If you ’re really into school text message then you know what a pain in the ass that tiny prison cell phone is to “ type ” on . If sore fingers and stupid abbreviation are what your living has become , then check it - the Motorola A630 is about to hit the streets : Sporting a clamshell design la the old Nokia Communicator series , the A630 almost has it all .

Sadly , many of the rumors about this phone were off the mark . The three handsome let - downs are that it does not run Windows Smartphone , it does n’t have a Secure Digital ( Coyote State ) medium expansion slot and it does n’t have an HTML web web browser . Aside from that , however , the rest of the spec gossip was pretty much right on the money .

The phone is running the touchstone Motorola “ PTK ” OS . It ’s a tri band GSM speech sound so it should treat you properly on any GSM web . Internally , it ’s very similar to the Motorola V series phones . It has a few tweaks here and there to account for the different hardware revision and full keyboard . And , like the V series , the telephone set has Bluetooth for connections to wireless syncing contacts and using the latest headset . It also skylark a zoomless VGA photographic camera , it can download MP3 ring tones , and the WAP web browser works for basic Web material in a collar . Finally , the A630 has AOL Instant Messenger - which we have to admit is pretty cute

While it does n’t exact to be a PDA the A630 has some of the features you might bear from one . The pretty introductory e - chain armor client is only workable , but since the phone has a full keyboard , it ’s actually reasonably useful . Although the 5 megs of storage on the gimmick is modified , it can put in enough e-mail to get by . And checking and replying to e - mail from the comfort of your barstool ( or Mungo Park judiciary , for those who do n’t drink during the day ) is a walkover .

“ Working ” from your speech sound is nice - but it ’s one-time news . The material reasonableness that anyone would want the A630 is for text electronic messaging . Too inebriated to figure out the prognostic textual matter comment on your current speech sound ? Well with the A630 , if you ’re drab enough to remember QWERTY then you should be okay .

What Motorola is really trying to do with the A630 is lend message to the masses . Not only e - mail , but textbook and instant messaging too , and with a keyboard on your earphone , it really is doable . The A630 is Motorola ’s first attack and on the sizing and attend front it ’s a decipherable winner . But there ’s still no corporate electronic messaging software for the little A630 , so if you ’re a wooing during the day you may have to mystify with that previous Blackberry - for now .

The earpiece is coming to Cingluar “ Real before long Now ” and should retail for about $ 250~$300 .
