Motorola T250

I will openly admit that I am not an avid fan Motorola's, usually using them as a bookstand or a doorstop. But I have to admit (reluctantly) that Motorola are on the road to recovery with the launch of their T250 model. The phone itself has a stylish, futuristic look and feel to it (and for the benefit of Sexy Kay, yes you can make calls on it ;-) xxx). But the characteristic that draws the most attention is that the boys and girls at Motorola have introduced the greatly desired blue LCD screen (with many phone users still clambering after the legendary Nokia 8810). Once you actually start using the phone things actually go from good to better. ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Motorola about a year ago when I was in hot water: I was on the verge of losing my job. They needed a small excuse and so they were watching me pretty closely. For my part, I had to begin secret preparations for quitting, get in touch with employment agencies, the revive contacts with some people that might be of help, and, eventually, begin talks with potential employers. Under the circumstances, a mobile phone was indispensable. It did play a crucial part in helping me out of the mess. Before deciding on a model, a payment scheme and a provider company I consulted with: a) my colleagues who would demonstrate their cell phones in so an ostentatious ...  Read the complete review

The Motorola Timeport has been around for a while now. Aimed originally at the business market it has since been superceded by the T-280, so why bother reviewing it at all? Well, for people prepared to buy a slightly older phone (and we're talking less than a couple of years old here) there may well be a bargain to be had, especially if you can grab one in an end of range clearout or 2nd hand. At 130x46x23 it's not the smallest phone you could get, and Motorola admit this by including a belt clip (as well as a hands-free kit and some fancy computer stuff) in the package. The screen is a soothing blue and most menu control is by a little waggly ...  Read the complete review

You may have read my Timeport review. If you did you will understand that I really did not like that phone, however I am please to say that this phone is a vast improvement. I mean it's not great but it's getting better. The phone certainly looks more stylish, it comes in silver and looks kind of futuristic. It is certainly more aesthetically pleasing than it's predecessor. It also comes with a blue backlight screen. I'm not sure about the weight but it's similar, it is quite lightweight. The button layout on the new Motorola is very similar to the older versions of the handset only this time we have a new navi-roller style ...  Read the complete review

I was given my T250 by Cellnet as a free upgrade from a Nokia 6110. I wish I hadn't bothered. Its main benefits are that it has tri-band, useful in parts of South America and the US where I travel frequently, and in fact the main reason I got it. It also has a built in answering machine which means that you don't have to pay BT Cellnet's iniquitous outbound call charges, for example £2.98 a minute from Chile, and £0.99 from Europe. On the down side, the build quality is poor, the phone is light and flimsy, the user interface is the worst of anything I have ever owned, the user manual is an example of how not to write user ...  Read the complete review
