how can u pple say shit bout this phone, it is 7 years old!!! i bought the newer version the australian version, it was a great phone, until it got droped, by last year its antenna had fallen off, the badge where it says motorola started to loose its black paint and became gold everywhere, the phones battery is f***ed thats the only reason i changed phones, you cant say there was anything better at the time because this was the classic true flipphone and it will always be a classic i will never sell mine, the phone is worthless, but it beats phones made even years after it, this is less faults than my 8210, 8250 which both screens have broken, due to nokiaz faults which they would of fixed but they gave out no notice and i found out after. all the volume buttons have broken etc, i have to take off the case to turn off and on the fone. this fone has none of those troubles. if only this fone didnt stuff up with the batt. i would still use it great fone changed the world i rekon, so small yet soo old as seen on the perfect murder movie.

One of the best 'phones you can buy if you just need a good 'phone without all the 'Bells & Whistles.' Fixes SIM card problems experienced with StarTAC 75+ (see my review) and SAR level is only fractionally higher. Overall rating 8/10

Hello All,
I mistakenly bought this cellphone last year same time.The cellphone
has good looks but the battery life and the capturing of Signals is very
poor.So I suggest you all never to buy Motorola cellphones,especially
STARTAC.Take this as a humble advice.Now I use this phone as a
paper weight

Kind Regards,
Sreekesh Krishnan

The phone is definitely grt, i love the reception..it works even in elevators!!
only painful scenario being the absence of a reply feature for sms...damn u gotta keep memorizing the no. to which u gotta reply.
also, not too robust, I have had to repair it twice, once for the display and once for the keypad.

je pense que motorola startac est meilleur que tout le reste des portables utilisé par moi. Je souhaite obtenir de la part vos services de ventes un autre car le premier a été volé. Actuellement j'utilise un nokia 3310 qui ne me satisfait pas autant.
