BlackBerry Bold 9900 review: Business reimaginedEye-hurting Motorola MING A1600 Gold Edition emerges
A gold edition of the Motorola A1600 touchscreen phone has just appeared on the Chinese website of the company. Designed in the spirit of the Motorola V8 Luxury edition the A1600 trades the snake for crocodile skin but this doesn't make it much less tacky.
This time Motorola somehow managed to...

This is totally dumb. It's the exact same thing as the Moto ming from 3 years ago. They really think we are stupid enough to buy the same look and technology from 3 yrs back? Grow up moto. Please. Painting it gold doesn't make it new.

Are you blind? Which brand doesn't have exact same thing from 3 years ago and more. Look the design of Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and LG also has exact same thing from 3 years ago and more than 3 years ago. Example: Sony Ericsson W350 is exact same thing since 1997. Grow up... All the brand to do same thing like painting with different colour and doesn't make it new. Use your brain.

My oldest Moto phone (P7689) dates back to 2001...after 7+ years the phone still works perfectly.

Motorola handsets look GREAT. Which is good, because they still look great when they stop working 2 days after you buy it...

Understand is hard for GSM Arena to keep track on what's going on around the world...especially in Asia.
This golden version of A1600 was released about 3~4 weeks ago already.
Actually a good number of Chinese, if not those from Middle East, really like gold color.

> In reply to b. @ 2008-11-19 22:36 from mMFw - click to readApparently a good number of people like the "looks" of a phone better than its functions.
Plus, a lot of Chinese people prefer touchscreen device for Chinese characters input.
If Moto ain't hi-tech, how about the almighty company which has taken 4 years to develop its first 3G touchscreen device? How about making "a phone for everyone" with something like the size of Ming?
Certain companies only know how to make phones in the size of bricks...so they have all the functions, so what? Not everybody needs bricks!

Yes, I made my subjective judgement based on the Moto phones I have used:
Symbian: A1000 & Z8 (the latter I still wish the company can take out the OS and make it a non-Smartphone!)
Windows Mobile: Q9h
Linux: E6 & A1600
For example, to create a music playlist, for Linux, all I've to do is to drag the folders from the memory card. What else can be easier than this?
Call me an idiot, I still have NOT figured out how to create the playlist on my Q9h and Z8, as I pretty much have given up doing anything with the latter.
Both Symbian phones I've used suffered from auto-shutdown / restart from time to time...never on my Linux phones.
