Display
At the heart of the Motorola A780 is a 2.5-inch TFT resistive touchscreen, which was quite advanced for its time. Offering 65K colors and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, the screen’s 4:3 aspect ratio provided a viewing experience suitable for the phone’s array of functionalities. The highlight here is the touchscreen coupled with handwriting recognition capabilities, making it a versatile tool for inputting data and navigating through menus, albeit with the unavoidable limitations of resistive technology where finger input can sometimes be less responsive than expected with today's capacitive displays.
