Designwise,
it comes in a very smart clamshell package
- don't forget that Motorola pioneered the
small clamshell with the StarTac range a
few years back - and the MPx200 falls into
roughly the same size category - the same
size that the StarTac pioneered. With both
an internal and small external screen, easy
controls and stylish design it should be
a real head-turner.
On the minus side, you're either going
to love or hate the Windows Smartphone software.
Previous Smartphone models (and they've
been pretty sparse) have suffered from short
battery life because of the power needs
of the operating system. Microsoft have
steadily improved this, and the MPx200 boasts
a talktime of 3.5 to 5 hours, which is better
than earlier models.
Expandability is impressive too.. the
MPx200 takes SD memory cards and can store
up to a huge 1Gb of data with the right
expansion cards, which should be enough
for just about everything you could ever
need.
