Motorola T720

I have had this phone for about 6 years and it has served me well. It needs replacing at this point and I just hate to give it up.

I had the Motorola T720 less than 6 months and the hinge just broke while I was in the middle of a call. I was told it would cost $200 to fix the phone when that's how much it cost to buy it in the first place. I didn't abuse the phone. Their is no reason it should have broken the way it did.

Can not stress enough how bad the Motorola T720 is. Do not on any account buy it. Expected better of Motorola but they obviously left something out of this phones main circuit!

It all starts going horribly wrong after about 6 months.

As above I am delighted with my T720. I have not had any of the problems as above. I do agree it can get dust under that screen, but that is simple to fix, take off the cover and use a blower-brush to clean it!

Motorola T720 - Do not ever buy this phone. If you talk for 35 minutes, you (or your party) will have to call at least seven times. The signal starts fading (no, it's not the actual signal, it's the phone itself) after about 5 minutes. Then it will get disconnected. It will make you so embarrassed as if you are talking from some old village town. The keys are not very user-friendly either. It will take you an hour to find your own phone number. Everything has been made so complicated that you would just wonder why you ever bought this phone. Don't go for it.

I love the lightweight flip design of the Motorola T720 mobile phone- just open and talk. And when you're done, just flip to hang up.

The alarm is great - if I'm cooking a meal and have to leave for a bit, it will remind me when my food is ready.

Great reception.

I've never lost a call.

The color screen is clear and colorful, but when the sun shines on it it is hard to see.

I used to have a Motorola 120 and it had the best cell reception of the 5 cell phones in my family. And this Motorola T720 is better than that one!

I read all the negative reviews, but I don't really agree with their negativity. My phone doesn't have problems with reception (that's the best part about it) and it's battery can stay charged for a whole long weekend.

Avoid the Motorola T720 phone at all costs. I have encountered numerous problems, as summarized above, and Motorola has refused to honor heir warranty obligations based upon a specious and inaccurate claim of "liquid damage," despite the statement of a Cingular technician (after visual inspection and testing) that no such damage was in any way evident. (The tech further informed me that Motorola appears to routinely deny warranty claims on this basis).

First, I think it is very interesting that all the negative reviews on this site score negative on 'respect.'Is Motorola the only one that takes the time to rate these things?

I've had my Motorola T720 mobile phone for 1.5 years and have had the same troubles as reported here and elsewhere. I decided not to return my phone while it was under warrantee for fear that I would get an even worse phone in the exchange. Now that my warantee has expired, my phone has gotten even worse.

On the positive side, I hear there is a software upgrade that will solve a lot of these problems. Check with your service provider for the upgrade.

The Motorola T720 is by far the worst mobile phone I have ever had. I've had it for a year and both chargers have failed on me (I keep getting an "Unable to Charge" error now), the battery life is nowhere near a full day, reception is miserable - calls drop for no reason - and the thing turns itself off if I look at it in the wrong way. It's slow and unresponsive. My Samsung phone was better than this piece of junk. I can only say that I am now back in the market looking for another phone. Stay away from this one and shame on Motorola for even putting this on the market the way it is. Their Q/A group must have been gutted during all the layoffs.

I am glad to see that other people share my frustration with this Motorola T720 mobile phone. I have had it replaced once, and decided not to get it replaced again for fear of losing my phonebook and ring tones. And then I have to wait till my plan runs out until I can buy a new phone at a decent price. Although the phone is small and fits easily to my jeans pocket, it is not worth the hassle. It randomly shuts off even when it is fully charged, the battery does not last long at and now for some reason, I can't get service in places I have always gotten service in.
