Small, but not perfect

by nplus1 , Sep 06 '00
Pros: small
Cons: poor user interface
When I originally signed up for cellular service, I received a big honkin' Nokia as a free phone with my GTE account. It was easy to use but HUGE. I wanted a mobile phone...not a portable one. I wanted something that would fit in my pocket without...

StarTAC Does No Wrong

by jfkreviews , Mar 14 '01
Pros: tons of features, excellent reception, small, light, sleek design
Cons: hard to find your way through the extensive list of menus
You cannot go wrong with this phone! The StarTAC ST7760 is easily one of the finest cell phones on the market and probably the best choice for under $200. I owned a StarTAC ST7760 for two years before I sold it to buy the slightly more advanced (and...

StarTAC 7760, The Reliable One

by thirtysomethin , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Lightweight, portability, small size
Cons: Price
The Motorola StarTAC 7760 has to be one of the best innovative phones produced and marketed today. It is packed with dozens of features and coupled with a quality digital carrier, not many other phones can touch it for the price.

StarTAC

by elastica , Dec 11 '00
Pros: Small enough to put in the breast pocket. Slick look and feel. I love the backlit display.
Cons: I have to charge it every night if I keep it on.
As a person who travels 5 days a week, I've become a fan of StarTAC's solely based on the size and weight. I usually slip it in my breast pocket and forget about it.

I had the last generation Nokia and decided that I wanted a smaller phone...

The Little Phone That Could

by sdarlin , Aug 13 '00
Pros: compact and easy to use
Cons: small buttons
My husband and I both own Star Tac 7760s, and we love them. We decided on the Star Tac because it's very compact. In addition, the spouse wanted a phone he could use in the subway tunnel, and this was it.

Cons: Small screen, easy to lose.
If you're looking for a small, light, reliable PCS-capable phone that has long battery life, well, look no further. The Startac is what you need. There is little fault I can find with this phone and, despite that there are some phones that do more, I...

Mucho Dinero + Tiny Phone - Radiation

by virk , Dec 01 '99
Pros: Size and weight are remarkable without a major sacrifice in features, Less radiation
Cons: Price, Poor User Interface (Difficult to use)
The fact of the matter is that the network you are on is more important than the phone you have. So if the CDMA network in your area is not good then don't even consider this phone.

If there is a quality CDMA provider in your area and your...

Cons: Outdated Technology. 800MHz is too old.
When the startac first came out, it was probably the best and most desirable "gadget" that a person could have. In its debut, Motorola actually charged $1600 US Dollars for this phone!! That was only 4 years ago!

Cons: Antenna may break off after extremely heavy usage
I originally bought this phone because of it's nice, small size, but many of the other features were important, as well. I love the fact that I can wear it on my belt and keep it with me 24x7. The vibrate feature is also wonderful - I really hate it...

Motorola StarTac 7760 Cell Phone: One of the Best!

Motorola's Digital StarTac is a great innovation, in a rapidly changing cellular phone market. It is easy to use, intuitive, and the VibraCall silent alert is one of the best features. No more embarassing ringing during visits to the movies,...
