Guest stevem999 Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Been looking at the MPX and MPX220 - they both look reasonably imminent but the MPX is going to have Pocket PC, whereas I think the 220 will run on Smartphone Windows - anyone got any misgivings/stories to tell/ opinions on either of these OS's? Both phones look good but it might come down to the OS. Pocket Pc has been around for longer I think so could be less buggy perhaps? Any thoughts?
Guest Sasuke Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 huh? what you chatting about dude? as far as i know it is the same o/s probably a different way of saying the same thing.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Nope the MPX runs Windows mobile SE pocket pc edition where as the mpx220 runs the 2003 smartphone edition. The MPX is a nice beast and is on my wish list, the only downside is the rumoured 200Mhz processor where as the xda2 has a 400Mhz. Saying that though size for size I know which one I'd buy :D
Guest Disco Stu Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 No, they're definitely different. 1. Pocket PC supports stylus 2. Software suppliers always offer 2 separate versions and loading a Pocket PC one onto your Smartphone will crash it
Guest stevem999 Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 So apart from stylus support, is there anything else to tell them apart?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 They run different software so if like me you want excel and word the the MPX is for you. The MPX being ppc based has a far wider range of software available for it at the moment.
Guest Sasuke Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 oh "that mpx" :oops: sorry, my mistake. i was assuming he meant mpx100 and mpx220 comparison
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Easy mistake and I can see a lot of people getting confused as there are a lot of us who are used to just talking about the mpx200 as the mpx. I think moto should have kept the name MPX300 for the MPX would make it easier for us :D
Guest phonesmarts Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 i agree, awarner. the mpx only has a 200mhz proc? why is that? shouldn't the basis of PPCs be at least 400? but it seems that the mpx has won my heart, with the dual-hinged design and all. the only problem i see in the mpx220 is the mini-SD.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Remember the MPX is smaller than a standard PPC so to help battery sizelife etc could be a reason behind the use a slower processor.
