Hardware Review : Motorola MPx220 November 18, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Currently in USA there are 3 Microsoft Smartphone models available from major operators: Audiovox STM 5600 from AT&T Wireless, Motorola MPx220 from Cingular and Samsung i600 from Verizon and Sprint PCS. While i600 is an outdated model and not a serious contender, for end users the top choice is either STM 5600 (candy bar design) or MPx220 (clam shell design). Since there are still many fans of clam shell design and many fans of Motorola (it's a very American corporation after all), the MPx220, despite numerous problems mentioned by early users, still is interesting, particularly because Motorola is slowly resolving these issues... 
(on picture above, from the left to the right: HTC Typhoon [sold under such brands as Orange SPV C500 and Audiovox STM 5600] and Motorola MPx220) Motorola's MPx220 stands out of the Smartphone crowd because of its superb styling and clam shell design. Clam shell lovers would instantly adopt this model. Others should look at the differences between the MPx220 and candy-bar Smartphones. Quad-band, fast dual core processor, keypad/joypad and the externally accessible miniSD slot are the main advantages. As the second generation Smartphone, Motorola has got the specifications right. The Smartphone has all the ingredients to make it a successful model in the market. The only thing stopping it is a couple of fixes, which Motorola can release in the form of a firmware update.
