Storage
The T720 has a dedicated 1.75 MB for storing its games, wallpapers, screensavers,
and applications downloadable via BREW - Motorola's proprietary service
for sending multimedia content. 1.75 isn't that bad since many of the things
you'll be storing are relatively small. It's slightly roomier than some
of its competitors like the T68i which only has 1 MB of storage space, and
dwarfs Nokia and Samsung's storage space.
Connections
Most of the connection slots for the T720 are on the bottom. A place
for the charger, a place for the synch cable. Synching leaves a lot to be
desired when compared to other phones. Depending on your plan and provider,
you might not be able to download all those fancy games. Some providers
- Verizon, for example - restrict all multimedia content so that you can
only get it from them at a price. That's pretty ridiculous if other phones
can download as much as they want, when they want, for free.
The main feature left out from the T720 is probably an infrared port.
If you want to download multimedia to your phone, your only options are
a data cable or through WAP (Depending on your service provider). Thus with
all the great multimedia on the phone, you might be paying a lot of money
for each picture or ring tone depending on your service provider. Definitely
something to consider if you like to change the look of your phone often.

If you've owned a v60 or v66, you'll already be familiar with the phone
book structure. You can store up to 1000 contacts and emails.
The only interesting thing here is the addition of a PIN number. While
I say again that it may not really be all that useful for most people, the
fact that it can store a unique 32 digit PIN for each entry is pretty impressive.
You can even have it pause and wait to connect the call before having it
dial the PIN.

Very standard as well with the exception of the Notepad. This is
by far my favorite feature. I remember many times jotting down a phone
number by dialing the number only to lose it after 30 seconds because I
never actually called the number. Notepad solves this by allowing
you to go to the temporary memory space those typed numbers are stored in
and you can edit that number and save it to your phonebook.
