i recently switched my alltel startac phone to a t720. i have had 2 phones
and they are both junk. i will be talking and the volume drops off to a
whisper. sometimes i can adjust it back up with the volume control, but the
thing wont hold on to the volume for long.

the idiot at alltels customer service said they could ship it to motorola,
but this is obviously a design issue.

anyone else had a similar experience?

When the volume drops, try moving it lower on your ear. The speaker holes
are very low on the earpiece, and lowering it on your ear position often
helps. The earpiece has a very small sweetspot. If that helps, you can learn
to consciously place it lower on your ear and keep it there. I thought I had
a phone problem until someone pointed that out to me, and it worked.

I have one and it the biggest piece of crap Motorola has ever made. I drop
call all the time. I loose my signal when I am right next to a tower. My
phone will be in my house and drop the signal with out the phone being
moved, and it had been in the same spot for hours on the charger. My wife
has a v60x and it is just as about as bad. I had a timeport 270 and I am
thinking about switching back it never dropped calls.
Alltel has replaced the 720 once with a brand new phone and now says all
they can do is replace it with a refurbished phone. Which I think is just
total not right.
Good Luck
