The first phone I got is Motorola 5200 and i still keep it and still working, only the battery that is damaged. Then I use Startac85, it felt good, small and lightweight. And the third I use the L series, I love the voice dialing and voice notes who owned L series. Great phone at that time .....

This is the best looking, elegant cellphone ever made!
Today it looks like still special, rare and hot!
I have 8 startacs (and, for example 3200, 8200, 8700 etc), all working and look almost unworn, with strong main and aux batteries.
Nowadays I use startac day by day. :-)

WHat I love in this fone is the ZOOM capability of its camera w/c 20 megapixels, with auto focus btw.
Great strong wifi b/g/n.
Blue tooth is updated at 4.5
With a resistive touch screen w/c is small at only 2" btw, what a waste
good fone AAAAAA plus!

I'm think of buying a StarTac. My question is would my sim-card work?

I loved the StarTAC when it was introduced, which is why I invented the StarCAP. I wanted to make it more durable and pocketable. I'm happy to see I wasn't alone.
