Sorry but this is a terrible phone. What makes it terrible? The touch screen itself is awful and cumbersome to use. It requires the utmost precision, and if you make a mistake, there is no way to go back to the previous menu, you must start all over again? Making a call on this phone is difficult with the tiny keys. It is a touch screen phone and Motorola could not come up with a simple numerical keyboard pad which occupies the entire screen when dialing? What in the world were they thinking? When you are browsing your contact list all Hell breaks lose. Why is it so difficult to find a contact on this phone? You end up accidentally in the wrong contact many times before you get the right one? And again, there is no back button to go to previous menu? The headphone jack does not work with any external speakers either:( I cannot change the background wallpaper no matter how many times I change the wallpaper? The bluetooth configuration on this phone is horrid, especially on a Mac. Did I mention how much the screen stinks?

    Anonymous, 05 Jul 2009I am glad I will only be using this phone for several weeks... morei cant agree with everything u have said . cuz this phone does come up with a 65k screen but i dont think its that bad most of the phones today comes with 65k and 256k color screens only , most of the nokia s60 n series phones and xpress music phones comes up with 16 million color display . so it cant be that bad as u have mentioned . i think its cheap yes thats just becuz motorolas make cheaper phone models with good options than any other brands . comparing this with a apple i phone is really boring cuz the apple i phone may have a higher resolution display compared to most of the other phone models , but the i phones got its down side for eg - i dont want i tunes to download any music for me thats a waste of time and i dont wanna carry the i phone software cd in my pocket everywhere i go , eventhough i phone 3g comes with 3g speed connectivity i have no need of such a device without a front video call camera , i dont want a phone that does not have a2dp bluetooth file transfer i dont want an i phone without mms , or i dont want it with just a 2mp camera that can only take still shots . so comparing this with an i phone isnt good or wont proove anything at all . (no phone is 100% perfect u will never find such a device)

                100 Moto, 06 Jul 2009Before you complain about the screen of A3100, did you ever... moreAs a matter of fact my only experience with Windows mobile devices has been via the Mpx220 & Mpx300, but that was some years ago. And yes, you are correct that Windows mobile devices typically do not have high pixel density. But I felt the phone lacked the pedigree and refinement that this phone should have. If Motorola can make this phone with Android OS/5mp camera/8gb of integrated flash memory/better screen it would be killer.

                        Anonymous, 05 Jul 2009I am glad I will only be using this phone for several weeks... moreBefore you complain about the screen of A3100, did you ever use "comparable" Windows Mobile based smartphones from other brands?

                        From my limited understanding, most (if not all) Windows Mobile phones only support 65K color, vs. 262K on most other (common) phones, including most (except low-end ones) other non-Windows mobile Moto phones.

                        So if you tried other brands' Windows Mobile based smartphones and reached the conclusion A3100 is the worst, I would have nothing to say. If you only compared with iphone, you practically compared an orange with an apple. (bcoz I can easily say I don't need any itune to download any file into A3100 vs. iphone, and I can bluetooth any file I want on A3100, does that make A3100 superior?)

                          I am glad I will only be using this phone for several weeks in Korea then giving it away. I wish I could understand why Motorola chose to put such a low-quality screen on this phone. It is really such a nice design, it could have been stunning actually if they used more metal and less plastic. But the screen is awful, poor viewing angles as well. Everything is so "blocky" and it reminds me of screens on slightly older cell phones. The low pixel density is very noticeable and in certain functions just looks plain cheap. Videos look horrific on this thing. I don't comprehend why Motorola took this route when all previous phones have superior pixel density all be it much smaller screens. If you are used to the iphone or ipod touch, using the touch screen on this phone will feel like a psychotic episode. And for most functions including typing anything, you will need to pull out the stylus. Having to press the power button every time I want to use the phone feels odd. Doing anything accurately on this phone is impossible with your finger. I would not suggest this phone to anyone. This is just a cheap phone in a disguise.
