Motorola StarTAC ST7867W Cell Phone

Pros: small size, features
Cons: bent antenna

Motorola has made another great phone. I first decided to give this phone to my mother for mother's day. I figured that the small size would appeal to her by allowing her to keep it in her purse. To my surprise my mother decided to take my used...

Pros: great phone from a great manufacturer
Cons: creaky plastics, high SAR

I've always been a Motorola fan ever since the days of my old BRICK, the Motorola 8000. Those were the days when Motorola built phones you could run over with a car and at most end up with a few scratches in the plastic (don't try that trick at...

Pros: Dual Band Phone
Cons: Poor reception.

I write most of my reviews on wireless phones and services, as that is what I do to make a living (sell phones, not write reviews.) Most of my reviews talk about the features of the phones, the service, and the quality of the phone, giving an overall...

Pros: Safety and Easy of Use
Cons: Price

I bought my Motorola Startac about 3 months ago, after watching the cell phone safety episode of 20/20. I spend about 6 - 8 hours a day on my cell phone so after watching this show I was very concerned. If you haven't seen the 20/20 special, basically it...

Pros: Size, Weight, Battery Life, Clarity
Cons: Price, lack of furnished accessories, snap together fit and finish

I have been a big fan of Nokia phones for nearly three years. I have owned both a 6160 and 6185. They were rugged, small, had outstanding clarity, and good battery life. However, when I switched to SprintPCS I had to select another brand because...

Pros: Looks cool
Cons: Never judge a book by its cover

Well, picture the scene if you will. A cold autumnal day, the brown leaves trickling to the floor around me, my car broken down. But I'm safe, I'm carrying my startac, and I know that all will be well...or I should however I was wrong...

The...

Pros: Size, battery life, features
Cons: Menu difficult to navigate

I purchased my StarTac to replace my aging Qualcomm 2700. I had used the phone for about a year, cancelled the service for a year, then reactivated it when I didn't have the money (or need, so I thought) to buy a new phone. The company I consult for...

Pros: PCS network, CDMA (digital) means better quality of calls, small, advanced features not available on other phones
Cons: Pricey, internet access not worth it (on any wireless)

The Motorola StarTac ST7867 is a phone that reinforces the fact that wireless technology has not become just some new toy for the masses of America. With all the phones, from the pretty, shiny Samsungs to the Nokias with banana peel-like multi-colored...

Pros: Dual Band, Long-Lasting Battery, Web-Enabled, High Call Clarity,
Cons: Flimsy Antenna, Weak Signal in Buildings, Weak Vibrating Alert

I purchased my ST7867 three months ago and have been quite satisfied. The main reason I gravitated toward this phone was because of its small profile, as I wanted to wear it on my belt. There is only one caveat about wearing it: the flimsy retractable...

Pros: Mini-me communication, great sound
Cons: Well, I've had the thing less than a day -- I'll keep you updated

Hey Lisa,

I am one of a precious few around here that does not yet have a cell phone
but I'm slowly caving in to the thought of buying one. What kind did you
buy? What service plan are you on? How does a bill become a law? (First two...

Pros: size, weight, durability, reception
Cons: poor interface, missing features, odd shape

My previous phone was the Sprint Touchpoint Dual-Band. It was a great phone--you'll note that my Epinion of it is glowing. Unfortunately, it fell out of my pocket while I was shoveling snow, and I was unable to find it.

This minor disaster...

Pros: Small size, dual-band
Cons: Dropped calls, poor reception in places

The StarTAC Dual-band phone for SprintPCS is just the next generation of the same form-factor phone. It shares all the advantages of it's older brothers, small, easy to use, and it can use most of the already avaliable accessories.

Why buy...

Pros: Size, style, clarity, battery life, dual-mode.
Cons: (slight) menu navigation.

I upgraded to the dual mode Startac a couple of months ago from my Qualcomm dual mode phone. The primary reason that I upgraded was that the Startac is easy to carry around inconspicuously.

I use the phone for both business and personal...

Pros: SIZE/WEIGHT, STYLE, SOUND QUALITY
Cons: PRICE, NO DESKTOP CHARGER INCLUDED

The startac 7867 is a great phone. Plain and simple. The features that make this phone the best are:

1)Cool Blue display- This color not only cool but has a functionality too. It's easy to read...much better than the green color.

...

Pros: Stylish, Durable, Reliable, Excellent Built Quality, Name Brand, Tons of Accessories Available.
Cons: No longer available, Missing Few Features, flimsy Antenna.

I am a fan of Motorola's Startac design since the analog ages. Sure, it's not as light nor compact as the V.60 series phones. It doesn't have a ton of feautres commonly seen in phones from other manufacturers. In fact, it's yesterday's technology...
