Motorola Timeport P8767 Cell Phone

Pros: Lightweight, lots of features, clam shell style with color.
Cons: On very bright sunny days, the screen is difficult to see.

It has a compact clam shell style and weighs about 5 ounces. You get standard features found in most phones, such as a built in mini browser, access directions, stock quotes, and airline information. The difference is they are in color with this...

Pros: Sleek, stylish. Screen has awesome visibility. Small stature.
Cons: Miniscule keyboard. Price will make your wallet bleed.

When it comes to the cell phone market, I’m beginning to believe that form is overtaking function. Today’s phones are smaller, sleeker, and more stylish than they really need to be. This observation just serves to fuel my current hypothesis that the...

Pros: Display, ruggedness
Cons: Price, flimsy (useless?) antenna

I have trouble seeing the displays of most cell phones. The black on green, or black on light gray is almost impossible for me to see. So when I first saw the display on the Timeport, I was more than impressed and interested. In fact, I bought the...

Pros: Cool phone with laptop connectivity kit
Cons: Too fragile for everyday use

I got this phone on sale for $100 with a 1-year Sprint agreement. They claimed it normally sold for $200. The phone came with a laptop connectivity kit, which sold for a hundred dollars by itself. I like the flip-style phones and this one had the best...

Pros: Small, very clear voice quality, comfortable to use, nice display, very stylish.
Cons: Hinge is a little flimsy, possible reception issues, expensive.

I've wanted a cellular phone for some time and decided that I might as well get one to see what it was like.

I decided on the Motorola TimePort because I've always liked the design of their other flip phones (StarTACs, etc.). One of the...

Pros: small, sleek design; long battery life; excellent reception; loads of goodies
Cons: price; almost too many features

I recently purchased a Motorola Timeport P8767 from Verizon. Truth be told, I didn't need it at all...but, after nearly two glorious years with my StarTAC 7760, I felt it had to be time to update. I sold my StarTAC to my buddy who was purchasing his...

Pros: Lightweight, small footprint, extended features
Cons: Awkward, complicated interface

As a technical professional with no land line at home, my cell phone has become the center of my gadget universe. When I recently upgraded to a new mobile service, I spent some time researching phones, and eventually settled on the Motorola TimePort...

Pros: Small, light weight design and a colorful display.
Cons: Weak antenna that is easily broken.

When upgrading to a new cellphone I wanted something that wasn't big and heavy, came with a belt clip, had a good display and long lasting battery power. I ended up with the Motorola Timeport P8767.

One of the biggest reasons I bought...

Pros: Nice compact design. Great sound quality.
Cons: Screen impossible to see outdoors.

This is my fourth cell phone. I got very tired of the non-folding style phones. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally made a call while the phone was in my pocket or scratched the screen because it was knocked against something when I put...

Pros: LONG list of features, sleek design, compact size, clarity of reception, fantastic color screen
Cons: silver paint covering, uncomfortable belt clip, screen tough to see in sunlight, silver paint

I must admit that the Motorola Timeport is my first cellular phone. It serves as both a graduation present and a means of communication with my family (they will be 400 miles from me as I attend college). HOW, you ask, will I be able to afford long...

Pros: easy installation, works first time
Cons: display small for web browsing

Having read the other opinions, I generally concur in that this is an excellent phone, full of features. I love the display and think it is super easy to see, far easier than others I have seen or used. So I'm going to write about the other features...

Pros: Lightweight, strong reception, clarity, compact, easy to see display
Cons: Irritating ringers, menu system a little wierd

I got this phone as a replacement for a fairly new multi-featured phone solely because I wanted a phone that focused on being a phone. This plus its compact size, good past experience with Motorola, and its cool multi-colored display made this the top...

Pros: Color Screen
Cons: The screen dims considerably after a period of time making reading it a real chore

Many times I think our opinions of cellular phones are based not only on how good the phone is but how good the cellular carrier is at providing solid coverage.

I am using Verizon in CT with this phone. I recently signed with them after not...

Pros: Nice color display. Very lightweight. Features, features, and more features.
Cons: Painted silver housing.

It has been a while that I had not taken time to write about a product. Though, this is one I have to make an exception for.

I will begin by saying that it was about time Motorola stepped up to the plate. With all the competition going on...

Pros: Good Reception, multi-color, integrates 100% with my car
Cons: Web browser?!? What is the point?

To tell the truth, I didn't go out looking for this phone - it came as part of the 2001 Mercedes C-240 that my wife and I bought.

It is the phone that is factory integrated into the car. It has worked wonderfully both in the car and out of it...

Pros: Very Stylish, Great Screen, Great Reception
Cons: Poorly Made, rubber comes off, technical problems

I originally bought this phone because the sales guy offered me the phone for $50 more than the startac I was going to purchase, which would be free under a contract. So I basically got the phone for $50.
All the staff for the wireless company I was...

Pros: Weight, Style, Display
Cons: Price,interface/feautures,"creakiness"

About a month ago Sprint had its "semi annual sale." During this sale the intrueging Timeport 8767 was on sale for $100. I get board with gadgets quickly so I decided to switch over from my Touchpoint 2200. My experiences so far have been mostly...

Pros: Excellent 3 color display, easy to use, small, and light.
Cons: No calendar.

I suffer from a severe case of technology envy. In addition, I have symptoms which include jealousy of all things that come in a clean, but "pretty" package.

Luckily, I also suffer from small-bank-accountitis. So I wait until prices drop,...

Pros: Screen, Appearance, Battery Life, Quality, Ergonomics, Recption, Layout, Ease of Use
Cons: Antenna??

As you noticed...it is February 5th 2003...and I purchased a new Motorola Timeport P8767 on EBAY. Why would I do that you might ask...well because the Motorola Timeport P8767 is the best Sprint phone to date in my opinion.

I have owned the...

Pros: Screen, price, size, phone color, quality
Cons: Antenna, screen, phone color

Motorola has some great phones, but none of them are perfect. The Motorola Timeport P8767 is an ex-cell-ent example of this.

Most people first see the phone on the phone on the outside, and are dazzled by the flawless platinum finish....

Pros: GREAT sound quality, easy phonebook, love the display!
Cons: Antenna (no biggie), no ring+vibracall, no calender (PDA)

I purchased this phone after having tried the Samsung N200. I liked the phone and it had alot of great features, but my ear just never got used to the flimsy uhhh, earpiece i guess I could call it. SO, i went looking for another phone and came upon...

Pros: great display, great features, durable (so far), with good battery life
Cons: can't use earphone functionality to fullest extent

Boy, it's been a year since I've written a review on Epinions.com. Here goes....

I bought this phone purely because of the design. The clam-shell design appealed to my Trekkie side (you know those communicators in the original series/movies...

Pros: Looks great, Provides Great service, Thin, awesome display!
Cons: Antenna Stinks-always breaking, Phone belt holder is to big!

I recently purchased the Motorola Timeport Phone because I switched from ATT Wireless (which is the worst service in the world by the way) to Verizon. Verizon which is the largest wireless provider in the world was selling the phone for $299 when I...

Pros: Nice looking, good features
Cons: Poor battery performance

I used to love this phone. It was silver, it looked cool, and it was an upgrade from my old Motorola (those ubiquitous black ones). It has a web feature, and the phone book allows you to store names and several phone number for each name.

...

Pros: A crystal clear display, fool-proof.
Cons: I am not big on the silver cover.

I must say I am really satisfied with my new Timeport. The thing that really sets this phone apart from any other is the display. Wow, you can clearly see the text in any lighting or at any angle. I can clearly see the display in direct sunlight and in...

Pros: The "Oooh" Factor. Small size. Belt clip.
Cons: Paint. Screen at times. COST.

I'm starting to get older, and with age comes maturity. I tend to consider the days of buying things to impress my friends over with, but every great now and then I can't help but indulge myself. When my old LG phone finally bit the dust, I couldn't...

Pros: Size, flip feature
Cons: A bit flimsy

Besides the great standard mobile phone features and functions available on the Timeport 8767, the mobile web and data features are very nice too. I subscribed to mobile web and data through Verizon Wireless, and have been very impressed with the...

Pros: Excellent visual display, keyboard and receiver. Good choice for elderly or handicapped.
Cons: Lousy antenna set-up. See review for modification advice.

For almost 10 years I used the Motorola Tele Tac 200/250 with no problems. The trusty brick phone worked just about everywhere, everytime and had a well-designed keypad and receiver. Then, without warning, Verizon pulled the plug on analog phones. It ...

Pros: Trippy tir-color display, small and light, excellent sound quality
Cons: Expensive, display hard to see in bright sunlight, antenna could be redesigned.

Ok, I'll admit, I can be easily impressed, but this phone has exceeded my expectations further than I could imagine. The dsiplay is what drew me to looking into the Timport, but after talking to others who enjoyed their P8767's I was sold.

My...

Pros: Small size, color screen, very good battery life and reception.
Cons: Price. Display may be hard to read in bright sunlight.

I'll open this review with a bit of a disclaimer: I made the huge jump from a Motorola DPC-550 analog phone to the digital Timeport P8767. That said, bear with me if I gush about the improvements in mobile technology that I've been missing for the past...

Pros: Comfortable and small, nice positioning of earpiece and mike.
Cons: More features than I will likely use

This phone is comfortable, sleek and attractive. The controls are easy to use (ie volume change while speaking, switching from ring to vibrating or silence). However, the menus for the more complex functions are not very clear.

The memory...

Pros: Lightweight, eye-catching display, great signal strength.
Cons: Bulkier than a StarTac, smallish screen.

I upgraded to this phone as part of a special plan offer from Verizon if I extended my contract with them for a year.

I had no choice, in order to take advantage of the plan, I had to buy a tri-mode phone. Not a big deal, with the money I...

Pros: Lightweight, readable display, vibrating
Cons: No voice dial, I really miss that . . .

I just bought this phone - my choice was primarily driven by the fact that I signed up for Verizon cellular service (for reasons outlined in another review) and this was the one I liked out of the choices I had.

So far I'm very happy - it is...

Pros: Small, nice design, long battery life, features
Cons: painted case, price

I previously had the Motorola StarTac phone and hated it. My calls were constantly dropped or wouldn't come thru at all. I was so annoyed and fought with my cell phone company about the whole ordeal. They then promised me that the new Motorola...

Pros: Vibrant color screen, tri mode, and 150% improvement!
Cons: Meny structure is difficult and key arrangement isn't great.

We were all excited about the Motorola Timeport 8767 (A.K.A. RAVEN) months before it came out. The color screen! Improvements with 1900MHz CDMA technology! Better network reception!

We were also a little nervous, after the performance...

Pros: clarity, rather quick charge and display
Cons: antennae

For the last two years I had been looking for a cell phone to replace my land line. I have been through five cell phones prior to owning the Timeport. Of course I was immediately impressed by the colored display and the style of the phone. The size...

Pros: GREAT sound, GREAT Display, GREAT battery Life, and it's Tri-Mode.
Cons: questionable quality, not so great attena

Having owned two samsungs and a qualcomm thin phone, and after hearing about Motorolas exceptional sound quality, I decided on this phone. I enjoyed the Samsung 8500, but the sound was not great, and the battery began to crap out. Unable to find a...

Pros: Functionality, design, quality, business use
Cons: antenna, uncomfortable on holster

I purchased the Sprint PCS Timeport 8767 in June 2002, and have loved it ever since. This phone doesn't have the gimmicks, games, or fancy ringers that other phones do, but it is a top quality piece of business equipment. The quality is focused on the...

Pros: small size,ease of use,clear reception,color screen,
Cons: screen hard to read in sunlight

motorola has hit a home run with this phone. very ease to carry due to its compact size. reception excellent(verizion service) .features are easy to get to and use.phone book easy to load and recall you can store up to 4 phone numbers for each name which...

Cons: battery - price - radiation concerns?

1900 CDMA
800 CDMA
800 AMPS

Finally purchased this phone after i heard all the great word-of-mouth things about it. The most outstanding feature about this phone is it's abiltiy to hang onto any signal no matter how weak. Motorola's...

Pros: Reception. Battery Life. Easy to read display. Sync with PC software. Durability.
Cons: Annena breaks easy but not needed. Large compare to new flip phones.

The recption on this phone is the best I have found on the Sprint Network in Seattle. I chage my phone every night so the battery in never an issue even under heavy use. Very nice to sync my phone numbers with included software. If I lose your phone...

Pros: The color display!
Cons: Don't expect many colors!

This phone is a newer equivalent of the StarTac phone, famous for its small size flip-phone design. But the P8767 has a few extras, including the three color LCD display.

Pros:
• The color display. I thought it would be useless but found...

Pros: Nice looking phone with an easily readable screen.
Cons: Identical features to the StarTac, more expensive, does not feel solid and durable

I have used the Verizon service for years (see my review of Verizon service), and, after my wife needed a phone gave her my StarTac. After that, I went shopping for a new phone. I bought the Timeport because of it's screen and the way it looks - I liked...

Pros: Light-weight, advanced features
Cons: Bad reception, not too durable

I recently signed up for a sprint pcs contract. At first I purchased the new motorola timeport phone that came with the computer hook up. I thought this phone was going to be great. At the price I paid, it should have been. The problems that I found...

Pros: Solid Motorola Design. Great Features. Excellent Reception with a reliable provider.
Cons: Flips open while in rotating holster if not careful.

I recall Motorola's early cell phones, those bricks which looked like NASA Communication units! This latest creation is a gem. I like the multi color black screen display as well as the multi-color service light. There are phones made by Nokia which...

Pros: It's sleek and light weight
Cons: some might not like antenna and small buttons,its better then you would think

I wanted a cell phone so I started checking out websites and info on different service providers and phones. After hearing what friends and family had to say about Sprint PCS, I decided to go and check out what they have to offer. No one I talked to had...

Pros: Nice Looking
Cons: Paint chips off phone

I bought the 8767 for the looks and size. I have had almost every digital StarTac for CDMA. This one is nice to look at but my biggest problem is that the silver paint chips off the phone. I have had eight 8767's all with one problem or another. Squeeky...

Pros: good looking, light weight
Cons: small screen, bad reception, antana is unconvinient, breaks easily, low battery life

Althought a lot of American consumers know motorola, other people from asia and europe aren't as really familiar with it. You want to know why right? well heres why, even though the cell phone may look good, light and portable, It has low battery life,...

Pros: Light weight, nice belt clip, clear display, excellent battery.
Cons: Old base charger doesn't accept the phone (batteries still charge)

This is a great phone. This is now my second StarTac. I have to say, over the older (black) StarTacs, this battery life kicks butt! I can go almost 2-3 days on the battery (if I have few phone calls), 1-2 is I use it moderately.

...

Pros: Organic Color Display, Style, Ease of use
Cons: Durability of Product,

I've owned this phone for about 10 months now, and i'm writing a review to go over the long term vices and virtues of this phone.

I don't use a case for it, just the click in semi-case that came with it, so these issues may not affect a normal...

Pros: Lightweight, readable display, vibrating
Cons: No voice dial, I really miss that . . .

I just bought this phone - my choice was primarily driven by the fact that I signed up for Verizon cellular service (for reasons outlined in another review) and this was the one I liked out of the choices I had.

So far I'm very happy - it is...

Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: See review body.

This phone is expensive. Which would be fine if it had solid construction and fancy gadgets. It doesn't. It is flimsy, the paint comes off, the reception is dubious at best. I dropped it ~ 6" onto the carpeted floor of my car and now the power button works intermittently. The display washes out in bright lighting also. The "long list of features" are pretty much standard fare for any phone I've ever seen. On the upside, the menu and functionality are quite good. The lay out is good, although the buttons are a a bit small. I can't wait for my current contract to finish so I can get a new phone.
