Guest haso0on Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 but as they said...it's going to be released in 2005...then mayb thy'll HAVE to upgrade it to SE
Guest RussellH Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Have just spoken to both Orange Upgrades and to my local Orange store. They have both confirmed that Orange will not be stocking the MPx100 at all. It's not even on their list of phones in testing for later in the year. Please let this be wrong!
Guest haso0on Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 send an email to motorola's support team and they'll tell you the release date...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 I've heard nothing about the MPx100 or MPx on Orange yet.... P
Guest RussellH Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 Just spoken to Motorola. Asked them about release date and availability of MPx and Mpx100 on Orange. They confirmed that the SIM free version was unlikely to be released before November / December 2004. Doesn't sound like it'll be available on Orange for the foreseeable future, though this may change as we get closer to the release date.
Guest someone Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 According to our reliable sources Motorola made the decision to cancel the release of its new smartphone MPx 100. Most likely there would appear instead a handset with similar features. Besides it is expected that there would be offered new software for the MPx200 under Windows Mobile 2003 at $30 the other week. We’d try to inform you about it later online. Source: Mobile-Review Well, that's a pity :cry:
Guest Pagemakers Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Gutted - Absolutely bloody gutted :D x 100
Guest darren22 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 At least my wish list is starting to get smaller, MPX220, C500 and more recently the M1000 @ £99.......
Guest morpheus2702 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 So is the news about the MPx100's demise accepted as gospel? I haven't heard anything anywhere else?
Guest Brody Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Not yet, not until we receive official word from Motorola that is...
Guest midnight Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 even if it is true, i would still expect a similar candybar phone to be released by them in the not too distant future, maybe smaller? :D
Guest Colonel Trouble Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 what about that sagem one (I think it was sagem)
Guest kyrkesmith Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 It's still on the cards. It sounds nice, apart from the fact it lacks bluetooth.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Moto would be silly to release a candy bar imho. They have the 220, which desite it's dubious looks will still rock, and imho its no competition to the c500 due to size...
Guest Brody Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 The MPx220 camera is quite poor! :? See here: http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=111261
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Oi Brody don't cross post! ;p
Guest Pondrew Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 :D Back on topic: I'm pretty gutted by the suggestion the MPX100 may be dead before it's had a chance. It was (at one point) down to be my next Smartphone, and although the C500 changed my mind over that I'm still annoyed. The more competition and choice we get, the better. This sucks (if it's true), I'm gonna go sulk! :D
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 ;p r1c4rd0: The 220 does, so theres no reason the 100 won't really, assuming it ever turns up...
Guest Pagemakers Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 The MPX100 is still on Moto's site...
Guest refnulf Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 This is such a bloody dilemma. MPx isn't going to be decent enough in its first release. MPx220 looks totally inferior to the C500 and the MPx100 is dead and we have no idea where it'll surface. Geez, what am I going to do? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? /me needs help.
Guest RussellH Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Totally agree Refnulf. I sent my E200 back months ago because of the bugs etc. Been waiting for an MPx100 or MPx. Even if and when they do get released, there's no guarantee that Orange will supply them. Really don't want any of the other Smartphone alternatives for various reasons. Motorola - if you're reading this forum, please please please can we have the MPx and MPx100 soon? Message to Orange - Please please please can we have them on your network? Thanks!
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 To be honest, i think there is no reason for the 220 to not be a fantastic phone (i just don't like its looks ;p), and after the success of the 200 why wouldn't Orange release it on their network? Ok, so Orange are a little unpredictable at times so i may have to eat my words (again) but still, it's been good it the past, surely this is just the natural progression...
