Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Word is coming in from our sources with regards to the MPx220... and the preliminary release date (that is of course subject to change, and may slip!) is JULY! Basic specs are also emerging... Size: 90 x 48 x 20 Weight: 110g Standby: 112 hours Talk Times: 4.5 hours Will this device finally deliver on promised standby? Only time will tell, but it is sure to be an awesome phone! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest someone Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Check it: Features: GPRS (Class 12) Wap 2.0 Bluetooth Integrated Camera Camera Zoom Flash / Camera Light Specs: Size :: 90 x 48 x 20 mm Weight :: 110g Standby :: 112hrs Talk :: 4.5 hrs I think you all know the Samsung E700. The demensions of that device are: 90 x 45 x 23 mm SO... The MPx220 is just a little bit longer but 3mm thinner than a Samsung E700. Not as big as I thought it would be :) I like the new front Motorola has given the MPx220, with the black squaere around the external display 8) I hope we will hear more about it in July...

Guest BillyR Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Orange told me they were testing now for release in July, I was considering an E200 upgrade, but will wait now! Anyone know if it will be available in the black as well? :) BillyR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest funkyphilio Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 OK, does anyone know exactly what is different between the MPX220 and the MPX100? I was planning on getting the MPX100 but if the two are the same I'll probably get the MPX220 (simply because my wife prefers clamshell. I really don't care either way as long as the specs are the same.) I've been hearing conflicting reports on the camera and other stuff. Please end my pain and let me know what's different between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Exodia Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I keep reading everywhere that the screen resolution has been reduced from 176x220 to 165x220. But those sites have also reported the phone dimensions to be sizes other then what paul has just quoted. I hope its still 176x220, i like the size of the screen and have become accustomed to it, anything smaller and i'd feel as though im being cheated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest morpheus2702 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 As much as I am lusting after this phone, is there any word on: a) Which OS - WM2003 or WM2003 SE? :) No Wi-Fi? c) Definitely using mini-SD cards? d) How much onboard memory? e) Processor speed? f) Java support?

Guest zeta101 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 this is a recent news item about the processor on the mpx220: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=109405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattscholey Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Contract ends in August. If this phone does have a 1.3mp camera, then this will definately be my upgrade. Wi-fi would be nice though. Why haven't Motorola announced this phone, if it's release on Orange is just over 1 month away? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [email protected] Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 AvWijk: What's your source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AvWijk Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Dear modaco guests, I am an administrator of NieuweMobiel.NL and I write reviews about phones, mostly MS powered smartphones :) At NieuweMobiel.NL you can compare any phone you like, including the full specifications of the Motorola Mpx220. I haven't the mpx220 in my hands but that wil change :lol: I have the SPV M1000 now but I like phone-shaped models more, altough this thingy is pretty neat with bluetooth, irda, good VGA camera and fullsize SD.. About it's screen, 65k TFT @ 176x220, same as the mpx200. It's a microsoft standard requirement to have Infrared, Memory Card System (in this case miniSD) and ofcourse the standard MS Smartphone resolution of 176*220. NieuweMobiel.NL is a better comparing site than GSMarena, they are often wrong about phone specifications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AvWijk Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 AvWijk: What's your source? Read my next message :) I a guy who reviews handsets mostly from Microsoft, and I know some things about the mpx220. Like I said I haven't seen in in real-life but I know somebody who doés has seen it in real life, but I can't tell you much about this because I asked him all the way :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AvWijk Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 About the JAVA support, Windows Mobile 2003 / Smartphone 2003 has standard JAVA support built in, and the mpx220's CPU supports it 8x times speed. My Source? Read it somewhere on this forum they told about the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 AvWijk: Sorry if I came off as doubting You but I really want to believe that the MPx220 will have the new screen resolution. Although I have a hard time believing that it will actually ship without SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
