Advantages Built in GPS, small, no sim card required. Disadvantages Sound is sometimes quiet.
...I have owned the MotorolaA780 for a year and a half and it is fantastic. The built in GPS is clear to see and very accurate. You can use the GPS even without a sim card in the phone! It is a touch screen and can be tracked from your home computer via CoPilot software that comes with the phone. Excellent buy and such a small GPS system! The phone is simple but has many features that are useful and fun to use! It has an organiser, phonebook, Viewer, calculator, jotter and all the features that you would expect from a small, compact palm phone. The only problem is sometimes the sound on the GPS goes and will often take sometime to return. It is also quiet if listening to music or have the windows open on the motorway etc....

not just a phone
Review of MotorolaA780 by

taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages loads of good technology in one place esp. sat nav Disadvantages bigger than your average phone
...I have had this phone for a year now and I can only say it has been great. So good I even named it.
Plus
The best features for me have been the fact that it has built in sat nav via co pilot, which can update traffic info via the web; looks like a candy bar phone, but opens up to a touch screen phone with main pda features. Also can carry/view word and power point documents. Camera is as useful as a mobile camera can be.
Minus
You can't update office documents. There is an annoying soft key for memos which never turns off and can eat your memory but takes seconds to clear it.
My own grumble is that water has damaged mine and it is off for repair, I am missing her (mary) already...

Advantages An excellent touch screen, bluetooth, unbeatable software package Disadvantages slightly heavy and bulky but is to be expected with everything this has on
... Iv only had the phone for 2 weeks and so reliability of the phone can't really be evaluated but if i ever do have any problems i will be sure to update the review accordingley.

middle 12 months: £29:00
last 3 months : £14:50
