| C4iGrant's Full Review: Motorola StarTAC ST7868W Cell Phone |
I have been a cell phone user for many years now and have owned five different models. A few years ago StarTac's were somewhat of a status symbol. They were very expensive and were sometimes hard to obtain. A lot has changed in the cell phone market and now some companies are giving them away with a one year service plan. I would first like to say that if you want a cell phone that you can hide in your pocket or wherever this is the phone for you. I have carried the larger phones and it is a joy to be able to stick it in your pants pocket and not have people think that you are really HAPPY to see them. This phone also has a variety of add-ons (leather case, hands-free system, ear piece, etc.) that you can pick up at places like ebay for a song! Being one of the most popular phones does have its advantages. The storage capacity in the phone is good, but navigation through its phone book can be kind of tricky at first. I highly recommend reading the owners manual before trying to even load a phone number. One handed use is also somewhat hazardous. If you are trying to hold the phone and dial a number it is very easy to drop it.:-( I have my service through GTE (verizon) which has a great web site that allows you customize text messages on everything from stocks to sports. This is a very handy feature and uses very little air time. The web browsing capability is somewhat limited, slow and uses a lot of air time. This technology is just starting and will gradually improve with time. In closing I would have to say that this is the best phone I have ever owned and would highly recommend it to anyone that needs a good small cell phone...
