I wonder what the final price will be... Verizon is offering the i600 for $500 with a 2 year contract - 600 with a 1 year (ouch).

I hope this comes under that - cheaper cost means more people will buy and use it :wink:

As many people that seem to be getting this phone in their hands its completely absurd at this point that it hasn't been officially announced by Motorola. Yes, a press release appeared for a day or two and then was taken off their site, obviously it wasn't official in any way. Are the any upcoming events/conferences for telecom that they may be waiting on to announce it?

I cannot wait for this phone though... :werenotworthy:

I was at Best Buy yesterday and noticed that AT&T is selling MPx200 for $200! Is it because they want to clear the stock or because no one wants to pay big money to be on their network?

[possmann]

I'm thinkin (which is dangerous) that they are starting to clear stock - will be doing that for at least a month and then whammo - the announcement in September for shipping in October.

That is just my SWAG

How come nobody is talking about the Rose (I think thats what Rosa means) colored MPx220?!

And also do you like the silver border around the internal screen. I wish it were simple like MPx200. This device is narrower than MPx200 and the silver border makes the screen area even more narrower!!
