Delay of Motorola MPx220 at O2 explained
January 10, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.
O2 is one of the best (if not the best) operators - both in UK and in Germany. One of very nice and useful features that O2 offers are zone tariffs. For example with home zone tariff, user pays for phone calls the same as he/her would pay for calling from a fixed line! Therefore proper indicator of the fact that you are located in specific zone is extremely important. Apparently ensuring that this indicator of zone appears properly on the home screen of the Motorola MPx220 was the reason why release of Motorola MPx220 has been delayed:
As the MPx220 project manager told me, o2 (both - Germany and UK) wanted to make sure that Motorola has fixed the major bugs we saw before with the early Cingular launch (too silent speaker and microphone, etc) but it wasn't possible to major improve the camera quality. Also o2 Germany had to test the Genion indication functionality extensively to make sure this is working proper. Therefore o2 ran into a small delay but preferred to launch a device delayed but with all the known bugs fixed then releasing it too early with some major bugs (voice quality) and I have to agree with him.
