Motorola MPx220 and MPx200 Rumours: Sheer Chaos

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page501.html' target='_blank'>http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page501.html</a><br /><br /></div>The number of rumours regarding Motorola's Smartphones is a good indicator of it's popularity, but it can be difficult to sort out fact from fiction. This article on MTekk helps out in that regard, as they've scoured various online forums and collected some interesting data:<br /><br />"The Motorola MPx200 upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003, and the release of the Motorola MPx220 have caused much speculation, according to Matt M ... So much speculation about a couple of phones (read here, here, here, and here) - it's amazing the level of interest that everyone has in this. Hell, even Verizon, AT&T, and Motorola have been spotted perusing our site - maybe they're trying to find out what they're meant to be doing... who knows... What I find of most interest is the little forum discussions popping up everywhere. Here's a few of note..."<br /><br />Definitely worth a read!

Wow. The buzz around these phones is just crazy.

I think Verizon, AT&T, and Motorola are hanging around their site looking to see if any info has slipped out. Of course, it could also be employees that have no inside information on these devices, and are just browsing the web on lunch break. :wink:

Hey guys,

Appreciate the link :-) Sometimes a summary of what's around can be really useful and save some effort.

You might also be interested that the MPx200 looks set to hit the Asia market very soon. Have a look - http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page506.html. All in all, great news for our area! :-)

The MPx200/220 AND the V600 - have you guys seen how much hype there is about the V600. Sure it isn't a Smartphone, but if they could just combine the specs of the V600 with Smartphone 2003 I think you would have one heck of a phone! All alone the V600 is pretty darn smart looking.

What I want to know is whether or not the Mx220 and Mx300 will be fully unlocked for use with T-Mobile, or whether Moto will be offering a T-Mobile branded Mx220/Mx300.

I'm with T-Mobile, and I won't switch carriers just for a phone. Moto - don't leave us T-Mo users in the cold!!! We want Smartphones, too!!!

I recall reading something about Tmobile offering a smartphone (motorola one) sometime this summer (Q2 - ish). I pretty sure the post is on this site...

I love Tmo and will not switch - in fact I seriously debated purchasing the current 2002OS (moto) but seeing that there is no bluetooth and (at the time) was no upgrade path planned for the phone I deceided to wait until moto either comes out with an upgrade or 2003 OS phone - wohoo.
