T-Mobile to Axe the MPx?
Double trouble from Motorola-Land today. According to rumor, T-Mobile has DROPPED the MPx100 Smartphone from its scheduled rollout, and is considering doing the same with the MPx. Several sites are all over this one, so word on whether this is true should be along shortly. Stay tuned, and if there's something you'd like to tell Motorola (just in case), feel free... :mrgreen:

OK... so they are going to make me wait until the MDA III is available here in the US! When will that be? (NEVER!)
T-Mobile needs to catch up....

I wonder why T-Mobile dropped the phone. Maybe they have some serious reception/stability problems that T-Mobile just doesn't want to deal with?

A smart move, it is.
Just look at the picture, aargh. 0X and think about the more than $700 pricetag.

heh yeah nobody will want to pay 700+ for a phone unless they are from that niche community. The US is too blinded by the cheap free phones you get with a contract signup to even hardly consider paying the real price for any cell phone. I just wish it was easier to buy the phones I want to use that you can get on the street in Europe like we can from a hotdog from a street hotdog vendor.
Plus T-Mobile US could not get a good phone out in the amount of time for any get to want due to the fact they cant even stick with scheduled project finish dates. I have been a customer with them since the Powertel days and I dont think they ever rolled anything out ontime including your bills.

Blinded by chaep phones or not but perhaps $700 is just too much for a phone no matter what it can do. I certainly would not consider it. Perhaps we should get Dell into the cell business to show everyone what is and is not reasonable to pay for one of these things.
