| Overview | Continue... | Motorola A920 - PROs AND CONs |
|
Launched on 28th August 2003, the new A920 was jointly developed by "3" and Motorola, exclusively for the "Three" mobile 3G network. Motorola A920 Communicator is powered by Symbian OS 7.0 and the UIQ 2.0 user interface. Being jointly developed by 3 and Motorola and exclusively for the 3 video mobile network, the A920 is not only a tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS device, but also a fully featured 3G UMTS phone designed to showcase 3's person-to-person video calling capabilities, as well as its exclusive video content. A920 weighs 212 g and its dimensions are 60 x 148 x 24 mm . Its 8 MB internal storage memory can be expanded using MMC or SD memory cards (up to 256 MB ). Built-in VGA camera (640x480 pixels, 0.3 MP) can be used for taking both still pictures and movies as well as for 3's specific digital services like video calls (3G). Large ( 208x320 pixels), touch-sensitive, 16-bit ( 65,536 colors ) screen, which can also hold up to 20 lines of text, provides perfect quality for watching videos, movie trailers, sports or news clips offered by the "3" network. Being based on the same user interface and operating system as the first UIQ device - Sony Ericsson's P800 - the A920 is compatible with existing UIQ software (except for some applications using specific hardware or features only available on particular device). Unfortunately, the "Three" network operator has chosen to restrict the platform by incorporating a certification mechanism that allows installing and running only certified applications . This means that A920 users cannot use existing software made for the Sony Ericsson P800 until each single application is tested and certified by the "3" itself. This restriction makes almost 500 existing 3rd party programs completely useless for A920 users. Another serious disadvantage is lack of Bluetooth support even though Bluetooth hardware is present. According to some reports, Three is going to enable Bluetooth at some later stage via a firmware patch. The standard Lithium-Ion battery provides 70 hours of standby, 1,5 hour of talk time or 1 hour of video calls, which is not an impressive result.
