No its a 3 month old Cingular Sim Card. Its doing it less often now.
The volume is weaker than that of my i600.

The crippled BlueTooth really makes me mad though. :evil:

Martyburns,

Your photos are on par with the quality of photos I am getting with my mpx220. I noticed adjusting the saturation (right and left joystick in picture viewer) does affect the picture quality, but nothing substantial.

The other thing I learned very quickly is that it is *really* easy to take blurry pictures with this phone. I need to brace my hand against something to get crisp edges.

Overall the photo quality is what I would expec from a 1 megapixel camera. Better than my old sub-mega pixel camera and not as good as my wife's 2.5 MP camera. No complaints here.


Oh but that volume. BIG problem. Interesting too, because the speaker phone volume has been inconsistent (like my old PPC PE phone). Sometimes not audible, sometimes loud enough to make the speakers pop, all on the same volume level.

Thanks for the update and another view that the phone is not as bad as some feel it is. The pics are better than the I700 camera.

I've read reports there is no serial Bluetooth profile so you cannot use Bluetooth to sync via ActiveSync with a PC.

You have got to be freaking kidding me...the MPx220 isn't even available everywhere yet and its looking like a HUGE flop IMO. I hope I'm dead wrong and these issues can be fixed but it doesn't look good so far.

8O This is not good. Why include Bluetooth then? :twak: It's good for more than just wireless headsets.

Oh tell me it's not true. Why do carriers want to keep their customers in walled gardens?

This is another reason why I don't like camera phones. It makes the carriers greedy and hence restrictive.

So how are the photos transferred? Mail?

the phone has a connect via bluetooth option in activesync, but i can't try it as i have no other bt devices.

That feature only works if you already have a partnership established. There is no way to establish a BT partnership with this phone that I can see. The only thing it seems to provide is Headset and DUN capabilities. So far I cant even get DUN to work as i did on my v600.

What a let down this is

The Bluetooth crippling on the MPx220 is a disgrace. Is this Cingular's doing, or Motorola's? The volume problem is pure lack of quality assurance testing.

Those Nokia Series 60 clamshells are looking better all the time...

Maybe the Audiovox SMT5600 will be all its cracked up to be...I just wished it was not AT&T branded...
