My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Sorry I am a little desappointed with speed : my SPVe200 is much faster, at least concerning opening applications by clicking menu items

iPaq 1940 - Sony Ericsson t68i - and of course SPV e200.
Formerly SE P800 and Treo 270

Looks pretty neat. Was a bit disappointed that existing SD card won't fit and that external screen is still a bit naff (in comparison to some non-smartphones out there).

One question though, and forgive me if this is a dumbass one, but what is the "Quad" written on the top of the MPx220? Is that an example network/operator customisable logo or something?

I'm guessing that it might signify it being quad-band?
but not sure...

Yuh, I believe so. The first rumours of the MPx220, ages ago, were that it was "a quad band 200, with a built in camera and bluetooth". I thought they'd given up on the quad band bit, but it looks like they haven't after all.

Mobile telephone history:
Sony CMD-J5 → Sony CMD-Z7 → Orange SPV → Orange SPV E100 → Orange SPV C500 → Orange SPV C600 → O2 Xda Graphite → Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 → Samsung Omnia 7

Is Quad-Band in the UK different than Quad-band in the US???
UK = 900, 1800
US = 800, 1900....but now also 850.

Does 850 fit into the quad at all?

That'd make sense and I guess the 'moulding' that "Quad" is written on may actually be the aerial(cover)

Quad band is GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (everywhere) :)

Sometimes Quad band is stated as GSM 800/900/1800/1900 but there is no GSM 800 (It's really GSM 850)


I think there is a TDMA 800/1900 and CDMA 800/1900 in the US though.

Makes sense...
...so US GSM is currently only 1900 except for Cingular which also uses 850 in some areas?

Yep

T-mobile is GSM 1900 and Cingular GSM 850 but I suspect GSM 900 must be getting rolled out too.

Does this mean you will be raiding your piggy bank encece  :wink:

I think the ' QUAD ' refers to the speaker, meaning it is a very expensive electrostatic speaker made by QUAD, who make very expensive HI FI speakers for the very well off. Motorola decided not to go the same route as HTC who fitted the silver foil cup from a MR Kipling Bakewell Tart to the E200 as a speaker. Either that it it transforms into a quad bike.

Interesting :)
So we should expect good sound quality from the MPx220 then? (and no buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :lol:)

very nice indeed...the outer screen looks interesting,  did u notice when the guy closed the flip while the phone was still on and it had so funny cartoon characters on it...im guessing you can change that..hoping we can have photo caller id on it too.

Are moto still doing a black version? i can decided which one id have, guess id have to see them in RL.  Thanks to the mysterious guy who made the video btw :)

I don't know yet. It is always tempting to get a new phone. And this one looks NICE. But the funds are low lately due to getting ripped off on ebay. Plus it really isn't all that much more of a phone to be something that I can't live without (for the time being, that is!) :)

Worked for me after a few attempt (in second window)

Looks good; must be faster and less buggy than SPVs, but can it be called a revolution??

Revoluton? No. In the words of Tony Hayres, Evolution not Revolution :) (One for all you Partridge fans!)
