My first phone was an Ericsson. My second phone was a Nokia. Finally I purchased a StarTAC 7860. I owned it for 2 years. I am a technician and often found myself dropping my cell phone because a ladder or some other object would push the phone off my...

Pros: Size, quality, features
Cons: sound(sometimes)

I have had this phone for a number of months now. My previous phone was the StarTAC 7860W (see my review). I was sent this new model when mine was damaged. I have cell phone insurance so I got this new one for $35. I highly recommend subscribing to the...

Pros: Strong, small, lightweight and versatile.
Cons: Little pricey, would like a bigger display

After much horror with Sprint Wireless Internet and Cellular service, I moved over to Verizon (GTE) for essentially the same services. There is only one phone that they will supply with the Verizon service and that is the Motorola StarTAC 7868W.

Pros: Size, Sound, Internet Ready, Signal Strength
Cons: Questionable Durability, Flimsy Antenna

Folks: As with my ISP service, I've been in a period of experimentation with cell phones and cellular providers over the past 2 years. I've ended up with Verizon Wireless after having tried Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless Service. I think Verizon's...

Pros: Great phone, durable, great reception.
Cons: "Old fashioned" as some would say since it doesn't have games, downloadable ringtones, etc.

I bought this phone when it first came out (2000) and am still using it. I have had service via Alltel and have had no problems with it. I always went with a prepaid plan since it was cheaper and more economical for my use. I even went about a year ...

Pros: Small, Durable, Classy
Cons: Small size not good for rural areas

Just when you thought you had the latest, the 7860 model, here comes the 7868. If you just upgraded to the 7860 I guess you'll have to wait until you fulfill that contract before upgrading to the new one! The 7860 model is a tri-mode-THAT'S CORRECT....

Pros: Phone Book, Backlit, Vibrating
Cons: Few Rings, Weak Battery Life

The StarTAC phone is one of the most expensive mobile phones that you can purchase on most service providers. However, I have found that it is well worth the price, if you need all the features. It also is very compact, and comes with a holster. When...

Pros: small, lightweight, cool
Cons: pricey

So you want a mobile phone do you?

If you can justify the price, this one rocks.
Some of the reasons I bought the StarTAC:
#1 - Small, it is about the size of a text pager.
#2 - Backlight, Activates as soon as you open the...

Pros: Size and portability, reception
Cons: Small display and buttons

After a terrible experience with a Samsung SCH-411 phone, I switched to a StarTac because of its popularity and reputation. Guess what... every raving review I heard about this phone is entirely true.

The StarTac is a small phone, very...

Pros: Size
Cons: Display small

This phone was a gift for my wife. It is the best phone reception wise, I have used. It has a great backlit display with a very clear blue color which highlights the writing.

It has a good memory and the battery seems to last forever. The...

Pros: Small size, data access and sync software, good battery life, small size
Cons: Cannot accept extra battery, analog battery life not so hot, somewhat expensive

Two months ago, I accidently washed (in the washing machine) my Nokia 6162 cell phone. With the phone broken, and my ATT contract expired, I decided to look elsewhere for cell service.

I decided to use Verzion Wireless because they have...

Pros: Ultra-light and Portable.
Cons: Slightly Top-Heavy

I purchased this phone in July of 2000 with a SingleRate plan from Verizon Wireless. I won't discuss the plan here, but I mentioned it because a national rate was required to purchase and activate the tri-mode phone.

All of the technical data...

Pros: Small, lightweight, has internet capability, many useful functions
Cons: Small, can easily get lost

For my birthday this year my husband purchased a Star TAC ST7868W cell phone for me.
He has a Nokia 5160 provided to him by his company. There had been a number of times I was out shopping or running errands and he wanted to get in touch with...

Pros: Small, light, flexible settings
Cons: Fragile antenna

I bought this phone when I switched carriers. Reception and clarity are much better than with my previous (Ericsson) phone, but that might be a combination of carrier and phone. I have noticed clarity improvements when my wife has switched from our...

Pros: Small, Excellent Battery Life, Web Browser Built In
Cons: Are there any?

I bought this phone to replace my AT&T plan, which should be tag lined 'Drops every 3 minutes'. The Motorola phone was a hard sell - I had a Nokia 6160 with a custom slide face, all the hands free goodies and a vibrating extra capacity slim battery....
