This may come as a shock, but apparently Motorola is very angry at Taiwan's manufacturers of their Windows Mobile phones: Compal Communications (that was supposed to manufacture MPx100 but was dumped already before...

Motorola can laugh all they want but HTC have them beat.
The C500 is smaller, cheaper and better than anything Motorola have managed to produce so far.
Motorola can blame Chi Mei Communications and friends all they like, but they doesn't explain why their non-Windows phones have been plagued with problems too. Are the software issues with the V600, V3 and V80 down to Tawainese companies too? |

| I don't think that MPx will be cancelled and MPx220 support. They both will be supported and released. However I clearly see HTC as a winner... |

HTC is not really known here in Belgium.. I think most of their product is better known as QTek (Qtek 8020 for the C500)..
I don't really trust Motorola anymore.. but it's difficult to find something similar to the MPx (with wifi) at the same size (100x60x24 closed).. any suggestions ? |

BenQ P50 is a very good replacement for Motorola MPx |

| I am not sure those BenQ or Samsung i730 are sold in europe.. Are they GSM ? or any non-EU cell phones (I know there is 2 protocols, GSM and CDMA???) ? and they are quit big (i730).. BenQ P50 sound good.. release date mid-2005 ? |

I don't bother about the MPx anymore because it's specs are really obsolete.
HTC stands out from all those Taiwan companies. I once used the ETEN and it has a lot of problems. Yet Phone Ed devices from HTC are far from perfect. That's why I keep my PDA and phone separate. |
