Does anybody on this list have any experience with pager motors
(vibrational motors) such as the ones shown at
http://pagermotors.com/Products.php?f_category=Pager?

I'm trying to figure out what the specification "1.5V @ 70mA" might
mean in this context.  Does that mean the motor requires at least 1.5V
in order to start spinning?  Does it mean that if I apply more than
1.5V I'll burn something up?  Does the "@ 70mA" mean that's the most
current the motor will draw?  Or does it mean that, if I apply 1.5V,
the motor will draw 70mA?

Any thoughts?  Pointers to data sheets?  Real life examples?

Thanks folks!
