Are you kidding me??!! I can't believe I waited patiently for this phone just to be completely dissappointed. The reception is absolutely the WORST I've ever experienced with a cell phone! I have a 3 year old Nokia that gets MUCH better reception than the MPx220. Side by side the Nokia has 5 bars to the Motorola's 1 or 2 (if I'm lucky). And I haven't had this many dropped calls since my analog phone 10 years ago. The camera blows with no redeeming quality and the phone is charging longer than it's in my hands. What gives? How could Motorola make such a huge mistake? I like the Smartphone capabilities (which is the ONLY reason I purchased the Motorola instead of another Nokia). If Nokia comes out with a Smartphone instead of supporting Symbian, I'm chucking the MPx220 and Nokia will have a customer for life. No joke. I hope somebody from Motorola reads these posts. I feel completely ripped-off as a consumer.

Here is the problem with the camera. CMOS camera sensor used in motorola phones is cheap to make and the advantage is that it does not require a lot of power to work, thus saving battery life. The disadvantage is that is too new of a technology and is not as advanced as CCD. Cheap + Low Tech = Crap Ass camera. CCD camera sensors like the ones used in the Sony Ericcson S710 produce awesome pictures, but look at the size of it compared to the MPX220. Motorola should redesigned the phone. The MS monopoly, dominant branch into mobile technology OS, alone, uses a lot of battery juice, hence the low battery life. Imagine if you add a CCD sensor to the mogul, want-to-dominate-everything, operating system, you probably have a talktime of 10 minutes. All in all, MS Mobile is a rush-job, incomplete system just like all the MS products. People will report the problems and then MS will fix them. Guess what You are doing their QA for free. So keep raving about it, make them millions while not getting anything in return.

MPX220, was recalled from Cingular/Best Buy because the speaker volume was not loud enough, new manufact. version firmware 0.342.0.0 (can be found at start-settings-about scroll down screen)seems to have helped. Still problems with bluetooth and activesync.

MPX220, if you have horizontal lines when taking a picture in 1280x960, try turning off the bluetooth

Obviously people that rave about this phone just got off the TDMA wagon and havent seen other phones and the quality they bring. I had an NEC 525 and the picture quality was just as bad as the MPx220. The v400 has better picture quality than the 220. I guess for you people, anything new is good enough even with all their flaws. I guess that's why Japan has the best technology, because people like you dont live there.

A great deal for $400. I got one of the newer black models (not one of the test versions). It's convenient, intuitive and complete. I really can't think of anything this phone doesn't have. I've had it for about a month and no outstanding complaints. ActiveSync is a Godsend and I've already installed a few Windows Mobile based applications as well as transferred plenty of media. Though the flash is useless (as with any other camera phone thus far), the camera otherwise works fine, -- with some adjusting. No problems with call volume here. The speaker quality is excellent, phone has the ability to play audio/video files in Stereo. Size of the phone is perfect. I only question Motorola's decision to put the mic underneath the phone rather than on the face under the keypad. If you're using MP3s as ringtones, make sure they're loud enough.

No lo compres es una mierda. I read that this phone will be recalled again for a problem just like the v600. The camera does not work well when bluetooth is on. Motorola is blaming minimicrosoft for the flaws. I think is great, hopefully they will drop the ms mobile. Break down the monopoly, destroy the greed that is MS. Think of them as the Umbrella coorporation from the resident evil movies. They want to be in everything.

*Sigh* The mpx 220. I bought it for $440 on ebay a couple weeks ago. Wretched camera quality. Abysmal battery life. Call volume? less than half a decibel. I mean it is so quiet you HAVE to be in a silent room to barely hear any normal conversation. I got a bluetooth headset, the HS810, to combat this but 1)the automatic press-a-button-and-say-your-contact's-name-and-automatically-be-connected feature doesnt even work with my phone and 2)i shouldnt have to carry the bluetooth around with me everywhere i go and use it for every.......single.......call. Screen resolution is superb and connectivity with pc is great but can't make up for the horrible sound(or lack thereof) and unnacceptable battery life--I charge it more than I talk on it!!!! Thats why my Razr is in the mail :) Happy ending.

here in brazil this phones works perfectly, its complete the problem the most people find with this phone is the fact of their cellphone company do not be prepared to the tecnology this phone needs to be perfect. here in brazil the only one cellphone company that this phone works perfect is the (tim) which has one of the best tecnologies of the world.
