| jagundo's Full Review: Motorola Timeport P8767 Cell Phone |
It has been a while that I had not taken time to write about a product. Though, this is one I have to make an exception for.
I will begin by saying that it was about time Motorola stepped up to the plate. With all the competition going on and the whole internet thing, I was sure Motorola would stay way behind, or at least for a long time. One of the latest products know as the Timeport 8767, to my opinion, should be an industry standard. As most always wonder, the reception is great, still considering that it is a cellular and it will vary depending on where you may currently be located. Another thing to remember is the service provider, well that is a whole opinion on it's own. Practically, this phone can do anything you want it to do and I do mean anything. Now follow me closely, as I will explain...............
1) Phone Book memory is amazing. No longer do you need to use several memory location to store multiple number (pager, office, home, etc...) for the same person. Just select one location and you can store up to 4 number for that person, and each can be identified by an icon display.
2) The usual Built-In Mini-browser. Access Directions, Stock quotes, Airline information, and any non graphical data. So you saying, what's so different about that? How about getting it in color!!!
3) The Smart Button will simplify accessing feature menus, scrolling, selecting functions and placing calls. Also for when answering a call while using the hands-free kit. Great Idea!
4) Short Messaging Service, also know as SMS can receive and store short alphanumeric messages, email messages, etc. You get the point.
There are many other nice features like, personalized banner, internal charging capabilities, vibra/ring call options or both at the same time, nice huh! How about an amazing 210 minutes of continuous talk time with about 160 HOURS of standby time. Plus a bunch of standard, everyday features.
There is lots to say about this phone, but like everything, there is are some negatives. The phones' housing is painted silver which does not last very long and chips easily. The phone also feels kind of cheap, specially with the flip open. Always being careful not to break it in half. Also, When the antenna is retracted, it stick out like a sore thumb, not pleasant looking at all.
Overall, regardless of the many nice features with some minor negatives, the phone is well over priced. Don't take me wrong, I love the phone and it's features, nice clarity and looks. Though, they should have done something for the more economical person.
