Motorola MPx Now Shipping...in Brunei
"We also have some good and some bad news. The good news is that the Motorola�s MPx Pocket PC Phone, which it�s fair to say we�ve been keeping an eye on ever since we first learned about it nearly a year ago, has finally hit stores. The bad news, which is especially bad for anyone who couldn�t be bothered to read to the end of our headline for this post, is that according to a tipster living there, those stores are in Brunei. We just checked Orbitz for flights, and the cheapest one we could find to Brunei was $1,832 on Northwest. Moto still hasn�t said when the MPx might make an appearance in this hemisphere, but we can probably wait this one out."
MPx. 32 MB of RAM. Brunei. Must leave the room now. :roll:

OR...
Or, you can go to eBay and buy from several reputable sources. I'm expecting mine tomorrow! Looking forward to a pair of comptable bluetooth stereo headphones. Logitech?

I had to read that twice because I thought that was the price of the MPx. :duh: Or is it?

For that price, I'd expect the PERFECT smartphone... with A LOT more RAM... that's for sure...

As cool as this device is, I don't think I could go back to even a 64mb RAM device after getting the 128mb in my SX66. I now install programs into main RAM with impunity and get a DEFINITE performance increase. It is nice to spend an afternoon surfing without running out of memory. 32mb is just so year 2000! ukeface:

Honestly...with Moto's QC issues as of late I would be scared to buy one of these units right now. :roll:

with 32mb or RAM if I did not know any better I would say that is must be a Palm. That's pathetic.

Having seen this device for the first time at the CES, I could only come up with one word to describe it:
Eh.
I wasn't terribly impressed.
It's big, the keyboard is kinda weird, and it's unbelievably bulky. Plus it'll be stupidly expensive and doesn't have nearly enough RAM to be functional at the level I expect my Pocket PC's to function at.
As a phone, it's kinda neat, but I'm not looking for a really big phone with a marginal PPC right now. Considering what Samsung, Benq, and Audiovox are offering in the way of PPCPE devices, this one is a major disappointment.

The only thing that will save this device is if it shows up here with 128MB RAM... Otherwise, it's DOA...
What a shame...
