The Cellar - View Single Post - Sycamore's new playtoy: Motorola T720 wireless phone

Syc showed me this phone in person when he stopped by my place for a little computer work.

I rarely have phone envy but let me tell you, this thing is the shit.

The design is great. The flip, the buttons, the display all come together very well. The display is amazingly bright. The secondary display on the outside for status and caller-id is convenient.

I have been utterly skeptical of text messaging. But when Syc pulled out the phone and selected a quickie message of something like "I'll be ten minutes late" to Lady Syc without having to do any typing, suddenly it made perfect sense. We barely had to stop our own conversation and he had sent an important note with ease.

I'm on the "new every 2" plan and while I love my current phone, this Moto has me thinking, and at least happy that they are continuing to really push the envelope on this stuff. It's a lot of fun.
