A835/A920?

Ok, so here's the thing....

Having discovered that the NEC e606 'phone has a fault where it keeps dropping calls (

), '3' have agreed to upgrade my phone for free (Don't tell Russ!!), but I can't decide on whether to go for the Motorola A835 or the A920 that they have offered me, & would welcome any thoughts/opinions from anyone here.

According to one review the A920 is

Now I'm swaying towards the A920.

I don't have a problem with the line 'quality' as such, I can always hear people fine (& vice versa), it's just that when I go out of a 3G area & into a 2G one (or vice versa) the NEC e606 just drops the call & I have to redial (as you know!)

The NEC phone does not have the ability to hold calls while it switches networks, but all the others do.

Still can't make my mid up whether to go for A835 or A920 though!

A920 sounds like a better model than the A835 just cos the number is higher

And from looking at them the A920 (right) looks much better.

The A920 has some form of PDA function (although the A835 does to-they actually refer to it 'PIM'-personal information manager which does contacts/to do list etc)

So I think the A835 it is as it has better battery life etc.

But the A835 runs up the west coast of Scotland and is nowhere near the A920.

Or perhaps I got something wrong there...

(Interesting link though!)

The A920 is being replaced by the A925. The A920 can have its firmware upgraded to be a A925.

The A925 has bluetooth enabled the A920 doesn't.

*Goes off to check dimensions of both phones as A920 looks huge*

[Edit]-A920=146 x 60 x 22mm, & A835=137 x 55 x 26mm.

Still no closer to a decision.

The phones are huge. But you get used to it. The leather case you get with it also makes it impossible to hear ringing. Vibration alert wears the battery out quicker tho.

*Sways towards the A835*
