    Good Points: I have had this phone for 6 years now and never had a problem. I've even accidentally thrown it across a parking lot without causing it any damage.


    Bad Points: This phone can't handle some of the text messages that are over the word limit (ie. long enough to cost the sender the cost of two or more texts). It will scramble the last part of these texts however you can still sort of get the gist of them.


    General comments: The timeport is a true testament to time travel! People now sometimes ask me if I'm holding a cordless home phone given the multitude of mobile technology and appearance changes over the years. Needless to say the size isn't that much bigger than some newer phones and people often soon acknowledge that their newer phones seem to have problems and often need upgrading at least every 12 months.The worst problem I've had was when the battery connectors needed cleaning..

    I have to start by saying that even this phone is almost 2 years old (as concept, not manufacture) I was impressed by the "feel" of it!
    I used to love the motorolas 4 years ago but since then they stuck to OOOLLD technology and a variety of bricks that no1 wants anymore!Let's face it!They r waaaay behind...still!
    Even after releasing all these new phones still siemens or even alcatel gives them class!
    About the t260!VERY good finishing, EXCELLENT keyboard for wap and writing!I was amased by h ...

    I've had one of these 'phones for two years now and it seems to just lose connection to the network randomly. To get it back I have to manually scan for networks. The screen size is just too small for me without glasses on (although this is probably more my eyesight deteriorating) and is difficult to see in low light conditions. I like the Motorola user interface (having always had Motorolas) but I won't be buying another after this.

    I totally agree with most reviews - avoid this phone ! Actually, I'll avoid all Motorola phones from now on ! I still own a 6 year old Nokia 5110 (dirt cheap), and prefers it over the Timeport by far !!!

    The interface for this Motorola Timeport 260 mobile phone is simply designed by a monkey. Everything takes forever and is not easy to remember. There is no alarm clock.

    The only reason I bought this phone is because it was one of the only triband phones then available with Vodaphone. Almost immediately the battery began to run down after a day or so. The reception has always been poor. After ten months the screen pixellated. I was given a replacement phone which also developed a fault. The ph ...

    Generally the Motorola Timeport 260 is a very useful tool and I would encourage the company to improve more on its size and also increase the window size for browsing purposes.

    This is a good phone. I like the voice dialing, i like the voice notes. It's a mature and professional phone. The games are replaced by voice notes which allow up to 3 minutes of recorded notes. Good technology, such as the ability to switch from US 1900mhz to european 900/1800mhz network with the click of a button replaces pretty covers on other phones.

    Overall, I would recommend this phone to anyone. If you travel to europe or the usa a lot. this is the phone that you can take anywhere. ...

    I am using the Motorola Timeport 260 mobile phone for almost 4 months. A GPRS phone from the great motorola should be equipped with far more helpful functions that any mobile. It should be equipped with an organizer, alarm,...etc. so the mobile becomes a mobile data center: not just a mobile. Also the software should be more user friendly. It never hangs such as N.... a reliable phone. I am not looking for logos and ring tones but motorola ring tones never change since years and are very limited ...

    I just purchased the Timeport 260 mobile phone in Singapore yesterday as a result of my frustration with my Nokia 6210. The 6210 was a wonderful gadget to play and work with... except that it kept on hanging and failing. And finally, after just four months of use, it finally decided to die. The Nokia sevice center has had no success resurrecting it for more than 24 hours (it's still there in their intensive care unit - with all the technicians etc, it was a cute piece of junk).
    Back to the ...

    People, I don't know how often you change your phones or how much they cost in the UK, but here in Serbia they are really cheap ( NOKIA 6210 is about 200EURO -only a phone with no contract; MOTOROLA T250 is about 150 EURO......), so I changed a lot of phones. NOKIA has the simplest menu, but that don't mean anything for me. MOTOROLA has a bit more complicated menu, but this is no problem because you can be sure that the phone is really good. Most people who uses NOKIA are between 16 and 21 year ...

    I must admit I never got into the WAP side of the Motorola Timeport due to the small screen size and difficult back lighting.
    I still like the business like appearance and superb clarity of voice calls and lack of dead spots.

    Just get that interface fixed Motorola

    Excuse me MOT, but this phones interface is rubbish, plain and simple.

    If ANY of your product developers EVER used a Nokia they would all have to curl up and die of shame realising the staggering ineptitude of what they had unleashed on the 260

    It is quite simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

    I would NEVER recommend it to anyone.

    It is awful.

    TRY AGAIN - stay behind after class and write 1000000 times

    "I SHOULD PLAY WITH A NOKIA AND THEN RE-WRITE THE TIMEPORT USER INTERFACE - SORRY"
