Today’s cellphone arena is dominated by phones operating on the symbian and windows platforms, but Motorola is trying to compete with its Linux platform. The company has launched a number of phones running on this OS and the latest one to be launched in India is the MotoMing A1600. Following the trend of touchscreen flip phones, A1600 succeeds the much successful MotoMing A1200 launched two year ago.
The MotoMing A1600 is loaded with features and caters to those who need smartphone or multimedia devices. The handset offers access to e-mail and comes loaded with a document viewer. The web browsing experience over Gprs connectivity, however, was quite pleasant as the attachments could be viewed without problems.
The call accessing keys, for example, are etched into the body, making them difficult to use. Even the battery life wasn’t impressive; it hardly lasted a day with just a couple of hours of talktime. But thankfully, a car charger has been added to the pack that comes to resuce.
