| skitzo_nemesis's Full Review: Motorola T720 Cell Phone |
As I said in the title this was the worst phone that I have owned to date. If I had have paid money for it when I signed up for the 3 year contract that I am in I probably would be even more disappointed. I don't know why I decided to get this phone in the first place, I never liked the look of it. I wanted to get a new phone and upgrade from my v60i, the only thing I found that I had upgraded to was a colour screen. I am not impressed with the T720 at all. The only thing that I liked about it was the price when I signed up for the contract, the colour screen and the fact that it came with a 2 year warranty. I found this phone to have poor reception where other phones that operated on the same GSM bands were getting much better reception. If I had full reception and made a call my service meter would drop down to 1 or 2 bars. I have had several complaints from nearly everyone that I talked to on the phone that they could barely hear me and my phone kept cutting out. To top it all off the hinge cracked on it and started to break off the phone which would have left my phone in 2 separate pieces if I hadn't have sent it away to motorola to get fixed when I did. I find the t720 to be too big and bulky, but I'm just fussy about cell phones I guess, I like flip phones to be a bit more compact like the v220 or the v60. the t720 has turned me off of motorola phones for the time being, I won't be buying another motorola for a long time. I purchased the t720 in Oct of 2004 and it was far too long for me to have the phone, I bought a Nokia 3590 off a friend of mine a few weeks back to have a phone to use while my t720 is off for repair but when I get it back I'm not going to be using it again. I'm so much more happy with the 3590, it puts the t720 to shame as far as reception goes. I've owned 2 motorola phones and both of them didn't have really good reception. It'll be a long time before Motorola gets another dime from me for one of their phones. I should have stayed with Nokia from the start.
