Tomorrow I’ll be contacting T-Mobile and Amazon to cancel my account and return the Motorola A630. I could live with the ways that Motorola fouled up the phone but T-Mobile just keeps making it worse. First was the T-Zones port blocking. Then there were the problems getting e-mail provisioning to work. And the piss-poor web […]

A630 Goes Buh-Bye
10Jan05Crippled?
28Dec04I can’t get MobileAtom J2ME, MIDlog, or Azure weblog clients to work on my A630. The latter two support Movable Type, tail‘ng my server logs I see that a request never arrives. I do get the “Allow network access” prompt.
Is T-Mobile doing stuff to muck with port 80 on T-Zones plans, or is the A630 […]
Dumping
27Dec04I didn’t buy the LCD television I wanted for Christmas because I kept reading that prices will decline after the holidays.
Mom is loving her new iBook, but the first words out of her mouth were Is it IBM compatible? Hell no, and that was a selling point! It’s no longer safe for ordinary users to […]
More A630
23Dec04It really is small.
If I had designed the A630 the navigation button would have been placed to the left of the screen with the two soft keys and send / end on the opposite side. This would have allowed enough space for a more traditional keyboard layout with a large space bar and […]
A630 Arrives
21Dec04My Motorola A630 order arrived yesterday, around four weeks after I ordered it.
The good: It’s small and quite handsome. Battery life seems impressive. I’ve had it off the charger for about 30 hours, Bluetooth on, about 90 minutes talking (around 30 minutes on my Bluetooth headset and 30 on speakerphone), probably two hours of “playing”, […]
A630 Will Soon Be Mine
20Nov04T-mobile has launched the Motorola A630 for $300, no rebates, and Amazon is listing it again for $100 after a $200 rebate but the ship time still says 4-6 weeks.
Auf wiedersehen, CingulAT&T.
PS: The T-Zones Overview says the difference between T-Zones and T-Zones Pro is unlimited access to corporate e-mail. How does that translate into a […]
Another new toy…
27Oct04My Audiovox SMT5600 arrived this morning. Everyone at work is impressed by the large screen and compact form. It compares favorably to just about everything they’ve held up to it so far. Getting ActiveSync working with my laptop over Bluetooth was a challenge — fortunately I remembered Phonemag’s instructions. That first step was the missing […]
Outlook Hazy
13Oct04After word came out this weekend that some Best Buy stores started selling the Motorola MPx220 I was disappointed to find that none in my area had them. Turns out maybe I got lucky — it’s 1.3MP camera sucks major ass. The webcam I picked up for $15 at Walmart two years ago takes much […]
