Pros: Lightweight, Small, Easy to Use Cons: Poor Reception, Antenna Bends Easily, Terrible Battery Life
I have fancied the StarTac since it came out several years ago. This small lightweight phone is excellent for someone who doesn’t want the bulk of most conventional phones. I wouldn’t recommend the phone to someone who does not enjoy dropped...
Pros: Tons of Features Cons: I only liked a couple ringer styles
I really don't know where to start with this phone. Well, first of all, this is my third cell phone. First, I had a big fat audiovox that was way outdated. Then, I traded phones with my mom. She gave me her audiovox, and it was smaller, but barely. I...
I recently switched cellular phone companies for the sole purpose of purchasing the new StarTac phone. My old carrier did not carry the StarTac's, so I decided that after 4 years I would switch companies so i could get a different phone. I knew a few...
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: small size, coolness factor, big LCD screen Cons: feels a little flimsy -- be careful with it
I've been in love with Motorola StarTACs since I was a freshman in high school (I'm a junior now) and my web-design teacher had one of those "sweet" phones with the little green blinking light. The best part was that it fit on his belt! How...
Pros: Small, compact, nice clip for attaching to your belt Cons: The transition from digital to analog, during a phone call, loses the caller
This is a very small, compact yet powerful little phone. It packs a lot of punch in a very small package. The first phone I had was installed by the cellular company and the "radio" had to be installed in the trunk, because it was so big and bulky and...
Pros: Small size, descent size screen Cons: Menus are a pain, doesn't get your attention w/ ring or vibrate
12/02 added thoughts ...
I still have the phone, it's still working. Been through at least 5 antenas that I remember so far. Other than that it's OK except for the weak ring sound.
Pros: Light-weight, small, durable, easy to use, stylish Cons: pricey
The Motorola StarTAC is the phone for today's worker and business type. The phone is compact, light, and efficient, by which I mean both easy to use and simple. Simple in the sense that this is a no nonsense phone. With a remarkable phone book...
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...
I chose this phone because it was free with a 3 year contract with my celular provider. Its a lot smaller than the motorola 650 i had for years before it. I was told that digital phones don't work as well in analogue areas as analogue phones do, but i...
Pros: Small and convenient to use Cons: Sometimes it is too small
In general the phone is a great buy. In digital mode the battery can last up to 2 days with using it on a regular basis, and it can last almost a week if you have it on and don't use it.
Analog mode, you are lucky if the battery lasts a day...
Pros: small, lightweight, belt clip is very handy Cons: poor signals (frequently) prevent calls
My husband just received a new Motorola ST7868W through his employer. He uses it for work and for important personal calls. Very often the phone cannot get a signal or the signal strength is too weak to place a call. This happens in many different...
Pros: Small, not bulky, light-weight, slim design, phone holster is easy to use, timers helpful Cons: very susceptible to water damage, a bit pricey
I appreciate many of the StarTac's features. I had a bulkier cell phone before this one, and I really like the slimmed-down design and that it doesn't weigh much. I can handle it with one hand and drive with the other fairly easily. The reception is...
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.
