Motorola's new A1000 3G Smartphone

a1000

Motorola just announced their latest 3G phone running the Symbian UIQ operating system, the A1000. Its predecessors, the A900 and A925, each had a lukewarm reception when they were made available by 3G carrier 3. The A900 was a boat of a handset and curiously lacked Bluetooth, while, the A925, launched just two weeks ago, swapped in Bluetooth and reducing the size a little bit. Well, Motorola must have been hard at work putting this latest smartphone on a serious diet. The A1000 keeps Bluetooth and the other features of the 925 (while upgrading the camera to 1.2 megapixels), but manages to be smaller and slimmer (though still not sexy yet, sorry, Moto) than either A900 or A925.
