I Hated My Motorola StarTAC 3000 Phone

by KMINER Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 12 '02
Pros: Mine was free, lightweight
Cons: Would never stay charged, see review
We always knew I needed a cell phone, but were never pressed to get me one. Once I became pregnant, my husband grew worried about the 40 minute one way commute I had to work and back. We went to our local US Cellular store, and got a package deal. ...

Small and Cute, But That's Just About It!

by HITZfann , Mar 27 '01
Pros: Small, Light, Easy To Use, Not Much Static
Cons: Low Battery Life, Antenna Too Flimsy, Outdated
Way back during Christmas of 1999 I received my very first cell phone from my Grandfather. Being a teen in today's world, I've grown up with instant gratification and fast-paced technology, so I figured it was the right time to catch up with the times,...

Sweet Talkin' StarTac

by WendyT , Apr 19 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to Use, Plenty of Basic Functions
Cons: Tiny Buttons, Difficult to Adjust to Readout
In Olden Times
In the early 1990's my sister and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for a dinner at her house. Not surprisingly it was crowded Saturday in late spring. In the middle of the store my sister could not remember...

Motorola StarTAC 3000

by iowamommy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 03 '00
Pros: Lightweight and compact, clear reception
Cons: Battery life could use improvement, display letters are odd
When my husband and I upgraded our mobile phones, we were unsure of what to buy. We knew we each wanted a “flip” phone, but didn’t know which one. We had it narrowed down to the StarTAC 3000 and the Nokia 282. We decided to get one of each!

Ringing in the New Year

by ChromeKiller Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 02 '01
Pros: Small, easy to use, and some nice features.
Cons: Sometimes the signal is off, and you'd need to mess around with the phone.
Ever so handy, ever so small, the Motorola StarTac is on the ball. Wireless comes in all shapes and sizes, and this handy little number is one small machine that's great. With the StarTac, you have multiple features such as locking your phone whenever...

Retire this phone, put it in a museum

by mdchachi , Dec 15 '00
Pros: good voice quality, relatively light & compact
Cons: Very poor battery life
I've had this phone for about a year now. It was a free phone that
came with a one-year service agreement with Worldcom Wireless
starting 12/99.

All I needed was a basic phone but I was shocked at how basic
phones still were...

by koolio , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Small
Cons: Everything else!!!
I recently bought this StarTAC phone from an electronics store offering the phone free w/2 yrs. airtime purchase. Soon after, I realized that this was the worst investment of a cell phone that I could have ever done!

Reasons WHY it is so bad:...

Motorola keeps with its trend of being the leader in cell phone technology with their StarTAC series

by killerinstinct , Jul 19 '99
Pros: Price, very small, auto answer/end calls with flip, well made, easy to read/understand manual
Cons: Low battery life, not as many features as higher-end analog, feels funny in hand at first
Motorola's slogan for the StarTac, the "Wearable Telephone" is not far from the truth. While it lacks the ability to change the color of its cover, like the Nokia 5190, it comes with a holder that has a clip on it, so you can attach it to your...

Much more useful than other cell phones

by nepper , Sep 19 '00
Pros: size, battery life(!)
Cons: ease of feature-use (lack thereof)
I won't re-hash the features of this phone, please see the other opinions on it for that information.

Our company standardized on this phone as a replacement for the Oki 13xx series of phones that we had been using. We have since standardized...

No Talk Time. No Options

by paler , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Great Size, Great Offers
Cons: Horrible Batteries
I originally got the StarTac 3000 phone because there was a good deal going on at the time. Buy a two year contract and get the phone for free.

Well, I should have thought more about it. Nothing is free for no reason. The money...

StarTac 3000

by dreamer714 , Sep 28 '00
Pros: Small, lightweight
Cons: Short battery life
I got the Star Tac 3000 because at the time the company that had them offered what I thought was a great deal. They offered the Star Tac 3000 free with free nights and weekends for the life of the contract which I chose 3 years.

I am getting...

Very Good

by MissBetty , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Good
Cons: none
I purchased my Startac cell phone a year ago and have been very satisfied with it. It has been helpful for me when I am in the car or out where I cannot get to a phone. It is a small one that folds up and can carry in pocket or purse without taking up...

Frustratingas hell, but It works well

by mrhone , May 28 '00
Pros: very small easy to operate basic functions
Cons: messages are unreadable, battery doesn't last as long as promised
UNLESS YOU CAN READ UPSIDE DOWN BACKWARDS AND SIDEWAYS, KEEP THE MANUAL.

I had to replace a lost Erickson phone recently. I lost it and I wanted to get a smaller one anyway.

The day that I finally gave up looking for my old phone, I...

Lots of features..but, bring your Manual

by dongeeL , Jan 13 '00
Pros: small size, load of features
Cons: short battery life
My job requires me to be out on construction sites where there are no easy access to phones. Phone messages I get in the office are relayed to me via a two-way radio, but it still made me look for a public phone miles away to return urgent calls. This...

Pros: Small and lightweight, Nice belt clip, good manual
Cons: Cheap antenna, terrible battery life, hard to read display, very top heavy
I admit, I wish I could give this phone a good review, but that would be lying. Here is my reasons why I can't recommend the phone.

First the high points:
*The phone is very small and light weight.
*The phone is basic but not striped...
