Motorola A630 was introduced in 2004 Q1. PCmag reviews the Motorola A360 and writes, “As a phone, the A630 has a beefy, hearty speaker and sounds great through a Bluetooth or wireless headset, although the speakerphone is a bit quiet. The unit has marathon talk time: seven hours and 37 minutes with Bluetooth turned off, in our tests. It’s easy to switch between speaker and speakerphone, too: Flip the A630 open, or flip it closed. Motorola claims five-plus hours of talk time with Bluetooth turned on and up to 200 hours of standby time, well above the industry average.”

CNET reviews the Motorola A630 and writes, “The Motorola A630 has all the features you’d expect in a mobile and more. The handset’s internal phone book holds 1,000 names, and you can store at least an additional 250 entries on the SIM card. Also onboard is caller ID (when available), voicemail, voice-activated dialing, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calculator, a to-do list, and wireless Web access via Cingular Wireless’s high-speed GPRS data network. The A630 comes with 21 (24-chord) polyphonic ring tones, MP3 tones, a vibrate mode, and Java (J2ME) games, and you can download more. You can also record short voice memos or send IMs from the handset.”

Gizmodo reviews the Motorola A630 and writes, “What Motorola is really trying to do with the A630 is bring messaging to the masses. Not only e-mail, but text and instant messaging too, and with a keyboard on your phone, it really is doable. The A630 is Motorola’s first attempt and on the size and looks front it’s a clear winner. But there’s still no corporate messaging software for the little A630, so if you’re a suit during the day you may have to stick with that old Blackberry-for now.”

NextGen Electronics reviews the Motorola A630 and writes, “Downloading your favorite ring tones, games, and even a handy calculator for figuring out how much to tip are included with the A630. As with most phones and providers you must subscribe to an extra service in order browse the web, download full versions of games and or use some of the added features. The camera on the A630 isn’t half bad and it is always fun to take pictures of friends and family and then have the pic pop up on your phone when they call. There are a couple of different ways to take photos. You can take pictures in MMS (160×120), Medium (320×240), or High (640×480) resolution mode and save as many images up to 5MB. There are quite a few games that you can download and spend countless hours trying to conquer, but then again your battery won’t last nearly as long.”

Mobiledia reviews the Motorola A630 and writes about design, “The exterior of the A630 is rather unassuming. The front features a grayscale external display similar to many models on the market today. Its layout is stereotypical of most phone designs, with standard placement of the 5-way navigation and numeric keypads, and a lens that peeks out from the top right corner, able to capture photos at up to 640 x 480 px.”
