Default MPx Rumor Update

http://www.phonemag.com/index.php/w...tphone_updates/

"PhoneMag.com just got an update by the same reliable and trusted Asian carrier source that the first batch of MPx smartphone will only have 32MB of memory releasing in mid December. This is an update to the November 30, 2004 release date in our previous article. Motorola is expected to release a second generation MPx with 64MB of memory in Spring of 2005. The specific release date is still undetermined, but we�ll keep you posted as soon as we know."

None of this is confirmed, but if this ends up happening, I'd probably wait until the second version of the MPx to be released. :|

Not surprised if it does. Typical Motorola. First designing what could be the ugliest mobile ever (IMO) then this.

If you click the link that they provide it shows that it is... "Coming Soon" as opposed to available now.

The MPx is NOT yet shipping, no matter what any Web site says.

I thought that the mpx had a different combination of memory. So the ram was used like a normal pc for running apps and the rom was used as a storage medium like a hard drive. The logic being that if the battery went flat and didn�t get recharged then you�d only loose what was running.

If that�s the case then 32 mb would be fine.

:evil: I think I'll wait till Hell freezes over - one ugly (expletive deleted) bit of kit suddenly became absolutely worthless! I thought O2 had learnt that lesson with the XDA. WAKE UP MOTOROLA - just cancel it - by the time it arrives it will be about as 'state of the art' as a Psion 3 Classic. What IS all the fuss about!!! 8O
