Motorola A630 Phone (T-Mobile)
Good PHONE, not great PDA functions.
I was looking for replacement for my Palm m130, and this phone, while being advanced with it's keyboard and other functions, is not a Palm replacement.  Don't buy this through Amazon. (...).  Anyway, you will need \\"Motorola mobile phone tools\\" to synchronize the calendar and contacts to Outlook, for instance.  I believe this works with Lotus Notes as well, but can't confirm it.  This process is very kludgy compared to the intergration of Palm's software with the desktop, so that was disappointing for me.  With T-Mobile service, many of the useful ports for J2ME (Java 2.x mobile edition) are not usable if they access the Internet.  T-Mobile blocked a lot of ports, enough that it disabled many of the applications I wanted to use.  Google's mobile mapping program and other interesting app's were prevented from being used.  Very disappointing.    On the plus side, the phone is quite small, has a nice screen inside, and the bluetooth implementation is excellent.  I have used this repeatedly with my Logitech Mobile Freedom headset and it's great.  It also connects to at least the Belkin bluetooth key nicely on WinXP as well.  No issues there.  I've heard complaints about it not working well (bluetooth), but if you follow the usb key's instructions, everything should go fine.    The calendar is good, being a phone.  The MP3-like playback of ring tones is nice.  It's not exactly awesome playback since it has a tiny speaker, but it's surprisingly loud.  Speaker phone usage is good as well.  It definitely does not lack power there.    Battery life is not what the spec's said.  Expect 2-3 days max between recharges, probably closer to 1-2 days if you are frequently calling on it and/or using bluetooth a lot.  Most of us are used to charging your phone daily, though, so who cares, right?    It's a good PHONE.  It's not a PDA replacement.  If you're into SMS, this is a good phone.  If you only need phone functionality, speaker phone, and bluetooth, a lower priced model would work for you.  If you can sync your calendar and contacts, this might work well for you.  If you want to replace your Palm, you need something running Palm, Windows Mobile, or Symbios...
