Motorola A1200 Linux-based smartphone

Posted on Dec 23, 05 09:11 PM PDT


Motorola A1200 Linux-based smartphone
The Motorola A1200 comes in a slim package and sports the Linux OS. It weighs a mere 95g and as with most smartphones, it has a touch screen with handwriting recognition technology as well. The 2-megapixel camera also supports name card scanning. The Motorola A1200 uses the Intel PXA270 processor that is claimed to maximize battery life. It comes with a built-in Bluetooth module that supports a stereo headset profile as well. Look out for this phone next February. Via Slashphone

i have this phone and i think it is quite very good. you dont need office to view your files like ppt, word and other microsoft office files.

you can use it as usb mass storage device like flash drives/disks. u really dont have to install the cd just to see the files in your phone.

it has 2 megapixels camera which is good enough. it has a macro camera option where u could focus more on the more closer objects when taking a picture. unlike other phones with digicam in which when an object is closer to the lens of the cam then the pictures gets blurred but with this phone, u can use the macro camera and u will not have that blurred picture.

it has a very good resolution and it wont strain your eyes. very friendly user. and if im going to rate this phone with 10 being the highest and 1 as being the lowest, i would rate it as 9.9/10.

why 9.9 and not 10? i guess the .1 should go to its cons which is u need both of your hands to use this phone. but i dont think thats a big problem. right? except for those driving.

but i love this phone. ^L^

USER FORM SPAIN.

HELLO, I REPORT THAT THIS IS A VERY GOOD PHONE, INTELLYGENT & SMART.
I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ALMOTS A YEAR.

IT IS TRUE THAT VOICE DEALING DOSE NOT WORK WELL.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO WELLKNOWN SOFTWARE FOR IT:

1.- NO SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR SOFTWARE OR OTHER SPECIFIC APLICATIONS.

2.- NO SOFTWARE FOR OTHER LANGUAGES.

3.- FOR MOTOROLA SPAIN AS WELL AS FOR MANY OTHERS CONTRIES THIS IS A PHONE FROM MARS.

YOU CHOOSE!
