Motorola A630 Phone (T-Mobile)

Average rating: Stars

Good, but not THAT good

So, I've had this phone for about 4 months now, and am getting frustrated by it for a number of reasons...

1) It does nto charge properly. There is a finnicky connection for the charger, and it sometimes is plugged in all night but then the next morning is not charged.
2) The battery life is nowhere near as good as my old Nokia. Even with the backlight turned all the way down, a full day of travelling with a few e-mails, a couple of web-browsing sessions, and a bit of talk, completely kills the battery.
3) It is NOT a smart-phone. Having seen what else is available for a little bit more money now, I would definitely go for a smart phone.
4) They keyboard is way too small. I have big thumbs, and the center 5-way button is just way too small to use comfortably. Even after 4 months I haven't got used to it.
5) It is not loud enough... even with the volume turned up, you have to position the 'phone right next to your ear to hear it.
6) The response of the operating system is slow. After you take a picture, it takes ages to store it and reset. If sending e-mails it can take forever. Also just the basic response time when using a complicated sequence of key commands is just way too slow. I spend a lot of time just waiting for the 'phone to repsond before I can do something. A key example is the speakerphone, which is supposed to automatically come on when you open the phone up, but usually has a 5-6 second delay before anythign happens.

It does have some good ponits though...
1) Small, light, and compact
2) Does a lot more than other 'phones the same size
3) Has a neat selection of built-in tones/wallpaper etc.
4) Veyr easy to use interface - menus make sense and its easy tofind things without referring to the instruction manual.
5) Airplane mode - has a mode where you can switch off the radio signal so it can be used for playing games etc. while on a plane.

So, overall not bad, but I'm now beginning to realise the limitations of this 'phone, and its probably time for me to start shopping for a smart-phone (such as a palm treo).

Good Features, Ok Quality

This phone is def a cool gadget but thats about it. Last time I had a Motorola I told myself I would never get one of them again because the thing was a piece a junk. The phone reception was usually below par and volume was pretty lousy. This pretty much is the same deal. The phone portion of the gadget is not nearly the best I have had (my crappy Nokia basic phone sounded better). The volume is weak and I have dropped several calls. The rest of features rule though. Texting with the QWERTY is slick and is the main reason I got the thing, that and it was free here on Amazon with rebate. Idon't recommend this phone if you are going to use it for business too much liabilty here. Its a fun phone just not nearly a perfect as I would like it to be.

MORE THAN WHAT EXPECTED

this phone is a true hit.Its not only easy to use but easy to carry. I have read in some reveiws that its a very compact phone, but thats not true.I am so pleased with my purchase,I have no problem what so ever.
THE ONLY negetive point about this phone is its ringer volume is little slow, but thats ok its not that low either.
I must say Moto phones are surely taking up heights.THis phone is excellent for people who do lots of sms and on the go web use.
Must have phone.
