Turn on the
FM Radio. Works only when a compatible headset is available. |
The Media Center is pretty straight-forward. Picture Viewer and My Times
allows you to create your own pictures and ring tones. The radio feature
is a little unnecessary - especially since you have to have a special headset
just for that purpose.
Voice Notes Menu
While there isn't a menu for this option, it is an incredibly handy addition.
Hold down the side key and talk into your phone. Great for reminding yourself
of things you have to do or recording important phone calls. Or if someone
denies saying something, you can hit play for them and rub it in their face.

Customize different alerts
or rings for various events like alarms, reminders, incoming calls,
etc. |
Here you can select from different ring styles. Customize for rings,
messages, or alarm clock. You can also have it on mixed mode which vibrates
first, then rings.
The T720 has 4 toned (16 instrument) polyphonic ring tones. The sound
is pretty good, although not as pretty as the Samsung's. The format is MMF
instead of SP-MIDI. It's not a big deal, just that you have to convert them.
Too bad the ring volume is quiet. Don't expect to hear it if you bury
it deep in your pockets. Good thing is has a strong vibrating alert though.
Get It Now Menu
This deserves mention despite its lack of a real menu simply because
this is where all the fun stuff is. It's strange how in all of the menus,
there is no direct mention of games even though there was so much emphasis
placed on it in the commercials.
Games and other applications are stored in the "Get It Now" folder where
your downloads reside. This is where Motorola's intentions become very clear.
The majority, if not all, of the content for the T720 is available through
subscription only. Meaning that in order to get the fun stuff, you have
to pay for it and it gets sent directly to your phone.
The synching that is available for the phone is only used for PIM/PDA
purposes. It's really not that bad I suppose but I'd like more out of it
without really having to pay more money.

Calculate simple math problems and currency exchanges. Same as all the
