Instantly contact any other AT&T user with this phone's Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality, which works across the entire network to make sure you have a clear signal so you can get things done. Easy-to-read icons let you know when members of your contact list are available, not available, or have their status set to "Do Not Disturb." You can also set your own status to let others know that you're busy. When a quick PTT call needs to be a longer discussion convert the call easily to a regular voice call--works for one-to-one calls as well as group calls. Save time on group calling by pulling up your contacts and simply "marking" those you wish to include on a call--no need to set up and save groups before calling, unless you want to.This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas.

- No Stars for For the Motorola Tundra
I couldn't submit a review with No Stars but that's my rating since it is less than mediocre. Used to be you couldn't find a fire truck or a police car on the streets without a Motorola two-way radio in it, it was that good a brand name, it carried the imprimatur of top-quality. I originally purchased the Motorola Tundra as it was advertised as rugged, built to mil specs etc.
Unfortunately the device didn't live up to what used to be a good name. It gets mediocre reception at best, bottom of the line Nokia from four years ago worked far better in terms of in-going and outgoing calls. My wife's phone which cost much less gets far better reception. About 9 months into the FIRST phone the device crashed regularly (sometimes two or more x per day) necessitating battery-removal reboot. In the ninth month the phone crashed completely necessitating replacement. The second phone lasted three months and then the upper part of the clamshell-style phone went red-hot and the interior large display screen went black. I have no downloads, no apps, no computer ring tones, just wanted a durable phone. No physical damage to it. ATT Customer assistance (offshore and a poor connection) offers replacement with a "remanufactured" phone and doesn't offer any warranty on the new phone past what was in place on the original Motorola. So I get yet another USED Motorola phone with an even shorter warranty. (Don't tell me about their strict factory specs etc, that should have been true for the second phone.) . Don't waste your money on the Tundra, it is all looks, I would entirely recommend getting another brand of phone and I can't say much for ATT. I would love to hear from Motorola on this one, they should should be ashamed of selling products like this. - A Cell Phone That's Actually A Good Phone
I've been looking for the right cell phone for some time, now. This might not be so hard if I wanted a phone to text, browse the internet, buy novelty rings from my phone, and otherwise muck about giving AT&T excuses to charge me money. There seem to be multitudes of options that would let me do that in as many ways as I could think of. The problem is, I just want to be able to talk to people I know when I want to and be available for them to do the same. I'll text if I have to. Unfortunately, most cell phone manufacturers seem to have forgotten about that "feature". Each newer phone that I've had (usually when it breaks or just stops getting reception) has actually had worse reception than the last.
The Tundra, however, seems to actually be made for making phone calls. It gets the best reception that I've ever had. In the past, I have been limited to talking in one corner of the house. The engineering marvel of adding an external antenna might have something to do with this. As far as its durability, which seems to be a pretty big selling point, it seems pretty sturdy. I'm not afraid to lean on a wall with it in my pocket anyway. If nothing else, the rubberized exterior gives a good grip, and along with the bulkiness, makes it very comfortable to use. I can even hold it on my shoulder if I have to. The built-in AT&T contacts are a bit disappointing. It is a bit annoying not to be able to remove them. On the other hand, I was too lazy to remove them from my last phone, so I really can't complain much there.
As far as its other features, I really can't comment. I've heard the camera is garbage. From what I've seen, cell phone cameras generally are. It can do just about anything ordinary phones can now, taking advantage of 3G and all. It even has some dedicated buttons for these things, including one for PTT right on the side. In the end though, it gets five stars for great reception, its apparent durability, call quality, and its comfort of use. If the size bothers you, your pants are probably too tight. - It could have been great.
This is really the tale of two phones. I broke my Motorola v365 and needed a replacement. This phone appeared to be the spiritual successor so it seemed the obvious choice.
Looking at the hardware, the phone is awesome. Tough and rugged; good reception; above-average battery life. The screen is pretty clear and call quality is decent. I usually have a good signal and don't lose many calls. If the review was for the hardware only, I would've given it 4.5 stars. The hardware designers made a good phone only to be undone by the software guys.
But the software is where this thing tanks. It's as if the designers laid out as many possibly ways to get you to accidentally spend data and implemented them all. Dedicated buttons for worthless features, poorly laid out menus, non-programmable soft or hard keys, and the worst contact list I have ever seen. There are 8 or 10 pre-programmed numbers that come loaded into the phone for various features such as checking your data usage, your bill, or getting directory assistance, and they all start with "AT&T" so they insist on being at the top of the contact list. They cannot be removed, renamed, or moved into a contact group. AT&T and Motorola both told me they are hard programmed into the firmware and cannot be removed. Serious? The software team ruined what could have been a great phone.
Anyway, I was so turned off by the operating system of this phone that I will never again buy a Motorola or work with AT&T. As soon as my contract is up I'm leaving for Verizon. - AT&T Tundra poor
My Motorola Tundra is a good working phone but, AT&T added 12 preloaded contacts on my list that can not be removed or edited in any way. This is a no go in my book, who is AT&T to mandate what contacts I will have on the phone I pay for!! - kjones
Had the Tundra for nearly a year, it was a good phone good reception but had problems with bluetooth connections from day one. My husband is a truck driver and a ear piece is a necessatiy so we had get a different phone.
