Motorola StarTAC ST7860W Cell Phone

Pros: Small, Light, Excellent service, Excellent battery life
Cons: None significant, just a slightly dim backlighting on the LCD and a small display.

I love mobile technology. I myself have had a TON of phones in my lifetime. I've always liked the StarTac line as well, as it's small, functional, and easy to buy accessories for.

I've always been a fan of Bell Atlantic's service, and with...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Well, for those of you who follow my trials and errors in the field of technology, you know that my ericsson phone deserves to die....but alas, all is not lost! I have found my motorola friend for life.

The Motorola StarTAC ST7860W has a...

Pros: You can communicate with practically anyone anywhere.
Cons: You can annoy practically anyone anywhere.

OK, first of all, let me say that yes, I have one, a cellphone very similar to the Motorola StarTAC ST7860W. It's a good working phone. There, I have settled the legality of giving a product epinion.

So now I'm a hypocrite, right? Well maybe....

Pros: Works well, good user interface, good service. A usable and practical device.
Cons: Not as pretty as newer phones, no PIM

I purchased this phone, with Verizon (formerly Bell Atlantic) phone service. I purchased it because my 2-year old StarTac had stopped working one day and was just out of date with new technology (like, web surfing). The old phone started working again,...

Pros: size, vibrating ringer
Cons: clarity of calls, fragile feel

My cellular provider offered a service renewal rebate on this phone so i traded my nokia 6160 for it. Right away I noticed that the phone itself feels too light and likely prone to breakage. Since owning it for six months I still feel the phone is too...

Pros: Size, Features
Cons: Fragility

I recently purchased a Motorola Star-Tac phone to replace a early model Nokia. I am not a big cel-phone user, mainly because the phone I had in the past didn’t offer me enough to become a loyal follower. Now, with the competition in the market, the...

Pros: Lightweight, small size, easy operation with one hand.
Cons: Poor battery life, no web features, expensive.

The Startac is a great phone and about 2 years ago it was probably the most popular phone out there. So many colleagues at my office got one of these phones that those that had them became known as the "startac mafia".

This phone has very...

Pros: small, good voice quality, web features
Cons: poor hands-free headset design

For a while I was selling refurbished cell phones; I have had a chance to try many different brands/models. This is by far the best digital cell phone I have used in terms of features and quality. I have mainly used this with Sprint PCS, so other...

Pros: Small, lightweight
Cons: Fragile, $$$$

Recently I purchased the Startac. What a great phone, not to mention that I read somewhere that it was the safest cell phone since the antenna is pointed backwards away from the head.
Anyways it has excellent sound quality and features. The...

Pros: light, efficient, excellent battery life, internet-ready
Cons: price (for now), not too sturdy/solid

This is the newest phone (as of Jan 2000) offered by Motorola in the US market. I recently purchased one through Bell Atlantic.

Price: $239.99. Considering how much new digital phones cost outside the United States, and that it is close to...

Pros: Size and portability, sound quality clamshell screen protection, talk time, phone book capacity, durability
Cons: Slim li-ion battery life (bought extra, came with extended capacity main li-ion)

I bought the StarTAC during a moment of self-indulgence and haven't regretted the decision. I moved up from an Audiovox 4500 (web-enabled also), which is another excellent phone, but I wanted something a little smaller and more stylish. The build quality...

Pros: light small and very reliable and useful
Cons: break when misused its not a brick

after looking at the review of all the different features that are listed about this phone and the types of service and security that they provide i'm sure you will want to buy one for yourself , there's only one drawback
to these phones and that...

Pros: Great audio, extensive features, long talk/standby time, compact size.
Cons: Not a one.

I have a StarTAC 7868 and I love it. Of all the phones I've used it has the BEST audio quality, feature set, and size. Because I use my phone a lot, the long battery time was key in my decision - it's better than my old, over-hyped Nokia. I can go 2-3...

Pros: Everything about it is great
Cons: Nada

The phone I have is the Motorola StarTAC 7860. My friend had purchased this phone and said it was very good and I said ok I will buy it because my other cell (uh hem Ericsson) was crapping out on me. I had gone to Bell Atlantic and purchased it with a...

Pros: clarity, quality
Cons: cost. - look for the rebate offers

For .3 watts this phone is an amazing improvement over Nokia and Ericsson. The digital clarity is unmatched and superior to the Nokia. The battery is one that lasts hours of talk time longer than the bigger, bulkier nokia types. It seems to have the same...
