Motorola Timeport 280 - User Reviews

  • i have two phone like that

  • I would like to buy one of these again, I loved how loud they were with speakerphone on. It had many common since qualities that now a days phones don't even have. Anyone know of a place that still sells them???

  • My first ever Internet phone, and restored my faith in Motorola after the joke they call the D520, and didn't have home internet at the time so spent an absolute fortune browsing on this.

  • We are the few luckiest peron? to have this phone. Is your phone keypad not yet erased? even the housing? Ive been using this phone for almost 5 years. The durability no question is 100% even plus.

  • Still using this phone today, very durable, been through a bit of wear and tear but still works fine, open it up and it says "made in Germany" now I can see why this has lasted for so long.

  • no mater if your phone named MOTOROLA 'couse those phone are very hardy phones,i'm also using moto phone i droped it several times but theres no mater to me

  • Ive been using a Motorola Timeport 280 phone in the Philippines for the last three years. It is NOT stylish or beautiful but is the most durable cellfone I have ever owned. This phone has been dropped several times, endures the 90% humidity of the Philippines and has never required repair nor battery replacement. Additionally the Motorola charger has functioned without problems for three years - compare this to the Nokia 3315 charger (we have to replace it every 2-3 months) and our Nokia 3315 requires service every time it is dropped

  • vry gud phn, good looking,never broke, vry elegant,never seen phn like ths,if smeone use it one time will never want to change the phn,plzzz use it for one time i promise u u will never forget this phn it's my bet.

  • the best phn in the world. very nice phn, good lookind,never broken,very elegant,ever feature which other phn hav,u wil nt find ths phn like ths,if smeone use it for one time did not wnt to change the phn.

  • r moto people r u crazy!,u think people would still like to be seen with a mobile fone which looks like this anywhere close to them!

  • For the first time in the history of mobile world, MOTO T280 is one of the finest handset i had never ever seen. Long Lasting battery, elegant look & easy to use as well as small in size. You will never be deceived by purchasing of this handset.

  • useless...........

  • flimsy battery cover, hard to remove sim clip slot, weird ringtone composer but good battery life, good reception and clarity and not bad for a no frills phone.

  • voicestream - or T-mobile used to sell the phone with the necessary software and data cable to connect to internet and i was able to use my laptop to browse internet.

  • Does anybody know how we can connect this phone to PC - to log on to the internet? I need the drivers and software for it? Please advise if you can. Thanks

  • Incredible Phone! This is one of the best phones I've ever had. From its ease of operation to its robust construction this phone never failed to make my situation easier to deal with and/or simpler to expedite whenever that situation involved processing voice or data on the go. I'm still kicking myself in the ass (after a bit of yoga) for letting that phone go! CB

  • I bought a Motorola280 recently.The battery needs replacement.I am from India,and I just do not know where or how to do it as it is not available where I live in India.Can someone help?

  • Apart from a creaky battery door, it is a very good phone( very good reception and outgoing voice). For someone who wants only a phone end not a gadget phone.

  • This is the dumbest, crudest, buggiest, stupidest, crappiest phone ever. No more Motorola for me.

  • Can this phone Motorola Timeport 280 be "unlocked"?

  • please send me the sudsidy password for my motorola timeport 280 mobile phone so that I will be able to use it as soon as possible. Felix ZayZay

  • I was given this phone,but I do not have the users manual could would you be able to sent me the users manual by e-mail. Thank You

  • I can't find a GSM phone that also works with other domestic cell modes (analog, domestic digital modes). I think this would be great for those us of us who ocassionally travel internationally, but want to use domestic carriers, such as Verizon.

  • I am having problems with True Sync software with the Timeport 280 motorola phone. I am getting 2 errors - Timeport_280-E0001: Truesync could not read data from your phone. Please turn your phone off and on, then try again. AND Timeport_280-E0003: Truesync could not communicate with phone.

  • bonjour je desire bien commencer a obtenir des infos sur vos appareil et en voyer moi des melodies de motorola v2288 sur cette meme adresse .

  • What the hell is with the ringtone composer thats just retarted. Otherwise i love my phone. Just a couple suggestions, maybe u should add a changeable banner, and different color backlights and downloadable ringtones. But i would deffinatly suggest this phone to buy.

  • Why do people crying so much about 3-band capability? Do You really jump non-stop from States (or Asia) to Europe?

  • I have been bought this mobile, but i can't find where is the e-mail, does it is in this mobile phone, maybe you know where it is ? please wrote me in my e-mail

  • This otherwise good phone has serious problems with the phone memory. Names and numbers must be stored on the SIM card only as the phone memmory periodically erases all stored names and numbers. Because of this problem, voice dialing is useless as voice tags are erased. This has happened on two different phones and Motorola does not offer a temporary phone while making a replacement. Other features on this phone are very good and with it's tri band capability, it is otherwise a reasonable product.

  • I have this phone with work, and it seems okay. Still a bit dull, motorola should make much better phones, compared to other makers they are still very dull and boring. The games on this are fairly bad. Tetris , pacman , space invaders would be KILLER games for phones! Blue backlit screens! Anyway, it seems alright, but nothing special.

  • sending an sms message was annoying,the phone saves a copy which means its taking up space so as soon as youve sent it youve got to go in outbox and delete it.

  • Dear sir/madam, I am very happy to send this short message concerning motorol phone [time port 280], i was send one from U.S.A by my friend and am in GHANA, but am having problem with the net-working, it can pick our networking, but my friend which send the phone say i will only bring the [freq] down to around [900or180 MHZ]. but they can do it in Ghana,i have try so many place in Ghana. so i will like to know what to do. From Awal

  • too bad the ringtone composer sucks...

  • does anyone know if the T 280 is sold in Belgium? untill now i havn't found it

  • Great in looks but i dont know about the service but by the way is it available in delhi,india.if yes then for how much..

  • timeport t280 games yes numbers in phone 1200 received calls 10 dialed calls 10 standard battery 800mah li-ion

  • this is a quetion. am i able to buy this phone from uganda via postal.mail

  • what is the difference between the Motorola Timeport 280 and Timeport 250?

  • Horrible keypad...too soft....choose something else - for sure!

  • Well, nokia.com usually writes such things...

  • best phone ....best company...

  • Croatia. Molim cjenu i kako kupiti motorolu t 280. Thank you!

  • It seems to me it can store up to 500 (definitely not 1000 numbers) records in its phonebook. I have read that it stores info aout 10 dialed, 10 received and 10 missed calls. Moreover, it can be equipped with 850 mAh battery. It also has Bluetooth option. Please check.

  • Does this phone has a mini joystick like t68? PS: The wap browser is v1.1 not 1.2

  • hi

  • Sorry Nokia.com, but i dont see your bluetooth mobile yet.... nor your TRI-BAND gprs come backwith a comment when you can actually best a phone like the 280 with something other than cutesy gimmicks like Xpress-on covers!

  • cred ca este o reusita fata de l7089pe care il detin si de care nu sunt multumit pentru ca nu are (wap) si(alarma) cum as putea intra in posesia acestu telefon (t280)? si la ce pret?

  • Top dollar paid for this product. E-mail me with any info.

  • ????

  • This phone is not available at this moment, and I do not understand how can it has 17 votes. The phone features are quite promising: - 7-line large display with a WAP browser, - infrared connectivity, - wireless data modem, - tri-band. Idideal for a mobile web user or developer who needs the phone in the USA and Europe. Unfortunately, no Nokia phone has all these features. Only some Ericsson phones can compete. Unfortunately, no web-capable Nokia phone is available for the US GSM1900 market.

  • Nooo ... it's not impressive. Choose Nokia.
