Earlier this month at the mobile phone industry’s most prestigious award show, the Mobile News Awards 2005, the Motorola A1000 was crowned the winner in the Technological Advance category for its truly fantastic 3G functionality. The judges believed the handset was, “the best 3G phone on the market - big design advance. A small, usable phone that utilises all 3G features.”

Mobile News is one of the UK’s leading mobile magazines and the awards are now in their eleventh year. This year’s panel of judges was a hand picked collection of respected dealers, industry veterans and other mobile industry specialists.
