phone was a Sendo unit badged as the Sprint Touchpoint 2200. This phone was an ergonomic gem. In addition, the ... read more

  • Overpriced Speaker Phone

    Dec 24 '01
    Pros: Great speaker phone, excellent display, friendly, solid functionalilty, wonderful voice features
    Cons: Lacks features FAR less expensive phones have, bulky, iTAP, internet slow, expensive.

    Summary: When I walked into the Verizon Store and saw the 270c, visions of the I85 came to mind. My main goal in my new cell phone (since Nextel didn't have coverage near my house and I wanted ONE phone number for people to reach me) was a speaker phone. I had ... read more

  • Finally an easy hands free feature.

    Dec 04 '01
    Pros: Solid, easy to use phone with speakerphone feature.
    Cons: Back cover is separate from battery. Huge antenna strut.

    Summary: This is my fourth cell phone in the last two years. However, one was because my wife lost a phone, and this last purchase was because we decided to give my mother in law a phone to use in emergencies. The Timeport 270c is about the same size ... read more

  • This is my favorite phone yet

    Dec 04 '01
    Pros: speaker phone, large screen, clarity, long battery life, voice commands, FM radio feature
    Cons: no calculator, no games

    Summary: I just wanted to give my two cents worth of opinions to this phone. I've read quite a few reviews that were in earlier threads but after using it for the past few days i thought i have garnered enough time to offer up a reliable review. The ... read more
