You can use the stylus to input handwritten text, and the A925 has a handwriting recognition system that turns your writing into printed text, or you have the alternative option of putting a virtual QWERTY keyboard onto the screen, and then using the stylus to select the keys like a normal keyboard.

The Motorola A925 has an integrated VGA quality camera (640 x 480 pixels) and it can take pictures of three different sizes. This camera can take either still pictures or video, and when used as a video calling camera it can be rotated through 180 degrees to show the view towards or away from the user.

The MMS capability means that you are able to send and receive multimedia messages combining video, pictures, animations and sounds, as well as the usual formatted text.

With its video calling feature, this phone enables you to hold face-to-face video telephone calls with other compatible phones. The phone’s video capability also means that you can capture your own video clips, or download them, and then enjoy a video playback show.

The phone has good wireless connectivity using either a Bluetooth™ interface or an infrared link to connect up to compatible PCs, PDAs or other phones.
