2007??!!!

Thats 3 years!  :shock:

[awarner]

with the 128MB memory that swings it more for the M2000
that's more memory than my Ipaq (m1000 also has similar specs
memory wise)

[blewer]

Very impressive specs, just too big for a phone.

[Y-Wing]

Whats next, the HTC Red Arrow?

Posted from my SmartPhone!

Agreed.  A Pocket PC Phone Edition (MPX or M2000 - whichever) is the perfect phone for everyone, except for one factor - size.

I'm starting to think differently about the size now.
C500 sounds disappointing. XDA's not that big...
Perhaps get a PPC device and a cheapo camera phone for going out...

[londonlad]

thats how im thinkin right now too, use my e200 as my standard phone, should be apt/compatible for a while yet.  Get a M2000 for videos, wifi, msn, in the house and on the go at times. or maybe a laptop depending on the price.

mpx is on 200mhz and like jakob said it'll prob end up being 2007  :wink:

[memoreks]

any ideas on price or a rough release date?

will it be here by the end of the year?

Where did you get that info from and is it accurate?

I've been hanging out for the MPx for ages, if it's gonna be 2007 :evil:  I'll have to give the M2000 a close look.

[Jakob]

Sorry Guys..

2007 is just a wild guess... We saw mpx first time in feb 2004, played with it at MoDaCo Gathering in Microsoft House, and untill now - all we know is release in the beginning of 2005.. So my guess was just a sign of desparation - we need the companys to provide more precise launchdates..

Good night

Looks nice. Although too simlar specs to the M1000 for me to consider. Im gonna wait for the MDA4 said to be 3G?

[Dade]

Gimme, gimme, gimme!

[B@man]

Someone must know why the M2000 is or will be a better buy rather than the latest PDA & a C500?

And..... shouldn't this topic be in the MoDaCo Phone Edition Forum?

[PaulOBrien]

You're comparing a one unit solution (M2000) to a two unit solution (PDA and C500). If you REALLY need a PDA, then the M2000 is gonna be the one to have I think...

Although it is Phone Edition news, I don't have a News area there yet, and is this is an EXCLUSIVE, I thought i'd post it here. Most Smartphone users are probably interested in it anyway ;-)

[B@man]

Paul,

I agree that one is better than two but i'm definately interested in comparisons between this and the MPx (300) before serious considerations on parting with cash.

The M2000 won't easily fit into a pocket for a night out. Although for business it's a "nice to have".
