Another Motorola MPx Video
"Thanks to our friends at Mobile Gadget News, we've been pointed to a new video of the Windows Mobile 2003 based MPx. The video, which appears to be that of a demo unit (much as you'd see in mobile phone stores, where the device itself doesn't operate, but the physical attributes are accurately reproduced), is provided by Mobile-dreams.net. It depicts more or less every aspect of the phone - other than the actual operation of Windows Mobile - and seeing it handled in person is even better (to me) than the previous previous videos, which looked like somewhat more "marketing" focused."
Mobile-Dreams.net has one of the more detailed close-up videos of the Motorola MPx that I've seen. It's strange because the device somehow looks bigger in this video than in the others - we need a standard hand size. ;-) You can pre-order an MPx today if you want to get it as soon as possible.

I still think it looks relatively small (small in PPC standards). Who is to say the hand sizes are big or small? Many tell me my hands are gigantic... but they seem normal to me. I hope I can type on that thing!

I have a Kyocera 7035 Palm smartphone (I know, I know - but I needed a CDMA smartphone, and this was all I could get from Telus last summer - other than the crappy Thera). Anyway, it is almost exactly the same size as the Mpx, though thicker, so if you can find info and more pictures on that, it will help. As for me, I have relatively small hands, and I find the Kyocera to be reasonable for a phone - certainly I wouldn't want it larger, so the fact that the MPx is a little bit smaller is definitely a plus.
Some people have told me my Kyocera reminds them of the original Moto flip phones in size, and like the fact that the mic is at your mouth level, instead of up somewhere by your ear like many of the new tiny phones. I had an XDA for a while, and this is definitely more comfortable to hold (and people don't look at you like you're a weirdo).
My 2c. I'd love this to be CDMA, but I think I'll have a long wait. Sigh.

It's kind of a funny video. :lol: The guy couldn't open it right, got his hand slaped, and the sales person had come in and to show him how to do it right.

I thought we already saw this video here. Oh well, if not here, I saw it somewhere else a number of days ago. But I don't think the phone is too big or any bigger than any of the other videos myself, but each to his own.
I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! :multi:
Hopefully, Moto will get the battery life right on this thing, which is the most important issue in a device such as this.

CF Slot????
Was that a CF slot hiding behind the rubber cover? It looked WAY to wide to be a secure digital slot!!!
This thing is UBER-COOL. Motorola will sell MILLIONS!!!!
I also suspect that the folks at HP AND Sony are probably hard at work right now trying to create a knockoff product.
I can really see a lot of overpriveliged kids running around with things. It provides all the IM that they want from a device and a keyboard. It LOOKS like a phone AND has the built in camera. The fact that it will play REAL games and handle REAL tasks like email, writing documents, organizing, scheduling, etc... is probably just enough to get mom & dad to buy them (one for themselves too).
One thing really is necessary. Microsoft needs to add a photo field to pocket Outlook. I can see teens and college kids snapping pictures of new friends and dumping them STRAIGHT into outlook.
To those of us who have ZERO memory (the natural kind, not silicon), that would be a DREAM!!!!!
Slap a low profile Wi-fi card in the side and you'd have EVERYTHING that a teen/college/young professional/professional, would want in a device.
Serious, I think they will sell millions. This is an "iPaq 3600" style device that will DEFINE a new standard and spawn a host of copies.

Finally! A "real" video!
I'm actually glad that it's this size - remember we still need a decent keyboard and screen.

No CF slot, SD only. Photo field: agreed! WiFi is already included in it! :-D
