Motorola A920 > Reviews (14)

I got the A920 free in November of last year when 3 were just starting to push themselves. I'm a real gadget freak and it looked to be just what I wanted from a phone - a combination of a mobile and a PDA. I really wanted it to be good (and I've had a few great Motorola products in the past) but it just isn't quite 'there'.

Leaving aside all the problems with 3's network such as poor coverage and no Internet access, the phone has still been a disappointment. It does lock up or crash everyday, text messages occasionally don't go and I've never managed to send an MMS to anybody! The screen is very nice, video and MP3 playback are excellent but the price you pay is the shocking battery life. If you use the phone heavily, you'll definately need the spare battery and charger.

Although it's big , it is no worse than the average PDA but it is considerably more bulky than most modern mobile phones. it also doesn't look particularly elegant. It's also easy to scrape unless you use the leather puch. This isn't ideal since the touchscreen and buttons are then completely covered which is clumsy.

Overall, I really do want to like it and for all it's quirks I do have a soft spot it. But it seems to be a rushed product and can be quite a chore to use at times. It has now been replaced by the A925 which is basically the same phone but with some of the problems ironed out.
