Motorola A668 Mobile Phone Review

Motorola A668 Details

Freddy Hi Thanks for the feedback. I finally got mobile phone tools to work.

I must say I the joint and creaking sound made by the clam shell kinda annoyed me... I contacted the guys at Motorola and they told me that the phone was specifically engineered this way to prevent it from cracking... Its not loose... they just gave it a little extra room for the swivle.

I'm starting to really like this phone. The silver finish is so awesome, and puts most phone out there to shame in terms of appearance.

The major downfall however would be the lack of memory (8MB). Perhaps they should have left out some of the useless functions such as picture drawing to free up more memory for the phone.

What I find most enjoyable is the embedded colorful lights on the outside of the phone. When your phone rings, its flashes like disco lights (you can also change the color of these lights)... very groovy indeed!

The touchpad SMS writing takes longer than key punching (talking from an English writing perspective not Chinese) but once you get used to it, its actually very straight forward and simple.

Believe me this phone will turn heads everywhere you go. Forget the lack of Mp3 functions (go get an ipod if you want to listen to mp3s since phone radiation gives you cancer!) -- It's appearance makes up for everything -- And its a great price too!

uk The phone only allows midi formats.

Fareed No Bluetooth :( how come R V still in stone age

Dino Is there anny other software that will work with this cell. Having some problems with motorola phone tools. Also some people say that whep phone rings the light on the front flashes but mine does not flashes is there any way to turn it on. And one more thing, is there any way to put java games on the phone? Thanx...l

<unknown> 120x160 screen res. is a bit too low. motorola can do better. with 262K color screen that resolution sucks. don't cut corners motorola!

kk to diego,

if you are considering, a668 and v878, i have used both. from experience, v878 is a more practical phone, thinner, lighter, and generally pretty basic and a lot cheaper. a668 is a show off phone, the touch pad handwriting is impractical unless you want to write chinese which i rarely do and the 1.3 megapixel is just another for show thing...i have a 4mp dcam, why do i need a lousy 1.3 mp phone camera. then again, i got both phones for under 50 bucks so i can't complain.

Freddy HELP FOR THOSE WITH SOFTWARE PROBLEMS

The reason why everyone is having problems with the software detecting the phone is because the cd that comes with the phone isn't the correct version.

You need to update it to version 3.19e1 using the Live Update function located in the setup tab in the menu.

Only the 3.19e1 version will detect the Motorola A668. And you can't get it on cd, you can only get it by updating live through the internet...

Mobile Phone Tools makes life so much easier with this phone. Especially managing the phone book and transfering your pics to and from the phone to your PC. This is very important since the phone only has a 8MB memory capacity. You can also use it to transfer and compose midi sound files to use as your rings tones....

tochi how to print the picture from the phone, if they don't have infrared,blue tooth, and card slot?

Eric I love the phone, but my camera is not very clear at all, not bright either, and the flash is a waste (does nothing). Does anyone have this problem? Other phones with camera with less resolution are much clearer.

<unknown> isnt the resolution stupid?
