5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice phone., August 23, 2003

By A Customer

1. My phone takes 25 seconds to turn on, from the moment I press the power button until I get to the main menu. Other reviewers have claimed that it takes their phone 1.5 minutes to boot up, I am not experiencing this problem.

2. The phone is *VERY* light weight. And although it is light weight, it still seems sturdy and doesn't have that "cheap plastic" feel as some other phones do (such as Nokia). Compared to other phones (such as Nokia) this phone is above average in sturdiness, and is equal or lighter in weight to any other phone I have ever handled.

3. The screen is very nice. The colors are bright and the screen is very large. Some reviewers have said that the screen is not as bright as other phones. When I first got my phone I noticed that it did look a bit "washed out". I went into the preferences and adjusted the contrast from 3 to 4, and this helped quite a bit, now the colors look very nice. Some people complaining about the screen colors and brightness may want to set their contrast to 4 or 5.

4. The ringtones are plenty loud enough, both the standard rings and the polyphonic "megaring" tones are loud. You can also adjust the ring mode to either "loud" or "soft", then you can fine-tune the volume on a scale from 1-10. The ring mode is nice because you can very quickly and very easily lower or raise the volume without having to go through adjusting the volume one notch at a time. There is also a silent, vibrate, and silent+vibrate mode.

5. This is a very nice looking phone. I spent about a month shopping around, both looking for a good deal and trying to chose a phone. I looked at a lot of other phones on the internet, but nothing really helped me decide until I went into a cell phone store and checked them out in person. After actually checking out a real working phone in the store, and also comparing it to some other phones, I decided to get this phone. My opinion is that this phone is, without a doubt, the best phone on the market as of August 2003. But dont take my word for it, and dont base your opinion by looking at pictures and reading the "specs", go to a cell phone store and check them out in person. It is amazing how nice a phone will look in pictures but will feel like a cheap piece of plastic once you see it in person (such as some Nokias and Sony/Ericsson phones). Don't get me wrong, there are some nice Nokias and Sony/Ericsson phones out there, but I would say most of them are junk compared to this phone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Competitive Color Phone, August 19, 2003

By 

Darius Fath-Azam (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola T722i Phone with Camera Attachment (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

Well I just got this phone the other day and heres my immediate thoughts. Great price for the package (color screen, flip, camera, free headset, very useable belt clip). To go into detail, the color screen is good but not great. A friend of mine has the Sanyo 4900 and the color screen on that looks clearer during less light conditions but not as nice in highly lighted conditions. The headset works fine. The reception is 3 bars upstairs in my house and 2 bars downstairs. Call quality is better than the previous phones I have owned (old sprint one, and motorola startac). Changeable faceplates gives the phone a customizable touch. Ring tones sound a bit fuzzy with the phone open it seems but when shut sound fine. A very odd variety of ring tones as well. To sum up:

Pros:
Customizable
Clear Quality of Calls
Variety of Ring Tones
Belt Clip
Voice Dialing

Cons:
Color screen in darker settings
Lack of variety of actual background pictures.
Needs more memory.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK...not that great!, June 10, 2003

By A Customer

I have both this phone and the Sony Ericsson T68i and the latter is a lot better. The Motorola's screen has poor resolution. The colors seem pretty washed out compared to the T68i. Also, the T722i is very slow. It takes over 1-2 minutes to boot up when you power on and it takes the same amount of time to load the included game. The camera attachment gives poor results compared to some of the other camera-based cell phones such as the Samsung. It works poorly unless there is tons of light and even then, the picture quality is mediocore. I'm not impressed by this phone. the battery life is good (lasts 3-4 days with 2 hrs of talking per day and no charging). It comes with a nice belt clip. If you're looking to buy this because of the free camera attachement, get another phone (such as the T68i for free and buy the camera attachment for $19 on any auction site).
