Motorola MPx Videos Emerge
For those of you who were concerned about the MPx's size and usability, you might want to check out these official-looking videos of how the device is held and manipulated using both of its hinges. Personally, I'm totally blown away -- the device doesn't look that large or unwieldy in the hand or against the face -- and I now desperately want one. :drool:

Impressive.....not nearly the "brick" people were characterizing it as without seeing it in context....

Nah, I predict someone will still say it's 'huge'. Or too squared off and ugly.
I dig it...

This looks amazing! I was thinking of going for the iPAQ 6000 when it comes out in the summer, but after seeing the MPx in action, I'm not so sure. The dual hinge thing is incredible. I can't wait to try it in person!

I've been waiting patiently for a reasonably sized pocketpc phone. This fits the bill, and the full keyboard and dual hinge are icing on the cake. I WANT ONE!

That, or the people in the videos are the big boned kind... :lol:
Now, seriously...
I think the form factor is absolutely innovative, but the implementation is a bit ugly. Don't really like Motorola designs. I'm more of a Nokia fan.
I always thought of Motorola designs as difficult and cumbersome to use. Well, in this case the OS is licensed, so it's not the case...
All in all, it's interesting. Anyone noticed the speaker nest to the camera in the lid? Does that mean you can answer the phone with the lid closed? That would be nice.
And, does anyone else thinks the screen is a bit small? What is that? 3"? 2,8"?

I agree that the screen size looks a tad small, but I'm ready for one of these! Please, T-Mobile, pick this up!!!

I definitely love new tech toys of all shapes and sizes but I don't remember the last time I wanted one as badly as this  I'm more excited about it than I was for my first PocketPC.

Agreed. I thought it was a brick until I saw this. It looks like a nice form-factor when in use.
I'm a bit bummed though. I don't think it can be used as a traditional Pocket PC. It looks like it is always a clamshell device. Not like the Sony Clie which does some cool screen flipping.
