Guest peekie Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 CoolSmartphone have posted what they claim are photos of the motorola MPx220 and MPx300. Hof off the presses are these very hush-hush shots of the Motorola MPx range, due to be released soon. These have been sent in anonymously and show more of the MPx220, plus the MPx - which we haven't seen much of at all ! You know where you saw it first folks.. There are apparently two versions of the MPx220, one black and one silver. On the Motorola websites there are of course no mention of the 2 phones and as yet no official pictures. For more details head over to http://www.CoolSmartphone.com
Guest crafty Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Surely the stylus with the MPX-300 means that it can't be an MS Smartphone?!? Loving the look of the 220 though, only 11 more months till upgrade time... :roll:
Guest bal Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 well they definitely look genuine - has anyone got any specs on it? :)
Guest zeta101 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 the third phone is definatly not an MS smartphone, it has a stylus and the screen dimensions look different. Nice to know there will be a black mpx220 though :)
Guest Norky Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 220 is still set for June/July, guess I'll go buy my 200 then :)
Guest Pondrew Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Well folks, I've been hoping Motorola would release a Smartphone that WASN'T a clamsell design and seems I'm gonna get my wish. Just checked www.coolsmartphone.com for more info on the 220 and 300 and was chuffed to discover a rather cool looking MPX100 which coolsmartphone is claiming the world exclusive for revealing. It looks similar to the recent Motorola 3 phone but should be a bit smaller with Windows Mobile 2003, camera AND Bluetooth! As much as I love my E200 I can't wait to check the 100 out. Hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg...
Guest midnight Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 mpx300 is pocket pc phone edition, kind alike the xda2, but this also has a full qwerty keyboard and in a flip type design also on coolsmatrphone, some specs for the mpx220...

Guest bugeyes Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Bring on the MPX300 Looks like my kinda phone!!!!!!! Hope its out for June!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest anselm Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Any one know which companies will be offering these phones? I'm with Orange on an original SPV and it would be nice to do some sort of upgrade deal with them for an MPX220 - apparently I'm due one in May and could get a free e200 but it might be worth waiting now :wink:
Guest kyrkesmith Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 It's good to see that they seem to have got rid of the crappy jog dial of the MPx200. Saying that, it's the implementation that's rubbish, not the concept. I really loved the jog dial of my Sonys in the past.
Guest pradaboy Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Check here for more pix of the MPX300... maybe it'll support WM2004 ??? http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/vie...der=asc&start=0
Guest [email protected] Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Pradaboy: How do You figure?
Guest kyrkesmith Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 I reckon because it's screen resolution is going to be larger than 2003 allows for. However, I would assume that means it's Pocket PC Phone Edition.
Guest pradaboy Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Pradaboy: How do You figure? like kyrkesmith said the screen resolution will be bigger and also by having 2 ways to open the clamshell it should support landscape mode too.
Guest kyrkesmith Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 The latest pictures, here seem to indicate Pocket PC.
Guest mattscholey Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 • Integrated 1.3 mega pixel camera, 3x zoom, flash and timer • 64MB Flash ROM and removable mini-SD card slot supporting up to 1 GB mini-SD cards for extra storage • • J2ME™ downloading capabilities for adding on new games, musical ring tones and business applications • MulitMedia Messaging Service (MMS)! and Voice Messaging Sounds like the phone for me. So glad that the cameras 1.2mega pixels. I've been saving for this phone since December, and right now I'm so glad that I have been. Matt
Guest Pondrew Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 There's no question. It's definately a PPC phone edition. A Smartphone can't have a stylus or touchscreen (at least by Microsoft's definition).
Guest kyrkesmith Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 That MPx300 one shows what a cool device it is going to be (and it might just help MoDaCo Smartphone's "Sister site" take off too :)). I understand that MPx220 one is only an artists impression. If the outer screen really is like that, I don't know what to think. It's certainly cool, but maybe not so nice on the battery life.
Guest haso0on Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 when is the MPx300 gonna come out!!!!!??
Guest Pondrew Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Your guess is at least as good as mine!!!
Guest mattscholey Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 I remember hearing December, but that was when we all thought it would be an MS Smartphone, which it now looks like its not. This could mean that they'll release both the 220 and the 300 at the same time, as ones not directly better than the other. Matt
Guest pradaboy Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 :roll: like he said nobody knows yet, well maybe the guys at Moto... try asking them :!:
Guest mattscholey Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Maybe. Maybe earlier. Maybe later. Basically, no one has the faintest idea. Matt
