Motorola A760
The Good :
Beautiful design, touch screen, TFT 65,000 colors, USB port, big 32 MB internal memory, Linux system runs fast, GPRS, infrared, bluetooth, MP3 player, video recording capability, Intel XScale processor 206 MHz
The Bad:
no external memory slot, some Linux documents might not be compatible with Windows
Motorola A760 throws in a unique hybrid of PDA and a phone. You can edit some basic documents with its Linux system that runs quite fast. The video recording capability also works well. Its 32 MB is somewhat limited, and the lack of memory slots becomes a little nuisance for us.
The design is good enough, but not really special. With touch screen and no keypad, you must get used typing with the stylus. The bright display helps us using the phone comfortably. Full connectivity, with GPRS, Infrared, and Bluetooth onboard, reflects Motorola's desire to make A760 one of the most preferred PDA-phones on the market.
Clearly, other alternatives are also available. Going to a little bit lower price PDA-phone, we can choose Explore G18 by Palm. It has bigger and better display: 262,000 colors display, 16 MB RAM, 16 MB ROM, but no internal memory. Yet the Explore G18 lacks the bluetooth and video recording capability. The Explore G88 is slightly more expensive than Motorola A760 and offers the same features of Explore G18, with only one difference : 22 MB internal memory.
Conclusion :
If you want to look for a middle end PDA phone, Motorola A760 can be a choice. Although the display is rather small, A760 brings quite a lot of features in it. With the Linux, system stability is good. Please consider the absence of external memory slots and the possibility of incompatibility between Linux documents and Windows.
