Motorola A920 has every potential to become a P800 killer.
It's a smartphone using UIQ and it's got built in GPS and it
will record video out of the box (this is "news" taken from swedish mobile magazine www.mobil.se and shouldn't be taken as facts).
I suppose in this device there's all the features that we wanted in our P800s.
Will this device be the P800 killer?

seems ok to me, would be nice not having to use memory stick duo cards. however i think this phone will be far to big and ugly in comparison to a p800.
having a gps would be nice however

I was told by Motorola officials at cebit that neither the A760 nor the A920 will make it to Europe. Their for the Asian market. Maybe later for the U.S. market. So no reason to think about the phone if you're from the EU
Why? NO clue at all. Maybe it does not comply with EU standards. I've heard that some of the latest Motorola models have the worst emissions ever and should be considered dangerous... who knows...
The only thing that Motorola has going for it is GPS and the SD slot (which I wish the SE P800 dearly had).
It's ugly, it has an external antenna, it's a "brick" (from the company who invented the brick cell phone), and I'd be worried about the screen being trashed.
To the guy who says it's Asian market only: I don't think so. It's heavily targetted at the Euro market with its UMTS protocols.

The phone is Huge! Is it really for Asian market? If you read the article it says its designed for european 3g tech. No keypad? Naaaah, it look like a PDA more of than a Phone unlike the P800 you get the best of both worlds!
Motorola never had the flair for phone designs. Strange that they are so popular...
Maybe what you meant brick is that Motorola used to be popular. Maybe like 15 years ago 😊😊😊
He He He
Motorola are so lame... 😃 😃 😃
One thing I gv credit to motorola for is the durability of their phone, throw it out the window and you;; still have a good phone, well this was like 8 years ago 😊
But does it have bluetooth?? Seems like many of p800's competitors lack bt.
when i first used a motorola L7089 (first tri-band phone big wow!)
i was astonished at how crap the menus work and how illogical it was to have to go into phone book to send a text message, or somet like that
i thought it might have lost something in translation from japanese...then i found out that it was an american company!?
you'd think it would be dead simple for them american types -)
the other stupid "feature" was text messages would come in and the phone was too lazy to match their number with their name in your address book
txt msg
....blah...blah

oh yeah...that's dave!
crap
I agree with you nealac. I remember my brother used to own a Motorola V series a couple of years ago. He reminds everyone who sends him sms to include their name at the end of the message coz only their numbers appear even thugh they are in the phone directory. Sheeesh! It was so damn lousy. And muzikfreash, i agree with you. Motorola used to make durable phones. Ummmm I think the last great fone they have was the Ultraclassic and Microtac series. That was like.....ten years ago? Nope maybe 15 😊😊😊
That Motorola looks like a peice of s@#$. The designers need to lift their game.
Design wise, I think only Sony Ericsson (OK OK, discount T300) and SOME Nokias get it.
Samsung, Motorola etc just don't have that edge in aesthetics. Siemens had it a while ago, but they are losing it after the 45 series golden era. Now they are just trying too hard. SL55 looks like a flashy plastic toy in silver coating rather than the class act that SL45 was, even with the antenna.
I agree 😊 Looks is very improtant nowadays, they go in par with performance already.
The A920 killed itself already even before it is launched.
😊
I think we should not compare it with P800, cause this is a 3G phone. The next generation-it�s not fair, there are more functions possible.
Ciao

take a look at the sony ericsson 3G phone.
