Speaking of disappointments, Mobitopia has some problems with Motorola’s new 3G A920 smartphone, which is being offered by 3 in the UK. Sure, the built-in GPS is exciting, but they’re not so thrilled by the A920’s huge size, or the fact that 3 won’t let you actually use it to check your own email account (just a “3mail” account). But what annoys them the most is the fact that even though the A920 can run many of the hundreds of software applications available for the Sony Ericsson P800 (they both run essentially the same operating system) 3 decided to lock the phones so that only software pre-approved by them can be installed.
