First and foremost it has a full qwerty keyboard, then it has wifi (yeah it doesn't have GPS, but then the first two are more important for a business user than GPS i suppose). But you can buy a GPS device and hook it up with the Vox. Plus think about the horde of apps available for Windows Mobile and you will get the hint ;).

Best of the A-series! Although motorola took 3 years to upgrade it. Still, the phone is packed with great new features. The main highlight is the AGPS & GPS transceiver. User friendly enough once u understand its application. Great accuracy too! And most of all its FREE!
The 3.2MP camera is great too. Superb auto-focus features. No more blurry images.
AS the phone is based on LINUX, do expect it to be slightly slower than other smartphones using the windows mobile platform. However this is compensated with the variety of applications that is bundled with the phone. eg, business card reader, talking dictionary ,real one player.
Overall, this is a must-buy phone for Motorola avid users! Support them guys!

Just bought the phone recently... A great all-rounder! Versatile yet sleek & stylish!
GPS & AGPS is stunning once u get the hang of it! Navigate the world like a local!
Touch screen is very responsive and vivid colours!
Only setback is the lack of WiFi technology.
Linux OS is great althouh a bit slow at times.
Batt life is superb!
Great phone Moto! Keep the touch-screens rolling in!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-12-09 23:19 from Q5xMSo have you own any A1600? Did you ever put an 8GB card to prove it does not work with an 8GB card?
I still have my A1600 and you're more than welcome to put an 8GB card in there...and I'll bet with my A1600.
If A1600 doesn't support 8GB card, you can have my A1600. If A1600 supports 8GB card, then you pay me what's my A1600 worth in the 2nd hard market. (about US$180 in my place)
Want a deal?

My good old A1000 said it supported 128k card, and I put a 256k card and ite worked fine. My old V3x said its supported 512k card, and I put a 1GB card it worked fine.
The possible reason is Moto can't gurantee the performance of the "double sized" memory cards. I.e. cards with higher capacity probably draws more RAM, power, and other things in the phone, which may not match with the phone's ultimate performance.
Back to A1600, is about time to say goodbye for my unit. As I just returned from Taipei I couldn't download the map as promised by Moto HK...where I bought the phone.
So I'm going back to my E6...

oh yes...forgot to mention that i inserted 8gb memory card and it works just fine. I don't know why Motorola advertised it to be limited to 4Gb; it could be when this phone was launched, 8Gb SDHC card was not available.

i just got this phone today from amazon.com. The phone has been fantastic to use. The phone is very small with 2.4 screen size, which is just enough to enjoy using the touch screen. It is running Linux and is guaranteed to be stable with no crashes. Sometimes the menu options could be a little sluggish, but nothing really to hinder your decision of not buying the phone. I see no reason why this phone should only be launhced in China. It is easy to use, rich in features, and yes it may not be iphone intuitive, but after learning how to use it, navigating through menus is just as fast as the iphone. I personally really like the size of it b/c it fits into my pocket perfectly. The iphone is a little to big. It played all my videos using the preinstalled realplayer. The screen is crisp and bright. The only drawback is that you have to "guess" at chaning language from Chinese -> English when you first power on the phone. Not really hard just a nuisance.

> In reply to vtpot @ 2008-11-24 12:53 from 2ZafActually I'm curious as to which countries where usage of "GPS" (not to be confused with GPRS or AGPS) is charged?
As I thought as long as the device has a GPS chip, it can receive the signal from satellite free of charge anywhere in the world.

I have got a1600 last month and its great! I am so glued to it all the time, I have unlimited GPRS access so browsing is fun on this phone. Some problems in installing some applications otherwise its a fantastic phone. Sound quality is not great but yeah audible. I got it for 15000 with 2Gb memory. Not used GPS much but it looks good.
