I used to have the Mot A780, which was a precursor to this phone. The 780 was a great phone and ahead of its time: embedded Linux, EDGE data, the flip actually had an external number pad and could be used for text messaging and the phone could be answered with the flip up or down, it came with Opera for the web browser, it was one of the first phones to use transflash/microSD, and a host of other items. Mot has been going backwards ever since and has provided no support for these phones in terms of updates and software. These phones have so much potential, but as always Mot fails to take advantage of them at all.
