Talk:Motorola StarTAC

message: "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)
replies: text: 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,  but which ones? Ashley Pomeroy 17:35, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: Which of the StarTAC models can still be used, on which phone service providers? Bizzybody (talk) 21:58, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Still supported? 

message: I think AMPS and TDMA are now turned off in the US, so that leaves, at least in theory, CDMA and GSM StarTACs as still usable today.
The article is incorrect: the successor of the StarTAC was the v60, not the Razr v3. The Razr came a lot later.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.54.163.70 (talk) 07:38, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
