Pros: Many WORKING features making it WELL worth the money. Cons: Internet capability still in infancy stages but interesting.
The new Motorola Timeport is a quantum leap forward in cellphones from my perspective. Please indulge me with a somewhat lengthy introduction as to how I arrived at this startling conclusion.
Pros: Dual-mode, dual-band. Belt holster included. Attractive. Many features yet easy to use. Cons: Antenna and finish not durable. Flip pivot point feels cheap.
Some Background First
I purchased a Samsung SCH-3500 phone before I started using Epinions, and when I started using it, I realized I hated everything about it. To be fair, I'll describe what I hated, so you'll know why you should...
Pros: Small size, very easy to read color display Cons: Expensive
The ever popular StarTac phone come in many flavors. It's compact design and sleek look has probably made this basic phone design the longest running series on the market. The Timeport has a nice silver tone and is a bit heavier than its predecessors....
Pros: Look, Straight forward(sort of) features, This is still a phone Cons: Bad reception(maybe service), short battery life,easily scratched
I am one of those techno junkies. Must have the latest. This time it backfired. I had previous version of the Sprint PCS StarTec. Becase I make all my long distance phone call using my cellphone, I leave it on 24/7. The batter life was much better...
Pros: Lots of great features Cons: Requires some set-up time
With so many cellular and PCS phones out there these days offering the latest and greatest bells and whistles, it's nice to find one that includes extra features that actually make your life easier and extend the use of your phone. I use the Timeport...
Pros: Excellent voice clarity, good signal management, excellent battery life, slim AC adapter, includes wireless connection kit, stylish form factor Cons: Not exactly user-friendly, steep learning curve, small menu buttons, flimsy antenna
I had wanted the Motorola Timeport cell phone for a long time. It's small, has long battery life, and comes with a wireless connection kit you can hook up to your Pocket PC or Palm or notebook computer. I was held back by the high price, but finally...
Pros: Freakin' long battery, Data Kit included Cons: Below average reception, silver color is paint.
I bought this phone because for four reasons:
1) Long Battery Life: 4.2 hours of talk time/ 170 hours of standby
2) Data kit included (Serial cable, Sprint PCS Wireless Connectivity software and Motorola's TrueSync software)
3) Dual...
Pros: Dual Mode. Cons: It needs just a little more.
Dual
I have had cell coverage for what seems like forever, I am extremely committed to my provider. In the past two years I have had only two cell providers, Bell Atlantic (Verizon) and Sprint. I review those as well.
Pros: Great audio reproduction, really cool looking Cons: flimsy feel, scratches too easy, not a lot of features for the price
I'm using this phone on the Clearnet network in Canada. The package that we get includes the swivel holster but neglects to include the data cable. A crying shame if you ask me, but oh well... (a friend of mine still using an old phone refuses to...
Pros: Extra features, small with good battery life Cons: Could be seen as "gimmicky"
Having been very happy with my Startac, it was an easy choice to make the step up to the similar Motorola Timeport 8167. The Timeport is slightly larger and heavier than the StarTac, and in feature set is very similar to the new indiglo-backlit StarTac...
Pros: Reception, clarity/volume, sync mode, features Cons: Still thinking for a real gripe.....
I recently purchased the P8167. I was nervous because I had so much luck with my Nokia 5160. However, I was displeased with AT&T's service so I decided to give Sprint a try (besides, I could get an employee rate with Sprint!!). I decided on the...
I remember when Motorola made the untouchable phones. People were paying twelve and thirteen hundred dollars for Startacs (this was fifteen years ago,) and were glad to do so. Well, times have changed, but Motorola no longer leads the pack like they...
I recently switched from Nokia 6160 to Motorola Timeport. My reason for switching the phone was that I wanted a flip phone that I can carry easily. Nokia 6160 was moderately small in size, but it was not comfortable having it in my pocket for casual...
Pros: small, browses web, nice display Cons: too many small buttons, expensive, big antenna
I was looking for a smaller phone than my Nokia 6190 and the roaming charges from PacBell were pretty brutal, so Sprint was the only other reasonable choice (IMHO). I'll review the service in a seperate Epinion and just focus on the phone in this...
