In the UK, mobile phone network 3 has the exclusive rights to the Motorola A1000 PDA phone. This is a handset that, according to Motorola, will "match your ambitions and technology to fuel your dreams" with "Web access, person to person video, Mega pixel camera, MP3 and video streaming."
While you may think that's a load of old marketing tosh, a quick glance at the enormous screen on this phone ought to make you think again. It measures 39.9mm wide by 61.4mm tall, which is 73.2mm or 2.9 inches on the diagonal, and that is simply huge for a mobile phone.
The device supports Quad band 900/1800/1900/WCDMA 2100 and has both Bluetooth and GPRS. The claimed talk time of 225 minutes with 200 hours of stand-by is fair enough, and the 24MB of internal memory can be expanded thanks to the Mini SD slot.
No doubt the reason that 3 signed a deal with Motorola for the A1000 is that the screen is ideal for showcasing the services that it is desperate to pump at its customers. If you want to watch movie clips of breaking news stories or absolutely must see a replay when your team scores a goal, then this is the phone for you, provided you're happy to pay 25p for less than one minute of content, that is.
