Whats the latest on the Motorola handsets?

[Guest cyrilthefish]

sorry for slightly pointless post, but the modaco search facility is completely broken ("Could not delete old search id sessions")

anyway, the new Motorola handsets, what are the latest known possible release dates and approximate prices on contract?

i've pretty much made up my mind to wait for the new handsets, but not decided as to which yet:

1. MPx - The one i want more than anything, as long as the price is not ludicrously high i'll get this. A PDA squished into a phone-sized casing! :)

2. MPx220 - If the MPx turns out to be unaffordable i'll get this phone, the 200+mhz CPU makes this an allmost definate.

3. MPx100 - as long as the CPU is at least a 200mhz one, i'll still consider it.

I'd love one of the phone-edition PDAs, the MPx seems to be the best so far, as small as you can get while maintaining PDA program compatability.

Failing that, i'd like any MS phone providing it has at least a 200mhz CPU, i'm increasingly finding my SPV e100 to be crippled by the slow CPU (IE: general menu speed, game performance and in particular features being unavailble in pocketmusic due to lack of CPU power)

I believe that beginning of July on Orange is MPx220. That's the only one that they've posted semi-official information on on MoDaCo.

Neither the processing speed of the MPx220, or of the MPx100 have been announced, although the MPx220 processor type has been.

I agree, the MPx does look very nice, but I'm definately getting an MPx220, and then perhaps one day I'll replace my ageing iPaq with an MPx.
