Guest JampoTT Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 450 minutes talk time 200 hrs standby ?? Some poor typesetter has mistakenly added an extra "zero" in those figures :)
Guest darren22 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Wooah! :shock: I want one now :)
Guest zeta101 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 midnight, i see youve posted similar specs for the mpx, but what about the mpx220?
Guest midnight Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 there is no news from moto about the mpx220 note: THESE ARE OFFICIAL MOTOROLA SPECS
Guest mcwarre Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Should we start a poll as to how many photo's with flashes you can take before the battery dies? I bet 15!
Guest zeta101 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 if its a LED based flash (which it most likely is) then i dont think it will take up much power as you would expect :)
Guest midnight Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 yeh, as mentioned in the quote i posted..... triple “super bright LED” flash
Guest Gorskar Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 No Idea on the processor yet then?
Guest Pondrew Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 As if I wasn't excited enough before! Hope it's got 200mhz processor. Forgive me if this has been asked already but when can we expect this to be released?
Guest cyrilthefish Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/4545.html What are normal SD card transfer rates like? can we expect things will run better (like videos) from the new miniSD cards? Would be nice to know how low the power consumption is compared to SD... I was bored, so i ran a drive benchmark test on my SD card :D 256mb Sandisk SD in a USB 2.0 card reader = ~1.6MB/sec read, ~0.7MB/sec write. so that mini-SD shold be a hefty speed increase :)
Guest Pagemakers Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 In my opinion nothing comes close to this phone at the moment. Lets give it a chance. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest haso0on Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 caaant wait till the 2nd half of this year...by second half did they mean 2Q or ?
Guest midnight Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 no, i would have thought end june to end of december
Guest morpheus2702 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Is this Mini-SD, or another format of memory? SanDisk Reveals Tiny New Memory Cards for Phones Yesterday, 12:10 PM source: SanDisk SanDisk this week introduced T-Flash, a new type of memory card designed specifically for mobile phones. The new format is smaller than any previous format, at only 11mm x 15mm - less than half the size of a SIM card. Motorola has committed to supporting the format accross its product range, including the new A1000 and E1000 3G phones, and the upcoming V710 CDMA model. Initial capacities will range from 32MB to 128MB. An adapter will allow the cards to be used in SD card slots. Taken from Phonescoop.
Guest Pondrew Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Seems unlikely Motorola would start using Mini-SD's and commit to another form of storage at the same time. Guess T-Flash must be Mini-SD rebranded?
Guest morpheus2702 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 I'm just hoping that T-Mobile do a version branded T-T-Flash :wink:
Guest welshkid121 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 hehe will it take normal sd cards aswell? welshkid
Guest midnight Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 nope, normal sd slot can take normal sd + mini sd (with adapter that you get free with sandisk mini sd cards), but mini sd slot is much too small for a normal sd card :)
Guest welshkid121 Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 :D if i get one of these i will have to get another sd card :D still wanna get one though :) welshkid
Guest agent.m Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 cant believe it!! just won mpx100 just now on ebay :shock: not one bid for it apart from me 8) i`ll let you know what it can do when it comes (fingers crossed)
