Motorola Phones Software Problems
I have had the Motorola T720 for the last year and a half and had to exchange in about 3 times because of the service problems with my phone ! The reps keep telling me that this phones software is not compatible with Cingular service and thats the problem....IS this true ?? Also do you think its wise to go with another Motorola as my next phone(which would you recommend?) or should I just go back to Nokia or another brand ?? I live in Baltimore and my Cingular service is not the best so I dont know if its the phone or the service itself too.....

I have a Motorola V551 for use with Cingular and it works great. I'm in the NYC metro area, but was in the DC/VA area last week and it worked there as well with no problem.
...
I work for Cingular in the Philly area, but I frequently go down to DC and northern Virginia... I have a NOKIA 6230 and I have no issues... My husband have a Motorola V400 and he has no issues... Not to ever speak badly of a phone that we put out ( 😲 ) bt the Motorola T720 in the Philadelphia area has consitantly ranked out as the worst phone ever. 😢

the motorola t720 is a heap. your only hope is to do a "master reset" on the phone. make sure you are turning your phone off at least every other day. there is a firmware upgrade that will fix the problem with current motorola clamshells, but the t720 will not get such an upgrade. if the master reset doesn't work, get a new phone entirely.

I used a t730 with Verizon for a while and had no problems, and a friend had a t720 with Cingular and had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I think we'd both say that we actually liked the phones (except for the...

Well, in all honestly, it's no secret that in the past motorola came out with some pretty crappy equipment. They were plages with bugs, and were completely unreliable. If you got one that worked it was solely by chance. To my understanding, the GSM side (Cingular/ATT/T-Mobile) than did the CDMA/TDMA side had (Verizon, Sprint etc...). However, recently Motorola has been making one hell of a valiant effort to improve it's product, and they've been marketing them like crazy. They for the most are being sold at moderate-low prices, and are just jam packed with features. They don't have everything down just yet, but they have most certainly made much needed improvements, and the reliability factor has been steadily increasing. Unfortunately, I mu...

Or better yet, try your hand with a different manufacturer. I'm personally doubtful of a company that continues to use the same awful charger ports that demonstrably poop out long before they should--it shows a lack of ability to learn from mistakes. Go with a different maker, come back to Moto when they've figured it out...

Yeah, we always would ask if someone had "the peanut phone" if they didn't know what model it was... of course, "My phone won't hold a charge, I talk for two minutes and the battery goes out, it beeps all the time," was usually a dead giveaway from jump... 🤣
