DesignTechnica Reviews Motorola Accompli 009

Ian Bell writes: "Designtechnica does a review of Motorola's new Accompli 009 2-way communicator. 'The ACCOMPLI sports the standard cast of communication and organization features - voice calling, calendar (syncs with Outlook or other personal information management programs), contacts, SMS, web browser, and a splash of ring tones and games. Not so standard is an RF modem that enables you to connect to the Internet through a data cable and operate as you would from a PC... ' While the features look good on paper, the unit has little to be desired. This is the first full review of the Accompli 009 on the net. Thanks guys."

Target price?

When the reviewer says there's "little to be desired", to whom is he referring? A more geeky, tech-savvy audience or the everyday user? It has SMS, GPRS, and a whole host of other features that will soon be standard in all portable communications equipment. Sure, you can't run Linux on it or create a Beowulf cluster of them, but I can't see what's left "to be desired". I think this is a great combination of a portable communications device with PDA-like functionality. Can anyone point me to anything better that has these so-called desired features?

See, I don't know about you guys, but just looking at the specs and the picture of it made me want it. (I'm impulsive that way. :-) )

Finally, a use for flash...

Here you can play with a simulation of the full phone. You can practice making, and receiving calls (the assumption being that once you use it, you'll think you need one!)

If you choose not to press "skip intro", I challenge you to make it through the whole intro without laughing. Keep your headphones on.
