Motorola Accompli 008

I purchased the Motorola Accompli 008, because Carphone Warehouse were selling them off, so I got two. I'm very glad I did. It's pretty much got everything you could need from a phone, with the added extra of being a full-blown PDA at the same time. I would highly recommend it for anyone. You can pretty much (with the help of the handsfree), clip it to your belt and forget about it, it's got automatic answer, and crystal clear sound.

Having just purchased an 008 to replace my r380 I was surprised at just how capable a device it is. Mega useful pda features plus gprs and java downloads up to 2mb. The whole device is not much bigger than a v50 yet has a much better spec than any thing else on the market. A friend has a nokia 9210 which is absolutely massive, has no touchscreen or gprs and cost 6 times as much, no contest. I can wholeheartedly recommend the 008 as you are likely to pick one up as a bargain as it is now discontinued. Mine cost me the glorious sum of £99

Just sent this Motorola Accompli 008 mobile phone back to dealer. If you have the time to sit at a desk with it all day then its ok, but if you want a phone primarily to make calls forget this one. Too large and awkward, finger touch screen works limitedly. Recalling a stored number is ok if it begins with "A" otherwise you need scroll the whole length of your address book and that cannot be efficiently done by finger touch. Handwriting text messages with the stylus is too long winded for me and its not especially accurate and therefore you keep having to correct. Not the best ear piece volume and no readily available car-kits/hands free etc.

OK for E-mail access, anoraks and err.. that's about it.
