General Comments
Temperamental Phone with its own personality
This phone has been a nightmare. The phone has turned itself off several times without any warning. There are times when I dial out and am waiting to be connected when I discover that the phone has shut off. Also, the phone also has a tendency to "freeze," meaning that the phone would lock and the only way to turn it off (or do anything else) would require the removal of the battery. Atleast the phone warns you before it drops your calls (Although, I don't think this warning is an intentional feature created by Motorola). There usually is a quick beep/ buzz before the phone drops your call. The advertised standby and talktime are strictly that- advertised. I have yet to see the phone live up to the paperwork. Initially, I thought that these problems were unique to my phone. However, I soon learned that a friend of mine, who had the same model, experienced many of the same problems. When I took the phone into Bell Atlantic/ Verizon, I was informed that the phone had to be sent away for approx 2-3 weeks.
Caveat Emptor!
