Additionally, the internal LCD screen is complemented by an external display, allowing users to see incoming calls and notifications without opening the phone.

The T722i is equipped with various essential features, including predictive text input, a basic calendar, and customizable ringtones. With an impressive battery life, the device can support extended use, making it suitable for users who rely on their phones for communication throughout the day. The talk time and standby time were considered exceptional for the era, providing a reliable experience for on-the-go users.

Connectivity-wise, the Motorola T722i supports GSM networks, which ensures compatibility with many service providers. This capability also paved the way for international roaming, appealing to frequent travelers. The phone supports SMS messaging, allowing users to quickly send and receive text messages, a significant mode of communication in the early 2000s.

Another notable feature is its compatibility with various accessories, including headsets and data cables, enabling users to personalize their experience further. Additionally, the T722i supports a limited selection of downloadable ringtones and wallpapers, giving users a chance to customize their device.
