My very firstist phone was the startac (only Motorola i used) and i loved it but it only lasted 8 months and the aerial snapped off!!

This one looks nice too, as i think Motorola make really ugly phones at the mo!

nah, nothing like the original or the last one we saw here a year or two back

I assume this is only CDMA like the last one?

Nope, this one is Tri-band GSM unlike its predecessor.

ah! ok

for those wondering what we're talking about with "the last one" see A blast from the past

that was more like the original than this new one which is tending more towards V3x dimensions

Thanks for linking that "blast from the past" thread.

I must say i do prefer the look of that previous version, it somehow looks more elegant and retains the original startac look like you mentioned.

I still have an old startac, and my original V3 and the V3688 but startac is probably in my top 3 all time fav phones

I agree,there was something about that Original Startac..i loved mine back in the days aswell, i think its popularity is probably more to do with the fact that it was the first real clamshell mobile.

that wasn't it for me.

I've always had a major dislike of clams, even since then. I think it was simply its beam-me-up-scotty appeal and very pocketable size
