... Fortunately, with this phone it’s all pretty simple – just dial the number and press the green button (assuming that you haven’t locked your keypad). If you press the green button without having entered a number, you’ll find yourself presented with a list of your 10 most recently dialled numbers. This is particularly useful if you have to redial someone – saves wear and tear on the fingers as well as preventing you screwing up the number when you redial. It is possib...more

Motorola Timeport 280: So many features, so little time! (2020 words)

The Motorola Timeport T280 is really a phone aimed at business users rather than the "yoof" market. It has many features that seem designed for this audience, and I (despite being a "business user") use hardly any of them, ingrate that I am. Since my company provided the phone for me to use, I really don’t know about its price or availability either. So, what can I tell you about then…? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How does it feel? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The phone is heavier than many that are newer to the market, but it is also larger. It feels remarkably sturdy and ... Read the complete review

Motorola 280 (GPRS) & 270c (CDMA US). (2423 words)

As my regular readers know, I am lucky to have the opportunity to trial many new phones before they hit the street. Although I normally wait to post my reviews until the actual equipment if firmly on the US market, the uniqueness of Motorola's Timeport 280/270c US prompted me to discuss this phone during its early deployment to the market. Currently there is only one carrier in the country that sells the 280/270c US (Alltel), however, other CDMA digital carriers are soon to follow in marketing this phone to the public. Unique New Feature What prompted my interest early on in the Timeport 280/270c US was the use of Bluetooth technology for the first ... Read the complete review

Motorola Timeport 280: Great little GPRS phone, one big weakness (534 words)

The Motorola Timeport 280 is a great little GPRS phone with some nice features. GPRS, big, legible display screen, easy text/wap navigation, etc. But one big weakness that makes me decided I'll return it shortly to take advantage of Vodafone's 14 day cooling off period. The weakness is that it comes without software to help it communicate with my computer -- and said software is limited to TrueSync, which has to be bought separately. Until I do that, I can't use it with the computer. Since that was the biggest feature I bought it for, I do feel a little cheated and miffed. What's more, every single accessory on the Motorola ...

This phone, while not as small or light as others, well makes up for its bulk by coming jam packed with features, such as: The ability to compose your own ring A voice recorder that records calls in progress or voicenotes Internet access SMS mesaaging Vibra-call Voice activated dialing (which unlike on some other phones almost always works on the first time) The tri-band reception is excellent, I have used my phone in America and where I now live in Israel. The charger came with adapters for European, UK, and Noth American currents and outlets. The battery time is quite reasonable, and it can be put on a battery saving mode while still ...
