 Motorola A768 is announced in 2004
Design
Motorola's A768 is a typical clamshell design. Measures 100 x 53 x 21 mm in size and weighing 120 grams, it is not light but feels very slender despite its size.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Motorola handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The A768 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Motorola handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.What's more, the P910i frustratingly flops all around the place when using both thumbs to enter text, yielding a usability level best suited to very short messages. Thankfully, it's still possible to detach the flip entirely for those who prefer fully touch-based interaction.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Motorola A768 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, voice commands, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the A768 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 96 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Motorola A768.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the A768, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the A768 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 750 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 112 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola A768 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola A768 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Motorola design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
