MPx220 Official US Release On October 17
" Today, Motorola, Inc. announced the retail availability of the Motorola MPx220 in the United States. Designed to meet the needs of today's busy "pro- sumers" - including multi-tasking professionals and discriminating consumers - the Motorola MPx220 with Windows Mobile software delivers the perfect balance of business functionality and personal flair. The model MPx220 with Cingular service is initially available at Best Buy stores nationwide beginning Sunday, October 17 and will hit Cingular retail stores later next month."Ok... So If it's not official until this weekend, why was Best Buy running it in their local flyer last weekend? :? Oh well. if you're local Best Buy doesn't have the MPx220 yet, check for it on Sunday and they should.

An AT&T source of mine said Novenmber 3rd (or was it the 13th?  ops: )was the day. Either way, if he's correct, not long. He said its already showing up in their systems. |

I went to the "Digital Life" expo yesterday in NYC, and a Motorola rep said that Cingular has a 30-day exclusive for the MPX-220. So, it probably won't be available in other channels until after 11/16.
The screen is real small, I mean both vertical and horizontal, it is 10% smaller then the screen size on an MPX-200. Also, the screen is much brighter then a mpx-200, but it seemed the contrast was not as great, so a few areas on the screen looked like it was overexposed and could not make out the text very well. There was no "Brightness" setting. There was a "Contrast" setting, but it did not do anything for the main display (maybe it was for the external LCD which I forgot to check). The camera can also record video (I didn't know this previously).
Also, I got to play with the MPX - it's definitely bulky and heavy. They didn't have an ETA of availability because there are problems with the radio that is delaying it's release.

Just got mine today also (saturday). Whoo hoo!
Does anybody know about the motorola registration for a free bt headset? They don't seem to be opening it up for registration just yet, and none of my documentation in the box says how to register the phone.

I registered at Moto's site and have yet to receive any emails. I already have an HS810 which by the way is very nice. But it seems the FREEBIE is only for ATTWS customers. This is odd since the site didn't make that mention that only the first 1000 customers get one. Well its seem to me that BB and Cingular jumped the shark here and beat ATTWS to the punch.
