MobileBurn.com editor Michael Oryl has posted a mini-review of the Motorola A760, the first in Motorola's pending line of embedded Linux based mobile phones. The review is generally negative; Oryl was unable to test the signal quality because the phone's dual-band GSM 900/1800 capabilities are not supported in… North America. However, he tested (and disliked) the user interface, and found the screen to have a “ruddy” quality. Softkey shortcuts are “counterintuitive,” and video playback is slow and choppy, according to Oryl. He also reported problems using the A760 with a headset.

The mini-review concludes with a lengthy series of photographs.
