Motorola A780
Practical questions
1. Is this phone conference call capable?
2. Can you switch to speaker or hands free during the call?
3. Can you take pictures during the call (provided you are on speaker or hands free)?
4. Can you turn off power to the “phone part” and continue use “camera part”? (Let say aboard the airplane)
5. Can you watch movies on this phone and in what format?
Thanks a lot!
1) yes
2) yes
3) yes, even if you're not on speaker or hands free. Pressing the camera button while on a call actually starts recording the call, which I think is pretty cool. You can still launch the camera app from the menu and take pics.
4) Yes, you can turn off the antena and leave all other functionality enabled.
5) yes, Real Player built in. I know that it plays .MP3 files; the phone actually works pretty well as an mp3 player with the supplied stereo headphones. Haven't tried playing .mpg/.avi video files on it.
6) The only reason not to get this phone, IMHO, is if you need to be able to edit MS Office documents. You can open and view them with this phone, but you can't make changes.
