Motorola "Motosurf" A3100 touch WM6.1 phone

Yet another full screen WM6.1 (Windows Mobile 6.1) touch phone. Boring. Wait, it's Motorola, and it's 3.5G WCDMA? By merely looking at the outlook, you will immediately realise it's not the crappy Q9 monstrosity.

We have sources that it is confirmed that Motosurf A3100 will be available on January 2009. Following the footsteps of HTC and friends, Sony Xperia X1, and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic etc, Motorola, unfortunately, falls amongst the slowest manufacturer to launch a full screen touch phone.

Let's have a look on its specifications.

A big boo for no crystal talk feature. However this feature caught our attention:

1 - Up to 6.8 hours of talk time - A WM phone cannot achieve that easily. Bravo if it's real.

2 - Oh, "Connect with friends and update your status with one-touch access to Facebook". Nice function the social butterflies (We will compare it with same program on Xperia and iPhone once we get the A3100.)

Other than these two functions, nothing too special. We expect it will be around US$550 or HK$4,380. Don't buy it above that price. Seriously.

The screen size is 2.8 inch, the same as HTC Touch Diamond, but it's the edge of A3100 that gives the impression that the screen is smaller.

We believe that there are lots of choices for similar specification as Motosurf A3100. It is recommended that you try as much possibilities as possible before deciding to buy which one. Youtube is your friend. :)
