Review: I mostly agree with what has been said above. There are some things which i don't like about this phone.1) Battery life. It would last a week for me (and that's with only one call a day). 2) Ringer loudness. I work in a noisy enviroment, and with my t721, i could not hear the ringer (even when it was set to the maximum). 3) Durability. The screen has cracked on my phone, and just from having it on my belt. If you don't care about these things, the t721 is a great phone for you.

Summary: A dependable phone with amazing features
Review: Some of these people's reviews are true at some points, thats why I've given this phone 4 stars instead of 5. This phone is more fragile than the typical cell phone, if you need a phone that you're going to take to parties or to school if you're a student like me you should go for the Motorola V60i. However, this phone's advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. The color scrent on the T721 is larger and more defined than any other phone you could buy for this amount of money. It's downloadable games and ringtones are amazing. But the best thing about the phone is that it simply LOOKS COOL. The phone is a great conversation starter and really impresses people. The menu is something you can easily get used to after your first few calls. Another cool thing about this phone is its numerous interchangable covers so you can further customize your Motorola T721. This is a great phone and a terrific buy for this amount of money.

Summary: Excellent phone
Review: I bought this phoen at my local radio shack for 45 dollars, 100 after the activations and stuff. I was suprised to find such a cheap flip phone with a color screen. Its got many features such as voice activated dialing, color screen, games, 500 number phone book, and even, get this, a voice recorder.
I reccomend anyone who doesn't need a camera phone, but likes flip phones with color screens, buy one.

Summary: Motorola T721
Review: I bought this phone using Verizon's service last January. As a late Christmas gift for myself. I have to admit. I loved it. The first 3 weeks I had it. Then it became the biggest pain. It stopped functioning properly. The screen constantly froze up. The buttons continuously kept freezing. And if you have nail, (any ladies out there) then forget about this phone. If you hit the hot keys at the top of the key pad, especially the top right one, then you are defiantly going to hit the tiny button, canceling out the screen. It gets so annoying when your putting a number into your phone and instead of finishing it up, you cancel the entire thing out.
I'm just saying, this is one of Motorola's worst products. The only good thing about it, is the reception it can clearly get. That's why I gave it 2 stars unstead of the 1 star it deserved.

Summary: Underperformer to say the least
Review: Upgraded to the T721 per AT&T recommendation that it would be the best thing on the market. So far I've had to return three of them because of these problems: 1. Randomly Turns itself off
2. Constant static/computer attenuation noise in background
3. Randomly disconnects calls
4. Sometimes it will not respond to the power off button (AT&T recommended changing the battery, that was my fourth return in the six months of ownership. All in all, I would recommend that anyone wishing to buy this phone had just as soon go and buy a "little princess phone" by mattel because you will probably get as much actual phone conversation time with either.

Summary: Adequate phone
Review: I've had this phone for three months, directly from an ATT Wireless store. At the time I had to pay $50 with instant rebate, whereas Amazon I think had it for $50 after mail in rebate. I bought it because it was a decent flip phone with a color screen, and I did not feel like paying $100 and over for a similar phone with better features. Since those same phones are much cheaper now, if I were to do it all over again right now I would spring for a better phone rather than settling for this. Pros:
-Construction feels solid enough to me, I have no worries that any buttons, antenna, faceplate, whatever will break from normal use. I've dropped it once (to my dismay), and the front face has a couple scratches on it.
-Screen is large.
-Phone is long when opened. I don't like the idea of talking on a phone when it barely extends past my ear, like it's some children's toy. When folded it is thinner than some phones, but slightly thicker than others, but it is at least small enough to fit into that little third pocket in my jeans. Convenient!
-Buttons depress nicely. I don't have to wonder if I pressed it hard enough for it to register.
-GSM features are nice if you use them. I don't really use them, but ATT has a horrible selection of TDMA phones, if that's your thing. (Hint: ATT doesn't really have a good selection of cell phones in general. Way to go, ATT.)
-Voice dialing comes in handy Though I did drop it once, most of these problems did not occur any time near the fall. The phone just has problems. Get a different phone. Try not to use ATT.

Summary: Nice phone, poor service coverage
Review: This is a really neat little phone. But there are several drawbacks. First, to use some of the additional capabilities you end up paying a fortune in extra charges. Second, unless you are driving down the interstate or in a major city, you can forget about being able to use the phone--and getting an accurate coverage map for service is nearly impossible. All in all, I wish I had stayed with Sprint.

Summary: A Step Up
Review: I'm a pretty frugal guy but when I saw this phone I knew it was time to upgrade from my V60. The graphics are excellent. The larger screen allows you to see up to 9 lines of text and the much smaller antenna means you can put it in your pocket and actually forget that you put it there. One of the previous reviewers mentioned that the menus aren't great. I have to agree with that, but the features are there. I have to disagree with the quality aspect, though. The T721's plastic may be lighter than the metal of the V60, but I haven't had a single problem with it and it looks like the antenna will last a lot longer. The downloadable games are pretty good too! (I recommend Dungeon Capers) So if you don't want to spend a lot of money but want a phone with good graphics and good general features this phone is for you.

Summary: OK PHONE, HORRIBLE SERVICE (AT&T)
Review: Pros: I'd say there are only a few good things to say about this phone. It is small and lightweight, voice dialing, which is nice, and a large color display with good image quality. Thats about all. Suprisingly, the previous model, the T720 (Verizon) performed much better than this phone. Cons: There are too many cons for me to list, but there are some major ones you should know if you are planning on buying this phone. When I saw the AT&T monthly plans for this phone I was amazed. I got 750 nationwide minutes a month for the price of other carriers 400 local minutes plan. Later I found out that all those minutes wont do much good if I cant use them. AT&T service is worse than you can possibly imagine. Not only that, but this phone doesn't have the best reception anyway. One time I was with about 5 people who all had cell phones from different providers. In the same spot that they had signal strengths of 4 and 5 I had absolutely no signal. If I was lucky I might get "Emergancy Only" or a 1 at best. I'm so sick of this service I'm willing to pay $175 to cancel this and another $100-200 to buy a new verizon phone. What ever you do DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, or any AT&T wireless phone. AT&T offers incredibly low-priced plans and phones, but its all just a gimmick. This phone has some cons also. I don't like that it has only 300k of application memory, 1-2MB would be better. The polyphonic ring quality is bad compared to simalarily-priced phones. Not only that, but the ring is very soft, even on loudest volume. If I'm anyplace where there's even a little bit of noise, it takes me a while to realize it's ringing. This phone, for it's price, should have more features, such as a camera, bluetooth, etc. My final conclusion, just dont bother with this phone or AT&T, I'd suggest pay a little bit more and get the LG VX6000 with Verizon, especially if you live in the Tri-State area. You can not imagine how horrible this phone is until it's too late.

Summary: Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Review: I had a chance to try out the Motorola T731 and compared it to the T721. Besides a different, extendable antenna, there is no difference outside the fact that the T731 was made to function on a CDMA network, while the T721 (and 720 respectively) is for a GSM network. This phone is a mixed bag, but is reliable enough to recommend to the casual cell phone user who favors a few nice frills. Read on... Pros: 1) Sound Quality. Motorola phones are first and foremost the best in sound quality, and while the earpiece could be louder, the voices come across crystal clear and with only a minimal amount of static. I have heard others complain about the sound quality, but I found it to be stellar. 2) The "Flash" factor. This phone has enough features to make it flashy, and a nice conversation stimulator. The color screen is nice, with some cute animation. The polyphonic ring tones are also above decent, and loud enough for most people. The color screen itself is actually better than the average, since it is easily viewable in daylight, a problem that has plagued other color-screen phones. 3) Minimal creaking. The problem with the Motorola v60 series is that the flip piece would wiggle and creak a lot. While not the biggest of problems, it is annoying nonetheless. The T721/731 does not creak or wiggle, unless an insane amount of pressure is put on it. 4) Tactile buttons. The buttons have a satisfying click to them when pressed, which is a big improvement over other phones out there with flush keypads. The backlight also illuminates all the keys brightly and evenly, so using the keys in the dark is easily and comfortable. 5) Value. The T721/731 was clearly made for the budget-conscious shopper. Most color-screen phones will set you back a pretty amount, while this one is very affordable indeed. For the frills and perks, this phone is a great value. Cons: 1) Horrible menus. The first thing you will notice when using this phone is that the menu system is ridiculously hard to learn. The 4-way directional keys make accessing submenus easy, but since the menu layout is so confusing, it is hard to get to the right menu fast. You will get used to this, but it is a sharp learning curve. 2) Weak vibrate. If you wear a thick coat or keep the phone in your bag, do not expect to feel the phone is you have it set to the vibrate function. This is the most annoying thing for me, since I do not like to use a belt-holster or a leather case, so I must keep it in my jacket pocket or my knapsack. I thought the vibe on my Samsung A540 was weak, but this one is much weaker. 3) Poor battery life. Mobile phones never achieve the battery life that the manual claims, but the T721/731 is well below par. The color screen, backlight, and all the functions (including the backlit external LCD) drain the battery faster than is acceptable. It lasted 2 days on standby for me, but that's with moderate usage. 4) Feels cheap. Despite the solid build quality that ensures minimal creaking, the phone is light and made of plastic, so it feels cheap and you will likely question the durability over the long term. One advantage of the v60 series is the fact that it is solid, built like a rock, and was obviously made with durability in mind. Holding the T721/731 didn't make me confident that it could withstand the usual wear and tear that most cell phones go through. The benefits and weaknesses are equally compelling, so this phone will suit some people very well, while others would be less than pleased with it. For me, it is a decent phone, but I have other preferences. For people looking for flash without spending the cash, this is the right choice. People who favor a more functional and practical phone, this may not be the best choice.
