Maybe my battery memory is low but I just don't get more than 3 hours on the Motorola A920 . Installing software onto the phone other than 'three' approve
App's is an no go. The gps feature on the phone was my buying point, but three network haven't even sorted out any softwares for it. Surfing 'three' wap is good. Emailings is good, still can't upload any video's clips or mp3's for the phone to play, seems there isn't a proper player onboard to play the diffrene files formats. Great shame. But I am going to keep this phone just waiting for the 'gps' software to come out, waste of time trying to sell on as I have lost money on it. The camera delivers great shots, which is pleasing. Very clear and true.

When I first got this phone (which I had used day in, day out for 11 months) I thought it was great, apart from every second call being dropped by the carrier and also very poor signal (Edinburgh City Center) I thought, hey new network - cheap deal, fair enough. Things never really improved the whole time I was on the contract which led me to ditching it.....

But this review is for the phone itself - right? Unfortunately they do both go hand in hand!

For the handset itself, the battery life is a joke, I have to carry a charger and three batteries with me if I am to be out of the house for anything more than a day, NO JOKE!

The Symbian UIQ OS is a fine piece of software, identical to that of the P900 - but there has to be a bad point, there is THE WHOLE THING IS LOCKED DOWN. Bluetooth has only just been enabled after thousands of '3' users complained.

All in - I had a pretty horrible experience with this phone, partly due to the handset and partly the carrier. Not recommended, walk on by.

I think people are very harsh on this phone. Its true its very large and it does need charging every day, but in other ways its far better than a P800/900.
As long as you get the Bluetooth enabled version it can do anything a P800/900 can do, but with a few extras built in. It has AGPS (assisted GPS), bi-directional camera, 3G video calling and data speeds and more.
It has Symbian 7.0 so can run most P800/900 software.
The best thing about this phone is the price, in the UK you can get this phone on contract from '3' for free with a monthly tariff as low as £15. You wont find a P800/900 for money like that!!

Email retrieval of the Motorola A920 is rubbish. The screen is illegable in daylight. Internet - Extremely limited and VERY poor/costly. Ease of use - Terrible you need three hands. Had mine repaired twice, replaced once. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Cannot wait to see end of contract and throw it in a bin!!

Just got my Motorola A920, very pleased with it, tons to fiddle on with, plays flash games well not tried any symbian games yet bit of a brick to carry but who cares, it.s smart to show off to friends.

I have owned my Motorola A920 for around 10 months now so thankfully will be due for renewal in September. It was a novelty to begin with, but now it's just a pain in the backside. Literally!!
I say this as it will only fit in my back pocket.
To say that this phone is unreliable is a gross understatement. It is so overloaded with software that it doesn't actually work as a phone and the battery lasts half a day if I'm lucky. If I was to sum this phone up in one word, it would have to be: RUBBISH!!!

I have had my Motorola A920 for about 8 months of contract, needless to say I will not be renewing the contract next year. Overall the poorest phone reliability I've have ever had. It's had to be replaced eleven times and repaired countless more due too non responsive screen, unable to make calls, no internal memory {when there's nothing on it at all to fill the memory {internal or memory card}on attempting to make calls I got what sounded like a fax machine and had to remove battery to reboot, calls not connecting properly, not connecting to desktop the list goes on. If Motorola and Three got their act together and sorted these problems out, then the phone would be on the verge of being the very best available. And then there's the service centre!!!!!! What these people know about problem solving and customer care, I could write on the back of a postage stamp, in a word "USELESS". If you've got one or getting one, good luck.

The Motorola A920 is a potentially great mobile phone (apart from the sheer size of it) Completely ruined by "3" by their locking down of the phone, their lack of support and their appauling network performance (I've owned mobiles on all of the networks over the years and never come across such an incompetant and generally rubbish service as "3"). As long as this phone is only available on "3" I wouldn't even recomend this (or the a925) to my worst enemy.

This Motorola A920 is one of the best mobile phones in the world, it has great features and the best camera I have ever seen.

This Motorola A920 mobile phone seems to be unable to make calls which is a little bit of a problem when it is a mobile phone (or sold as one anyway). The advert should say talktime (connection) 3 minutes as this is how long the call lasts before it cuts you off. The Three customer couldn't careless department do not return calls and seem to think that it acceptable for the phone to cut you advising you that they are a new network so will have problems. The phone is the correct size to be used as a draught excluder. Three have decided to place there main call centre in india who are very friendly but useless and if i have to tell one more person my mobile phone number i will scream. Oh and just to remind you do not call the couldn't careless department on your phone as it will not hold the call instead use £50 worth of your home phone bill on them. My advise is to put them on friends and family.

This Motorola A920 mobile phone is almost identical to the SE P800 in that it uses symbian OS7. It is a little bigger and heavier though , but this is due to its 3G features.
It can run most P800 programs if its one of the upgrade models (3 will do this for you for free, most new ones already are).
As a symbian phone it work very well, as a normal phone it works great to ! It has a strong signal most of the time and the sound quality is excellent in both 2G and 3G modes.
Battery life is poor though and it needs charging every day, but if you turn off the AGPS that helps a bit.
Its also much cheaper than the P800 or P900. Its free on videotalk 500 or 750 from most suppliers and this can be lowered to videotalk 100 after 3 months (£15/M), this makes it stunning value !
Its a fine phone and as long as you have a 3G signal its works brilliantly.
Make sure you get the BT upgrade though.
Ill give it 9 with the upgrade and 5 without it (because its so frustrating).

This Motorola A920 mobile phone is a Symbian based device (like the sony Ericcsson p800/p900), and as such it works ok. I have had it for about 2 months, and it has just broken. It refuses to come back to life after the screen goes black (screen saver). Given this fact, I have to say the reliability is pretty poor. Also, the phone drops calls roughly every 10 minutes, with frequent drop outs of words, resulting in many "Hello?...Hello?..." moments.

Hutchinson '3' are, without doubt, the biggest shower of useless beggers I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. If you are thinking of going to 3 - DON'T. THEY REALLY ARE AS BAD AS THE STORIES YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING. I heard bad reports but didn't quite believe them. They will go out of your way not to help you - for example, my mate has been unable to make calls for 3 months because they say he is over his credit limit!! They swear to ring you back, and never do. Useless.

The phone itself is quite nice, but too big. Outlook synching is nice, as is MP3 playback (128Kbit only) and the SD card slot to upgrade the memory. However, battery life is about a day, and you have to reset the phone every day in order to be sure of being able to make/receive calls.

The content availble on 3 ranges from useless to pathetic. The only feature of interest to me was the GPS function, where you click and it will find where you are. Needless to say, 3 UK have decided not to implement this feature. The downloadable videos are utterly pointless, (the 'comedy' section being spectacularly unfunny) as are the rest of the services offered.

Overall, a complete waste of time. PLease, PLEASE, dont give 3 your business unless you fancy having a huge, ugly phone, the worst network ever and laughable customer support. Stick to the 2.5G networks.

3 will be out of business soon anyway.
