MPx220 Now Available From Best Buy & Cingular

[Mike Temporale]

We just received word that the Motorola MPx220 is officially in stores now. Best Buy is selling Cingular branded version for $349.99 with a contract or $499.99 without a contract. It is also worth mentioning that they are unlocked devices.I can't confirm this, and there is nothing on their website. Anyone want to run out to their local Best Buy and check for us? Update: It looks to be official. There are a number of posts reporting which stores have them in stock. :rock on dude!: If you're local Best Buy has them, please post and let the rest of the readers know. 8)

Can people report in the store location as they get them? I know people in CA have them. I don't think they've made it east yet.

I'll check out stores in the Portland area this weekend. Cingular doesn't have a presence in Oregon at all, though, so I don't expect much.

I have to wait until it becomes available at CompUSA - I have a replacement plan on my MPX200 there, so I'll be able to get credit towards the MPX220. But this is great news that it's finally becoming available!

Also, it's awesome that they're unlocked! Any idea if this is a Cingular-only thing, or if the ATTWS version will be unlocked, too? I'll likely get the ATTWS version from CompUSA, but I'm on T-Mobile, and I was planning on having to unlock it. It would be great if I didn't have to bother with that extra step.

I just got off the phone with my local Best Buy (Indianapolis, IN) -- and while it was more encouraging than my last visit ("I have no idea what you're talking about."), all I received was a "Oh, THAT phone, no, we don't have it in stock yet, and we have no specifics regarding the date it will be in stock." -- but the indication was it would be in stock at some point...



If someone who has one at their local store will PM me, I'd be interested in buying it "remotely"

Have I mentioned to anyone that I sold my beloved pocket pc and assorted gadgets about 2+ months ago so I could get this phone? Anybody wonder why I'm so anxious!??!? 8O

I'd do a remote purchase as well. I am also in Indianapolis so PM me if you see them anywhere.

I'll be checking my local Best Buy in a couple hours. I'll let you know.

Maybe we can go together with the same person and save on shipping 8)

That's fine. I think they must be coming out of Asia and they haven't made it east yet. I even called St. Louis and they didnt have any. Where is their midwest warehouse?

Inspite of the headache I have, I am so excited by this news that I called two stores Rochester, NY and Syracuse, NY: both do not have the phone and have no idea. :-( But they know that it is a PDA phone. :-)

Update: These stores are in upstate NY.

Buffalo, NY: Some time next week. Priced around $350. No idea about rebates or contract conditions.
