A few weeks ago I picked up a new StarTac, but my mind kept wandering back to the tiny V8160 dual-mode phone that I had seen at the dealer. After a few days I took the StarTac back and picked up the Vulcan. It's about the size of a standard Motorola pager. Here's a pic alongside my medium Carson Model 4.

The body measures 3 1/4" tall x 1 5/8" wide x 1 1/8" thick with the standard battery. It weighs 3 ounces. The standard lithium-ion battery is good for 150 minutes of talk time, or 125 hours of standby time in digital mode. It has a neat vibrating ring option to silently alert you to incoming calls. For those who want it (I could care less), it has a built-in mini-browser for picking up e-mail or other net features. It was very pricy, but I spend so much money on knives that I figured I could spend a bit on other types of gadgets too. So far it's given me excellent service - at least equal to my last phone which I was also happy with. For more info, go to the Motorola V8160 page.

I have had my eye on one of those since they came out to replace my StarTAC. Does it include a holster like the StarTAC? Since you had the SrarTAC for a while, how does it compare as far as ease in use - are the buttons too small or the screen too small, is it hard to hold because it is so small.

How much did you get yours for, I think I have seen it for about $400 around here. It would be neat though. Thanks for the post, any more info about it would be appreciated.

I haqve looked at the old analog only version of this phone as well before I got my Startac. The size is nice, but the buttons are too small and too close together for my fingers, and I need my reading glassesto see the screen on my startac.

Now, if it was voice activated . . .
