Motorola MPx220

i bought mine yesterday at the reno best buy. $500 no contract, $349.99+50 mail in for 1yr, and $349.99+100 mail-in for 2yr. the phone is sweet. service is awesome, people ive talked to on it say voice sounds better than my v600, and the software is incredible. but no cingular extras at this point... :-(

yeah this is the correct pricing. plus if u get the bluetooth headset hs810 at the same time you get a 30 mail in rebate too. I've had the phone for one day only, today because it was the store's and i couldn't believe the high quality of this phone. WOW is all i can say.

i have to agree. WOW...so fully featured and they fixed every prerelease problem i had heard of. sweet... all i can say is buy it!!!

My best buy doesnt have it yet, and doesnt know when they will. Wasnt in the ads either yesterday. I guess its most of the stores in the west that have them.

the best buy here in michigan says they will have it in a week..

WHATSUP WITH ALL OF THESE SKINNER NAME HERE IN THIS FORUM!?! 😲

Any chance you'd be willing to post some pictures taken with the camera? I'm really interested to see if they fixed the problems with the "green halo" that reviews were mentioning.

oh, they fixed it. in darker conditions, the pics are a little fuzzy, but u can compensate with the flash and the brightness adjustment.

sorry, but i don't know how to post pics,a nd i don't have a website... but if someone can tell me how, i'll post the ones i took specifically for this response.

Well I went to the cingular stores here in town (Northern California)when I saw it in the ad in Sundays paper and they had heard nothing about this. I went to Best Buy and they did have the phone via Cingular. If you would take the time to do a simple Google on the subject you would find that your previous posting was pretty ignorant.

ignorant no.. in my many conversations i was failed to get one piece of small but important info.. there is 4 regions and each region will get the phone at seperate times.. i didnt have that info.. best buy will have it for the first month exlusivly then cingular will have it after..i dont think most of us here on this post new it was region based if u did u would have stated that lol..

The definition of ignorant is - Unaware or uninformed. THAT WOULD BE YOU> All I am saying is that if you did an ounce of research before you flamed everyone who did know anything you wouldn't have been that. So you can be a simpleton and lol all you want but please dont abuse the information others offer here freely when you havent got a clue because you didn't do your homework. If you didn't have a piece of information it's because you didn't do your due diligence before flaming everyone. Get a clue cause your name should be thin skinned instead of white skinned

thankz for your inputs.. and if i must say my name is white for a good quality no iner mixing the races reason..i like that better

When did this become a race issue??? We are talking about a phone here, not the color of one's skin--please save your biggotry for some other place

Cingular is a big company. It's very common for the field offices or "grunts" or phone support people to not know about the latest marketing deal that another part of the company has cooked up. It's amazing on the rare occasion when a large company rolls out a new product or deal and everybody in the company *does* know about it.

The MPx220's at Best Buy are preconfigured for Cingular right in the box. They're not locked to Cingular, but I've had to do a lot of spelunking through the settings to change Cingular bits like voicemail number to my service provider, TMobile. There's landmines all over in there. ;>

Here Is Your Proof 🙂

howards forum is down or atleast on my end it has been down sence last nite..

Been up and down. Last time I got through it seemed to be a couple of days old, like an older backup. Oh boy.... 😕

Great info! Thanks!

Setting the IP address to blank was the part that killed me. I borrowed some config info from a Nokia, which set the IP address. Whodathunk a blank IP address was required for TMobile?

Great info on the mms messaging too. Thanks!
