Motorola MPx220
MPx220 out or in?
Don't order from Wirefly a less than 15% customer satisfaction rating just doesn't cut it.
i think i am going to get it. the only thing i am torn between is this or the nokia 6682, which has a better camera, seems a bit more powerful, but is a stick phone.
i think i am done with sticks, and i am not sure i need all that power, i don't want a full on pda. plus i already have a great digital camera.
but i do love nokia phones.
anyway the mpx220 didn't previously support EDGE but from what i have seen it gets pretty decent transfer rates using its GPRS.
the new updates mostly make the phone more stable, increase volume etc. i think the issue was that there were a lot of issues that required firmware fixes, cingular isn't really comfortable having customers self-upgrade, so they took it off their market list until motorola sorted it out.
6682 is a very nice phone though. really torn between these two right now. kinda leaning towards the 6682, even though i kind of want a flip phone this time, since nokia has such great quality and i love their interfaces.
not sure if i want a flip (like everyone else i know has) that has a monster under the hood or if i want to stay with sticks like i have always had.
they both have their pros/cons
we also have the sony ericsson s710a to choose from too with its funky swivel design.
think it's gonna be between the mpx220 and the 6682 for me though.
The MPX220 looks much better than I thought it would. I'll do a review after I get a chance to use it.
cheers
I'm at work now and I left the phone home to charge up. I plan to use it this evening after which I can make better comments. The one thing I came to realize out of all this is that I am probably happier with the clamshell form factor phone because it is what I am accustomed to. I'd rather spend the extra money and be done with it at this point. BTW, Check out the Amazon.com link on the SHOP tab of this forum. I believe they offer a $150 rebate if the phone is in stock.

Its the best phone I have ever had. The features are amazing. It locks up every once in awhile (Windows OP SYS go figure) But not an issue.
The pictures are amazing for a phone and includes aperture and zoom adjustment before the shot.
The ONLY complaint I have is that you cannot MAKE a call from the BT headset like my Sony T637. That is a major flaw I hope is fixed with the newer release.
Hopefully I will be able to buy one of those in a year or so for $180 used!
