Let's hope they're wrong :?:

[Guest midnight]

they are wrong, and as usual they have the dimensions wrong,its actually Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and the screen res aswell, seems like another webiste just collecting information from various sources and getting some things wrong along the way :D

[Guest kurtfhouse]

It must be a mistake everywhere else has reported it as having a 1.2 mega pixel camera :?

If it does turn out to be a VGA thats one sale lost, that was the only real reason to get the moto over the c500 for me.

If it does turn out to be a VGA thats one sale lost, that was the only real reason to get the moto over the c500 for me.

Another sale lost here as well if its VGA. Thats the feature the MPx220 has over the C500 and might well sway my decision.

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Apart from the fact that the 220 is dog ugly even by the C500's standards? :D

[Guest kurtfhouse]

:D

Yeah neither of 'em are what you would call lookers are they

Its whats inside though that counts monolithix, remember :wink:

[Guest kl1wdr]

It definately HAS a MP-Cam:

Please consider that this is photo has been taken with a pre-production-MPx220.....:D

But with keeping in mind that this picture was not taken in daylight, the picture-quality is not that bad, is it?

[Guest kurtfhouse]

Thats pretty good for the conditions :lol:

Looking like I will be going for the 220 after all :D

kl1wdr, you thinking of starting an MPx200 shop or something? :D

[Guest Simon Desser]

This image shows that the MPx220 DOES have a megapixel camera :D

(I'm sorry, but I think that picture taken with an MPx220 is bloody awful :oops:

I know it's dark, but it's supposed to have a flash :!:

Any chance of some more pictures taken with flash, or in daylight :?:D

[Guest kurtfhouse]

If thats with the flash I agree that IS crap, I thought that was without the flash on :?:

Don't forget aswell that is a pre-production phone.

Over at coolsmartphone I read that Moto have made some big improvements with the camera over the last week aswell

[Guest Helix]

The camera in the MPx220 will be a huge advantage over the C500 with its poxy 0.3 megapixel camera, so cmon Motorola make it impressive. It may change my decision to go with a C500 if its decent.

[Guest Pondrew]

Sorry folks, if the reviews so far are anything to go by the C500 pic quality is excellent while the MPX220's ISN'T!
