    Good Points: Call clarity and screen size. Also, it breaks into pieces quite nicely when you get fed up with all of the problems.


    Bad Points: Turns off randomly.
    Poor support from Motorola (they still refuse to admit that this phone has problems).


    General comments: After owning a Motorola T720i for several months it started turning itself off at random. I went in to the store to complain and another person there had the same problem. Motorola Customer Support said that was just a coincidence and there were no known issues with the phone. I sent it back for repair. It came back and the problem was not fixed. The first day back it turned itself off. I called Motorola again and they wanted me to send it in again. I told them I had done my part and was not going to go without a phone for two more weeks. They said it is probably the battery and sent me a new one. The problem still persisted and then a new problem came up with the ringer. It would ring and when I tried to answer it I could not. It would show "connected" but still was ringing. Sometimes it would not respond to any buttons and had to be power-cycled. I gave up, smashed the phone into little bits and bought a new one. I would not recommend a Motorola phone to anyone. This is the SECOND Motorola phone I have had problems with. I should have learned the first time. Shame on me.

    I have had my Motorola T720i for about a year and half now, and I must say I have had a few problems with it, but generally it has done the job it was made to do, ring people and text people.

    The good points to this phone is that it is quite stylish, being a flip phone and all, but I have found that it is easily scratched and so not for those of you who want a phone that is going to remain all clean and shiny. It is fairly easy to use, an easy navigation system and menu. The texting was diff ...

    I've had my Motorola T720i for a short while and already I'm feeling that I wished I never even looked at it, it's so unreliable. It's huge it doesn't fit in my pocket and is really heavy for a phone. It's camera feature is the worst I've seen everything looks like a big ball of fuzz.
    The pics already in the phone are disapointing.

    Don't use the phone for anything.

    Well it's rubbish. I bought a Motorola T720i because it was quite a big size (for my thumbs, a bit big). So I received it, charged it, played around with it for a while, seems ok...for now. Plugged in the camera, put it straight back in the box, luckily it was free. A few weeks into owning it, it started to be a bit temperamental (it turns its self off it freezes it doesn't ring the ringtones change randomly and in volume). Basically it is riddled with bugs and I wouldn't recommend this to so ...

    I had my Motorola T720i for about 6 months. I wanted a phone that had a flip front and a camera so I was pleased when I was offered it free with my monthly tariff upgrade. I got mine from O2 website but I have seen them available for all types of prices, from £50 - £180, all over the place. Ebay seems to be a good place to look!

    When it arrived my pleasure became a delight. The small shiny little phone with colour screen and flip cover. It also has a screen on the top of the phon ...

    I certainly haven't had as bad an experience with this phone as most others seem to.
    To get bad points out the way, yes, the camera quality is a little poor, but remember the technology is now over a year old so obviously newer phones have improvements. The ability to only store 10 received messages is the most annoying thing!!! Plus, because the camera is stored as an extra, it leaves very little space for downloaded games.
    I've never had random alarms, etc. I use it every morning - never let ...

    I have owned this Motorola T720i mobile phone for about 11 months now and I am counting down the days till the end of my contract. I have never been so disappointed with a phone.

    For a heavy texter this is stupid, it takes 9 button pushes to select the recipient of a text before you can even enter the message.

    Basically, see the summary of bad points and multiply by 10. Very irratating phone.

    Oh, and if it breaks on warranty...it took Motorola about 7 weeks to send a returns pack to m ...

    This Motorola T720i truly is the worst mobile phone I have ever owned. How it has not been recalled is beyond me. The ring tones are often too quite to hear, and the phone will sometimes just break for no reason. Mine's been in the repair shop twice much to no avail. If you want my opinion, don't just not buy this phone, NEVER buy Motorola. They are the worst most unreliable phones on the market

    I originally had a NOKIA 3330 and I loved it. I fancied a change, SILLY ME. This Motorola T720i is the worst mobile phone I have ever had.

    Motorolla should definitely recall this phone it is total rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My next phone will be the Nokia 7200 when it is available. I will never go away from Nokia again.

    At first I also thought the Motorola T720i was really cool. Heck, I loved it. Until I started to really notice its capabilities and not judge it's look. The ring tones are way way to soft, can't even hear it on max when driving my car with the radio on just a little, and the car is pretty quiet. Don't know if its just me, but the screen goes wack every once in a while... I say, this phone is horrible, worst one I ever bought, I prefered my t300 by sony ericsson better. Even my nokia 3390 w ...

    At first I thought this was a neat phone, but once I started using it, it is the WORST phone I have ever had.

    I am disappointed with the support from Motorola. I think this phone should be recalled and replaced with something that works.

    DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL PHONE -- YOU WILL BE SORRY!!

    Motorola T720i is a truely a pathetic phone. i just couldn't believe how horrible, quiet and creeky the ring tones sounded. The screen goes invisible if its not tilted 90 degres. This phone still retails for £170 with the camera attachment. One other thing i must mention is this phone is huge its the largest flip phone ive seen since the year 2000. The key pad looks retro and ugly. Motorola v500 is selling for £180 which is miles better so this leaves the t720i surplus to requiremen ...

    Ok, I posted a review a few weeks ago on this phone. Ignore it completely, I must have been drunk. Well actually I've been using one for 4 days now, and now can safely say that it is unwise to get a Motorola T720i. I've now had three motorolas now, and none of them had any user friendly menus. Nokia still have the very user-friendly and easy-use menu. They are (or at least were) up to date with the latest features. On this phone, you can only store voice tags to names if you store the name to th ...

    Look, dont buy the Motorola T720i mobile phone. Take my word on this its rubbish. The camera is absolutely useless, the predictive text unintelligable, the features basic, the ringtones low, scratchy and the display is extremely disappoinitng. Without a doubt this is the worst phone I have ever had. It has more crashes per week than Formula One and is way too fragile.

    I work at Phones4u, so I tend to try out many new handsets. At first sight, this handset didn't look as nice as the Samsung T100. The T100 has a much nicer shape, the external screen is nice and the keypad looks more stylish. The Motorola T720i on the other hand looks very basic. Even the old A300 is a bit more up to date with style. Apart from that, the phone has a nice 'feel' to it, not as uncomfortable as other phones of the same design. It's not too light, which is a good thing, or it gives ...
