Motoroola mpx220?

It is unfortunate tjat they did not incorporate the Motorola mpx220 in their expose. I am an 8th grader in Georgia and I am extremely phone fancy. Although the Motorola mpx220 does not have qwerty keypad, it should have still been in the shutterbugs category, for it is much better that most Nokias! 😲

I disagree.

Although Nokias are not the best camera phones, they're pretty good.

The MPx220 camera is definitely sub-par. It's a decent phone in many respects, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone concerned about camera quality.

🤣 It had to be an 8th grader. Listen kid, first read about the difference in CCD and CMOS sensors, then comment. The MPX220 was a rush job by Motorola & minisoft. Maybe you werent born yet when they recalled the first batch of 220s, the firmware was bad. It still has many problems. Have you seen any commercials for it? You've seen razor, but mpx220s?. Not until they perfect CMOS technology, that camera phones with those sensors will take good pictures. For now you are better off with VGA cameras than CMOS megas.

Who are you calling a kid? I know all about CCD and CMOS, and I'm well aware of MPx220 issues you mentioned. I also have an MPx220, and a RAZR, so I think I can comment on this.

My bad. But I thought I mentioned "it had to be an eight grader. . ." So unless you are a eight grader with moola to afford $600 worth of phones w/contract or over $1200 w/o contract, then I am sorry I offended you. Otherwise, I replied incorrectly, you knew that, dont take it personally. 😉

Funny thing is that the RAZR ACTUALLY costs (in reality) $530.00 without a contact and the MPX220 $379.00. These are the wholesale prices. Again, way to bust on the 8th grader without an education? Umm, no...when I was his/her age - I kept up with technology, too.

To my 8th grade buddy:

Just goes to show you the ignorance of older people.

I realize that you were responding to me, but I have a rebuttal to that concept about the prices you declared. Where are you getting those astronomical numbers. Here are some cell phone websites.

www.a1wireless.com
www.intelenetwireless.com
www.wirefly.com
www.letstalk.com
www.cellularchoices.net

All of these websites sell the RAZR and the mpx220 for half the price of what you thought. Sorry, if you spent to much money, but celluloco is not the greatest place to buy these models, or any models, for that matter.

It is funny how these websites are on the right side of the forum for ads, but you still rely on these other crazy sites to get your idea of cost.

He probably got those numbers from internal company communications and misread them. Those sound like the companies charges per unit to carry the device. In fact, the RAZR is just that price, $530 per unit for the carrier to purchase.

OK...Let's stop busting on the 8th grader here. We need to realize younger people often realize things older people don't.

On the topic of commercials, the only reason the RAZR is on tv is because it is the Cingular flagship phone that costs a lot. Have you EVER seen ANY OTHER MOTO PHONE ON TV??? The answer, if you watch any of the major networks, is NO.

Everyone knows that there is absolutely no point in relying fully on a cell phone for a digital camera. This is reality, face it! If you want a good camera phone, buy the SE s710a when it comes out for Cingular, otherwise, please NO COMPLAINTS!!!

Thanks for not bashing 8th graders or nationally accredited websites.

Whoahoho!! Nice of you to stand up for the little guy. I guess you are trying to teach me something. Please tell me your wholesale price source so I can get one there and resale it at non-low balling prices. I can name you one that does not have your extra low prices www.celluloco.com
You dont even have the prices right, Mpx is 399.99 w/o contract and V3 is $599.99 and these are locked phones. I am sure you know what that means, since you know it all. Oh by the way is "contRact" not "contact". I guess your education did not pass 8th grade either.

So give me your source since you have all the facts and I dont.

Let me ask you, does your cell phone have a camera?

PS- I have seen other cingular phones in commercials for cingular like t...

First off, I want to commend Chris for not bashing me, how magnanimous, and frankly, eltupac, I know all about CCD and CMOS sensors, so don't play. And in fact I probably know more about the Motorola mpx220 than you think.
Chris, I want to thank you for sticking up for me, but just because I am an eigth grader doesn't mean I should be miscontrued as a little naive kid who know what I am talking about. I didn't skip two grades to take lip from the likes of you. If I were to use my name on this forum, you would know who I am.
Frankly, all I was trying to do was make a comment about the Motorola mpx220, although is does not have a qwerty keypad, it should have been in the email or shutterbug category. OR maybe, they should ha...

Great! another lawyer, hope you do better than your future counterparts and dont turn into a money hungry, suing for spilled coffee bastards that we have now. Good luck in your future. I still know the MPX220 is a rushed product with less than adequate testing. Rebooting may not bother you, but most people find it annoying.

PS-Harsh words dont bother me, republicans do. 😈

Thanks, but I still am going to try the Moto mpx220 just for the heck of it. 🙂
