The Motorola T720i with camera

This Motorola T720i with camera review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it doesn't constitute an actual hands-on review. It outlines the strong and weak points of the Motorola T720i with camera. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Motorola T720i with camera analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and given the fact that manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.

  • (+) Weight and Size: The Motorola T720i with camera weighs only 3.56 oz. This is relatively lighter than many ther phones and should make it comfortable to carry around
  • (+) Camera: It features a camera (free extension that attaches to the bottom of the phone), which is not necessary but may be convenient or fun and make your experience better.

  • (-) Phone Book: It only stores 100 phone book entries, which is sufficient for the casual cell phone user but, if you have many business contact or friends, this may not be enough for you. Look for phones with more contacts.
  • (-) Built-in Speakerphone: It doesn't feature a built-in speakerphone, yet, a speakerphone is useful in some situations and it's important to know that many other phones do have a built-in speakerphone.

  • (+) Battery Performance: It has a maximum rated standby time of 230 hours and a talk time of 390 minutes, which is above average and should be sufficient for most users.
  • (+) Color Display: The color display's color mode is 4,096 colors CSTN graphic color display, 120 x 160 pixels and its resolution is unknown. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.
  • (-) Analog Roaming: It doesn't support analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).
  • (-) Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.
  • (-) Infrared: It doesn't include an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola T720i with camera.
  • (+) Text Messaging: It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This will be useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.
  • (-) Voice Note: It doesn't have a voice note system. A voice note system is quite useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.
  • (+) Free Custom Ringtones: . It seems to support ringtone customization in a do-it-yourself manner, but we recommend double-checking. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
