The A830 was the first 3G/UMTS handset released by Motorola. It featured Bluetooth, UMTS (3G) access and services, tri-band GSM for travel and a detachable VGA camera which replaced the battery cover of the handset. The handset was mostly distributed by Hutchison's 3 network.
Released in late 2002, the A830 was later replaced by the superior A835. While quite advanced for the time, some users expressed concern that this model was plagued by issues common to first-generation products, including limited battery life, software lockups and awkward implementation of text editing.
