Motorola A630 Phone (T-Mobile)
Fully functional, practical, but lacking in a few areas
I bought a v600 and a630 at the same time.  Both are essentially the same phone, but the a630 is more for people who text message or write email a lot.  I loved the v600 because of the functions, but because I write so many text messages, I found the a630 to be more my style. <br /> <br />A few things I found could be improved: <br />-AOL Instant Messenger is SMS based, not GPRS, which is T-Mobile's fault. <br />-The email function is very lacking, it took T-Mobile a while to help me out to set it up.  The software only asks for email address and password and somehow automatically sets it up.  I would rather have manual settings <br />-Larger memory space...5mb fills up FAST!  Especially when I am texting multiple people at times.  I have to empty the in/out message boxes constantly. <br />-No video playback.  This is the largest difference between v600 and a630.  No ability to watch mpeg4 movies.  Both phones would benefit if there was video recording. <br />-No elemental lights.  Would be more attractive with those cool multicolor lights! (ok ok ok, just needed something to gripe about) <br /> <br />Things I love about this phone: <br />-The size, this is the BEST QWERTY phone I have owned, because of the compact size.  My Sidekick is now a paperweight because of this phone. <br />-Battery life.  This thing stays charged!  Can go through 2 full days of text messaging before needing a plug in.  Talk time is pretty decent too. <br />-Bluetooth!  Extremely easy to use, fast transfers, and lots of cool free ringers/apps. <br /> <br />Last comments: <br />If you like texting, get this phone.  If you like the features of this phone, but dont need the keyboard, then get the v600.
