Motorola MPx : The New Breed of PDA-phone
Price = US$ 912 / Euro 749
The Good = Flexible form (QWERTY-PDA and Flip phone), Windows Mobile System, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Infrared, USB, touch screen, supports SD and MMC, 1 Megapixel camera
The Bad = Complicated keypad notations, relatively heavy and bulky, no video recording, still expensive
Motorola had launched its newest PDA-phone the Motorola MPx. It is currently only available in UK and Hongkong through online shops. The specification is awesome. You can have lots of features in one device. In fact, this is a new breed of PDA-phone. Other maunfacturers only launch touch-screen pad-form PDAs (such as Palm or Pocket PC) with or without small hunt-and-peck Qwerty keyboard. Another device from Nokia, has full Qwerty keyboard but without touch screen. The MPx combines the good features. Touch screen, flexible (and automatic display-adjustment!) form, which you can switch between Qwerty mini-laptop and Flip pohne.
You can do all your business with the full set of Microsot Pocket Office bundled into the Windows Mobile system. It has touch full connectivity. Bluetooth for your file sharing with nearby devices. Wi-fi for your wireless connectivity, to support you whether in office, or when you're surfing leisurely in hot-spot enabled cafes. Even the infrared is here! Wonder why Motorola never put infrared in its previous devices. Well, it doesn't hurt to have that IR, anyway.
Having the itch to capture some precious moments with your significant other? The Motorola MPx's camera with 1 megapixel resolution will surely help you. Some photo clicks, and then you go home, and beam the pictures to your PC or laptop, set one of it as wallpaper. Nice.
But, this device is.. expensive. You can have other less-powerful but still awesome devices with fewer dollars. Consider the rival SonyEricsson P910i. Currently its price is around US$658 or Euro 501. It has everything Motorola MPx has (even better camera), except the full Qwerty and Wi-Fi.
Or how about the O2 XDA II with similar price? It's nice and sleek, has all the feature except <1 Megapixel camera, and also brings keyboard (though not very comfortable to use). Another device within that price range is the Nokia Communicator 9500. But with lack of touch screen and pointing device, the communicator is not a good alternative for heavy PDA-users.
The best Non-windows alternative so far is the versatile Treo 650. It's more convinient to use, cause you don't need to flip the phone to open the keyboard, and frankly, Palm is the most stable operating system for mobile devices right now. By the way, Treo is also cheaper, hovering around $650 also.
Conclusion:
Motorola MPx is a new breed PDA phone that combines touch screen, Qwerty keyboard, 1 Megapixel camera phone, memory extension slots, Windows Mobile and its office apps, and perfect connectivity through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and infrared. Sure, it's expensive, but frankly, it's the most powerful device for its price, right now. May be you'd better wait several months to let the price slip to more convinient level for your wallet. But if you can't wait to get the feeling of this new breed of Motorola, then don't hesitate, buy this sophisticated device.
