Motorola A835
Here’s Motorola’s A835, my first-ever experience with a 3G phone. And boy, did it ever suck. My then-girlfriend and I rented a pair of them from a Vodafone kiosk at Tokyo’s Narita airport in January, 2006. The one in the photo is a 3-branded dummy, in case you wondering.
Despite being unlocked and able to accept my Fido SIM card, I couldn’t get this thing to use data or even make phone calls. Best I could do was send SMS. In the midst of the world’s most advanced mobile phones this was fairly humiliating.
The browser didn’t end up making a connection. It never did.
The A835 was good for one thing: it gave me an opportunity to hear that craptacular “Hello Moto” ringtone for the first time. Hardly enough to justify two phone rentals and international text surcharges, though.
Hey dude! which another ringtones have this phone? Can you post a video with all of them? thank you 😀
Sorry, this was a handset I rented in Japan for a week back in 2006.
Hello, please mind is still carrier lock probably to Vodafone. I will appreciate any ideas on how to unlock. Thanks for any assistance
