So funny the other day, right, I was really bored, so I watched an old video tape of some shows, taped back in 1997-1998, and there was an ad showing this phone, and it said it was the thinnest phone in the world, I laughed so hard :P

How to get the Manual for this phone:
1. Go to http://direct.motorola.com/hel...to/index.htm
2. DO NOT SELECT YOUR "REAL" COUNTRY! You should pick "United Kingdom", otherwise you will not get a full list of phone choices. Now click the orange button next to the country selection box. This takes you to next page.
3. Click the "support" button on the top right hand corner of the page.
4. Now look on the left hand side of the new page ... there should be an orange colored menu... one of the options there is "manuals"... click on this!!!
5. Now, "select category" = "all phones"
6. Select Model = "StarTac 130"
7. Select Language = "English" - only one they have!
8. Click the big orange OK button.
9. You now have bad pdf of manual!!!
Enjoy.

Again, I love this phone. It was the only one that survived many a cold winter at Cornell, and being dropped at least 400 times in the 4 years that I had it. Please someone start a petition to Motorola and have them just add the GPS to the phone so that all of the faithful can resume worship of this magnificent phone!

It is a crime that Motorola can't or won't make a phone this nice anymore. It is the best phone I have ever owned, excellent sound quality, easy to read display even in sunlight. I am on my 3rd & last one & I am dreading the day this one dies & I have to replace it.

Actually, MY understanding of the Patriot Act is that companies were required, as of about 2004, to ensure that 95% of all cell'phones have positioning electronics in'em. NOT 100%. I'm not sure that the P/A specifies that 'phone companies CANNOT activate such a legacy 'phone, given that they have the required 95%. I think that it's the usual marketing hype - buy a new 'phone, buy a new play. I am in fact looking for a late-model Motorola GSM Startac - I'm overseas - BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT current SIMMS are compatable with it. Anyone know? Thanks. MWH

Today 2/25/06 Verizon advised that by law they cannot program my back-up Startac 130 due to the lack of GPS per the phone. My 130 is DOA.
I have other "new" phones for the business but nothing I have ever used compares with the Star. I dislike all the bells and whistles on the new phones.
I have appreciated a phone that has worked well for almost 8 years.......Thank you Motorola but PLEASE bring the original Star 130 back into production and back to the USA for us to enjoy.

if this phone is bought, no one will activate it since it is against federal law to do so. this phone must have GPS tracking installed or it will never be activated by any business in the US.

I would like to buy a working startac 130 that was produced for the 1998 jaguar, model xj8, this phone has the jaguar logo on it and was programmed by jaguar to work hands free from controls located on the steering wheel.
Thankx in advance,

Verizon office said they would NOT activate StarTAC phones, due to federal law, because they do not have GPS (global position) necessary for 911 calls. If you know a work around, please reply.

I just bought a startac for Alltel used. The startac was the best working phone I ever owned. I didn't know you could buy preowned like that from a website!? I still have all the accessories, including the hands free speakerphone/radio transmitter/charger. Oh well, the startac rides again. I hope they bring it back to the states like they did in Korea, minus the ridiculous price...
