Motorola A920

The Motorola A920 is a high-spec 3G smartphone with a Symbian operating system, designed for demanding business and multimedia applications. With a Symbian 7 operating system, the range of software available is extensive. The phone will sync with Outlook and Lotus Notes, and can be connected to a PC via a USB cable.

As a 3G phone, the A920 supports all of 3 video mobile services: video calling, video messaging & downloading video clips. It supports assisted GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) for enhanced location-based services. It also benefits from high-speed data transfer whilst on the 3G network. The screen format supports widescreen video.

The integrated camera is rotating, so that you can use it for taking pictures or for video-calling. The camera quality is excellent.

The TFT screen on the A920 is excellent. It has 65k colours, and is large at 4cm x 6cm, with a high resolution of 208 x 320 pixels.

One thing to beware of is that this phone just eats batteries! If you're using the phone heavily for video calling and other functions, you'll only get 1 hour from it, and under normal circumstances you'll probably need to recharge every day. That's simply inevitable with a 3G phone and a screen this big. The phone does come with 2 chargers and 2 batteries though.
