This Windows Mobile device is by far the most advanced Microsoft Smartphone announced to date, with quad-band GSM, Bluetooth, megapixel camera, and dual color displays. The phone seems solid and well-designed, with good ergonomics. The outer display is decent quality - not as bad as some photos floating around the 'net had previously led me to believe. The phone is a bit large, but not excessively so. Still, reducing the size is one of Motorola's key goals for future models. The MPx220 is currently slated to be available from both AT&T Wireless and Cingular in October."</i><br /><br />Among the various bits of news from Phone Scoop's coverage of the Motorola event, there's mention of the release date of the MPx220: October. This is later than most of us had hoped - I was expecting it to be available in August. If it's going to be released by two US carriers in October, perhaps <a href="http://estore.shopplex.com/app/storefront.aspx?cat_id=162&inv_id=40507121601319&modid=30214092059015&aid=5">the unlocked version</a> will be released earlier than that. Here's hoping we can get our hands on this phone before October! :-)
