Motorola T720 (Verizon Wireless)

The Motorola T720 series (depends on the carrier) is like many Motorola phones - revolutionary. The T720 / T720i was really the first uber-popular phone to do much of what is now common - text message, internet browse, color / animated screen, voice recognition, good ring tones, etc etc. But like the startac - once everyone else caught up, the T720 / T720i quickly became antiquated if you will. Just a couple years later, the phone appears a tad bulky and doesn't have some of the hippest features (ie an internal camera - though there an attachment camera). They are available at great prices on eBay - so if price is a factor for you, this is a winner. But here are my pros and cons:

pros:
* Completely customizable - cases, anetennas, etc. The T720 / T720i can be personalized unlike any other phone. This is a sweet plus!
* Great prices available on eBay
* All of the necessary phone capabilities
* Motorola's classic interface

cons:
* Major Con: If you talk enough, the clamshell / flip-phone will break! The hinge is very weak and twice gave out on me. Now I didn't treat it overly well, but be warned!
* A tad bulky by today's measures
* Collects lint farely well

In general - its no longer the hippest phone. But the T720 / T720i is a certainly capable.
