I have quite a few of them sittin in the trunk dating back from when I first started using them, but I have recently encountered an expensive dilemma. I am a frequent cell-phone user, so I am not really inconvenienced by the high price of the ones that I use. About a month or two ago I purchased the Nokia 7210 with a new contract. It was a solid phone but I had a slight problem with calls being dropped. That and the oddly shaped buttons on the phone were the only setbacks that I encountered. I ended up losing this phone (which I later found) so I went back to the store and I purchased the Motorola T720.
I was originally going to get this Motorola phone before I got the Nokia, but I chose not to because of the negative feedback I received from the store employee. After I lost my Nokia I purchased it anyway because I wanted to get the feel of a flip-phone, and because it was equipped with twice the options including one of the biggest color screens any phone has to offer. Having second thoughts after I purchased the phone, I went on the computer to check out some cell phone review sites. Much to my dismay, I found an enormous amount of negative reviews on the phone. I have yet to encounter any severe problems (some recently dropped calls), but most of the bad reviews came from people who owned the phone for a long period of time, all the good reviews from new users. No more then a week later I found my old Nokia phone and I just can't decide which one to use. The T720 cost $285 (I paid $327 out the door with equipment), and the Nokia cost flat out $350 naked, as is (I paid less with my new contract, obviously). Needless to say, I need to get rid of one of them because that's a hefty sum of money that I could use.
These seem to be two of the most popular high-end phones on the market, so I want to ask everyone's opinion, to those that have used one or both of them.
For those that know these phones:
• What do you think about them (bad or good)?
• Which would/do you prefer over the other, why?
For those that have had them for a while:
• Have you experienced any noticeable decrease in quality of any aspect of the phone?
If you have a phone other then one of these, or know of one that you can highly recommend, let it be known, peace.
