Set basic phone operations and manage characteristics here. Various options allow you to customize the language, the way personal information is entered.
Location   Tell the network where you are physically located.
Network   View information about the network you are currently on.
Car Settings   Adjust hands-free car kit settings.
Headset   Have the phone answer incoming calls after two rings if a headset is attached.

Settings is where everything can be changed. Personalize your phone with your own ring settings, backgrounds, screensavers, etc. You can adjust a few network settings and have features like the Auto PIN Dialers although that feature is sort of useless.

How long could a PIN actually be? For most purposes it's that 4 digit code for banks. Adding a feature specifically for that purpose seems like kind of a waste.


Datebook Menu

Schedule and organize events such as appointments and meetings.
Day View    
Event View    

Up to 500 entries can be stored in the datebook. You can view the calendar by week, day, or event. Also set alarms to remind you when events happen.

One drawback of the phonebook is its inability to view an entire day's events without scrolling. The screen is broken up into 12 hour chunks. So if you have an appointment in the morning and have something else scheduled at night, you'll have to painstakingly scroll through. Another problem is the choice of duration for events. Increments of 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, and so forth. Sometimes meetings don't last in exactly one hour chunks.

TrueSync is Motorola's accessory product for synchronizing phonebook and datebook information between the T720 and a computer or PDA.
