Default InfoSyncWorld Reviews the MPx220

http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/5657.html

"It's been almost a year since Motorola's first Windows Mobile smartphone, the MPx200, came to market. Anticipation for the MPx220 has been great, given its improved specifications and use of Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Smartphone, which has a leg or three up on Smartphone 2002 which powered the MPx200. Despite its improvements, however, the MPx220 retains some of the flaws of its predecessor - so do the pros outweigh the cons?"

Oh I don't know, anyone here have an opinion on this? Frankly I think they were generous with their evaluation.

the 220 is my first smart phone. Im coming from a se z600. So far so good. I don't agree with a lot of things that review has to say. I think the phone is really solid. The only thing I can say that sucks is the volume issue...hopefully Motorola will make the rom update available for download. But this phone is pretty solid!

I find it to be alot better than the i600. The volume has been a non issue for me since I have the FW1.3. Reviews are like alot of things everyone has one and none are full accurate.

i disagree with the review.

am i the only one who doesn't have problems with the volume?

am i the only one whos battery life doesn't seem to last nearly as long as advertised and most reviews say it does? 7-8 hours pass and i'm running on one bar of battery power

The camera sucks, otherwise the phone seems fine to me.

Look, I've gone through 3 versions of this phone. I like it too but there is no excuse for the way they let the first version out the door, period. Maybe I expect too much for my $500 I don't know. :x

I totally understand, no offense meant. Its not perfect, far from it, and upgrades seem to be difficult at best. I have only had mine a week.

I have issues with the audio quality, especially coming from the z600. But the quality isn’t terrible, just isn’t as loud as it should be. I just received my second phone from att and its still the old firmware….so I guess I’ll have to wait for moto to release a downloadable firmware update. If you take a look at the pics on the pc….you’ll see the pic quality is far better than most phones!
