Title: Motorola A1000
Post by: on August 08, 2005, 02:58:30 PM

Motorola A1000 Smartphone (http://direct.motorola.com/eng/Web_ProductHome.asp?country=GBR&language=ENG&productid=29249)

This baby rocks!  It's even got a GPS navigator built in. :-)

I wonder if it has a PPC inside it rather than an ARM?

It runs the Symbian OS.  I'll get it in the post tomorrow, so I'm off to find cool software for it!

Anyone else got one of these?

Nah, it will be an ARM based dragonball.

Oh yes, I forgot the Dragonball wasn't 68k based anymore.

Still, I'm looking forward to playing with the SDK.

Unless you want to open up your phone, this site might give you an insight into the guts of the phone.

-Edit- Looks to me like (And no, I'm not opening up my V3 to confirm) Motorola are using a standard Texas Instruments ARM7 based CPU.

I take it that it doesn't have a 68000...

Would be cool if it had a Coldfire, or 68k based Dragonball CPU.

Alas it doesn't.

Anyone up for an AROS port to ARM? :-)

Does it still make phonecalls and fit in a small trouserpocket?

Yes, but it has no number buttons to make calls with!

It's trouser pocket shaped too, which is convenient. ;-)

Looks like Motorola use the PIC microcontroller in their phones :-?
