Bad things about the A20. The software colours look good, but the software navigation could be better and not very smart and intuitive - too many steps to achieve simple functions. (maybe this could be configured through SW upgrade - I got mine SW version based on Southall configuration,which kind of sucks!) All other standard functions of the phone except multimedia functions are just ordinary and nothing exceptional. The phone speakers have problems as there is NO sound without plugging headphones. Incoming calls will ring and one can hear from the speaker, but when answered no sound from speakers unless one turn on speakerphone!! or put on headphones!!....Some software bug. The MIDI sound is the WORST of all handphones...weak and childish sounding....Innostream used to used YAMAHA Chipset in their earlier models like INNO-90, which has the BEST MIDI sound of any handphones i heard!!...but A20 MIDI is like 10 years back technology. The PC sync software is crappy and lousy. Nothing special and worst than previous PC sync software. A20 tries to cramp all the pics you taken or upload and as a result the quality of the picture is squeeze and looks terrible.
GOOD things - MP3 player, Video camcorder, and still shots...the rest of it range from average to crappy (especially MIDI sounds!)

Just a question... if a phone specification says it has mp3/acc/mpeg4 player for example, does that mean it can record video in mpeg4 format or does it just mean it can play mpeg4 videos? thx

Moo, most phones do hung up from time to time. It just happens when u bought it. Anyway, i have not experienced what u went thru, but I did have to remove the battery to start the phone. I was opening a pic taken and all of a sudden it hangs.
Do check with the shop that u bought from if ur problems surface frequently, else, don't bother.

One last thing, the I-Mobile 509 has a better/brighter screen than the A20. Sorry A20, better camera/light, but the 509 wins in the multimedia department :)

I just bought one of these in Thailand under the I-Mobile brand (although it still has Innostream on the phone). I compare it to an I-Mobile 509 which I bought several months ago (and which my girlfriend has requisioned). The firmware is really old (Aug 2005), and the mp3 player has lots of pops in it, and the phone is generally quite slow compared to the I-Mobile 509. Also the I-Mobile 509 will continue playing MP3s while you are using other features in the phone (SMSing, browsing phone book, etc), while the A20 doesnt. Also the 509 is almost bug free (the only iritation I found was choosing phonebook contacts in MMS and SMS client, you can't type in part of a word in English, just the first letter). The downside to the 509 is that the camera is almost unusable in poor light (night mode does not lighten things up), and the micro SD cards are expensive (have not found a 1Gb one yet although I bought a 52Mb one in Spore for S$99). The 509 mirco SD card slot can disconnect/reconnect the card quite a few times (this I partially attribute to my 512Mb card having a sticker on the back of it, which makes the card a little fatter even though it from SanDisk). Comparing the 509 to the A20, I would say I am disapointed with the A20 since I believed it would be better than the 509. I am going to try and contact I-Mobile for a firmware upgrade; I can't believe a brand new phone has 9 month old firmware and the MP3 player is so faulted (poping sounds even when the equalizer is set to normal)!

Sorry, no multitasking.. that means that if you listen to music, then you can't do other things.
If you want a phone with excellent photocamera, then avoid this phone. The pictures taken with this phone will never be super clear because of lack of autofocus.
But if you want a phone with great design and multimedia abilities, this is a go.

Yes, you can transfer files to your laptop by use with infrared with no problem. But the best way to do it is still with the usb cable.. it goes much faster.
