MPX220 Alternative

[Guest KaZoN]

I've lived with my MPX220 for 5 months now and I just dont like the phone, there is sooo much wrong with it.

My question is simple

What is a suitable alternative?

Cheers

Where are you located and what features are you after?

[Guest KaZoN]

Im in the UK and im after the same basic features as the MPX220

At the moment you have the C500 (getting old now) or the C550 but if you wait a while longer the C600 will be released.

That's on Orange but you have similar on other networks.

Overall the above phones are technically better than the MPX220.

[Guest KaZoN]

Thanks for the info Ill check out the C600

:o

I'd wait for the i-mate SP5 with wi-fi..

[Guest KaZoN]

Ohh

I like the sound of a wi-fi phone.

This could be a real smartphone at last.

Unfortunately you might have a wait for either (the C600 or the SP5)

Hope they don't screw it again with joystick construction but let's stay on topic and hope for the best :roll: :roll:

I'm surprised there aren't more people like me who still think the direction pad/select button on the Canary was a good solution. Remember folks, it was 8way!

Did the SPV E100 had joystick probs? I know the E200 and SP3i did.

@Kazon, unfortunately there aren't many peeps who disagree with your sentiment towards the MPX220. I'd personally say that if u can live with a larger form factor (and the MPX220 wasn't particularly small to begin with) and a more PDA approach then why not check out one of the smaller Pocket PC Phones? Either the new HTC Wizard when it's released over here or if you're in a hurry and want it cheap you could check out the T-Mobile MDA Compact. I'd recommend the Orange SPV M500 but it seems difficult to find at the moment....

I was talking about the SP3i joystick that was problematic (have one). The direction pad of the C500 is good, it takes a little time to get used to it but I prefer the one on mpx220 - it's just a matter of taste isn't it?
