Guest Sogarth Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 As I suppose the recent Motorola-related news has been heading towards, it looks like Motorola has cancelled the MPx launch. :shock: From PhoneScoop: A Motorola spokesperson today confirmed that the company has canceled production of the MPx Windows Mobile Pocket PC device, confirming a report last week by DigiTimes. Motorola has dropped plans for commercial launch of the device beyond Malaysia and several smaller Asian countries where the phone saw limited release. The company will continue to use the MPx for limited carrier and market trials to learn more about the mobile enterprise market. Motorola emphasized that it is still committed to the mobile professional market and Windows Mobile, and will introduce a new line of devices for mobile professionals later this year. The company denied reports that the MPx220 has been discontinued. I'm not sure how this will affect all of those users who currently have the Motorola MPx; it wouldn't surprise me if the price on those will be dropping pretty soon, though. So, if you're looking for the phone even if it's going to be discontinued, you might be able to get one at a bargain soon. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 on one hand it's a pitty... would have liked to see it in action, but on the otherhand... reviews haven't really been flattering. it would have been a great phone when the word was spreading about it, but it took too long to release it and now it's under the measure... it's out everythinged by other manufacturers. hope they release a similar phone but with better specs soon...

Guest jfran Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Might be off topic, however o2 are not going ahead with the launch of the MPX220, too many hardware problems... rgds Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I wouldn't call 32meg memory a 'touch' low. Maybe 'insanely' low. And please tell me it isn't true the MPX is running at less then 200mhz?! Movies on Beta Player will be abysmal (sp?). As far as I'm concerned Motorola came to their senses and having finally started listening to the feedback they were getting on the MPX... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
