			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to get myself a New Year gift and picked up a new Moto Ming (Motorola A1200). The listed Maximum retail price is Rs. 18370, while I picked it up for Rs 16,500 (INR). So here is my first attempt at a phone review.</p>
<div align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="The Box" href="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1027.JPG"><img id="image274" height=96 alt="The Box" src="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1027.thumbnail.JPG" /></a> <a class="imagelink" title="Phone on the Box" href="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1028.JPG"><img id="image275" height=96 alt="Phone on the Box" src="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1028.thumbnail.JPG" /></a> <a class="imagelink" title="The phone display" href="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1029.JPG"><img id="image276" height=96 alt="The phone display" src="http://blog.sajithm.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/DSCN1029.thumbnail.JPG" /></a></div>
<p><strong>In the Box</strong><br />
The box includes the phone, three styluses, travel charger, USB data cable, 512MB Transflash (T-Flash, micro-SD) card with a mini-SD adapter, stereo headset and the manual.</p>
<p><strong>Design and Construction</strong><br />
If you have used A780 (as I have), you should not have any trouble getting used to the A1200. The unit feels solid, well built but not too heavy or bulky (A780 qualifies as a bit bulky). I liked the black matte look, kind of looks cool and has a feel similar to the PEBL. The front cover is hard translucent plastic, but allows clear screen display (better than expected). On the negative side, the flip is a bit tough to open (or am not yet used to it). Also the memory slot is under the battery, which means changing memory cards is a pain.</p>
<p><strong>Display</strong><br />
Bright and clear LCD display with a resolution of 240&#215;320. Good enough for most purposes. The text is clear and sharp, perfectly readable even when you set the text size to small.</p>
<p><strong>Input</strong><br />
Handwriting input is pretty nice, but pretty much similar to A780. It still gets confused between l (small L) and i (small I), but then maybe itâ€™s just my handwriting&#8230; The on-screen keyboard is quite usable; you can type with the stylus but don&#8217;t try typing with your fingers. Support for HID profile is missing, so don&#8217;t think of hooking up a keyboard to your phone.</p>
<p><strong>Memory</strong><br />
8MB internal memory is a sad joke. Free 512MB micro-SD compensates for it though.</p>
<p><strong>Built in Programs</strong><br />
Frankly, I don&#8217;t care as you can always download the ones you like, or write your own. Anyways, the supplied programs are fine &#8211; acceptable sort of thing.</p>
<p><strong>Camera</strong><br />
Takes decent pictures if the lighting is good. Has a macro mode so take very close, close-ups. Here are some pictures taken with the camera to give you a hang of the quality.</p>

<p><strong>A phone is for making calls</strong><br />
Good audio quality. Signal reception is pretty good too. </p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
A nice phone for a decent price tag. If you are looking for a new phone, you should consider A1200 :-)</p>
