Talk:Motorola StarTAC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"it never became a great success in Europe." That's not how I remember it...
A moderate success would be the best I remember for the StarTAC in the UK, it was certainly trailing Nokia sales by a huge margin. I'd complain more about "its direct successors (the early Motorola V series) were a huge success, and these phones were ubiquitous in Europe until about 2003" - I'm a phone geek and I certainly wouldn't have called the V series ubiquitous - where's the figures/proof? --TacoJim 09:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Motorola says that it weighed 88 grams: http://www.motorola.com/content.jsp?globalObjectId=123-288
- With no sources for any of this the editors cannot justify including information about relative success. Who designed the StarTAC? According to The Independent the phone won awards, [1] but which ones? Ashley Pomeroy 17:35, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vibracall?
The StarTAC wasn't the first phone with Vibracall... these phones came out in 96, and the MicroTAC Elite and DigitalElite from 93/4 had the vibracall feature. Should this information be updated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.125.8.37 (talk) 03:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] still used/OLED screen
i know that these are still used by some people, and telus will still activate them for you[though in a different way]. also, there are people that replace the greyscale lcd screen in these with a OLED screen from another later cell phone of similar design, to a neat effect. i have one of these i am saving to activate, if anyone wants pics of it with the modified screen.24.83.75.32 (talk) 17:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
