StarTac compatability with home carrier
One thing you have to watch out for on the MB/Motorola StarTac is compatability with your cell service provider.
There are 2 basic types of StarTacs that MB uses, CDMA or TDMA, they both use an analog back-up. There are also several subtypes, depending on the particular carrier. You may end up buying a phone that is essentially useless due to incompatability with your carrier, or at best having to switch carriers, assuming they operate in your area and at the correct protocol. The same carrier may even operate at different protocols in different areas of the nation.
