Motorola MPx220 - user opinions and reviews

The MPX 220 is absolutley, positively the WORST phone I've ever owned. This phone was so expensive and promised so much. Since purchasing it, I've cancelled all of the internet access and other "bells and whistles" service because NONE OF IT WORKS. This phone shuts off for no apparent reason - as a matter of fact, it just shut off now while I was writing this message...sometimes it won't take a charge, the volume is crap, now I'm having problems writing text messages...some sort of predictive text feature decided to turn itself on and I cannot figure out how to turn it off. I HATE THIS PHONE. I paid a fortune for this phone that promised everything but the kitchen sink and now I use it as a plain old phone. I should have known better - anything that runs on MS Windows is expected to have problems...

Motorola what were you thinking? I've had this phone for a few months now and must say the camera is a joke, speakerphone is pathetic, it's not nearly loud enough other than in a quite room and already after a few months, I'm having the charging problem that everyone is complaining about. I must say the hardware build on this phone is just sad.
This phone should definitely have been recalled, if Motorola puts this garbage into the market, I will definitely buy another phone from them. I've had over 10 cell phones and all performed as expected, this most defintely does not !
By the way, I did update to the 3.46 most recent rom, and have tried other ROMs as well.

I am really dissapointed about the phone in general. I had big expectation on it. It freezes up constantly. My VGA 600 pixels phones takes much better pictures than this suppossed 1.2 megapixels.

Worst phone I ever owned - this thing should be recalled. Volume sucks, firmware update doesnt work, camera is a pathetic joke.
When I get another phone I'm going to smash this one into 1000 pieces because I hate it so (literally)

nate the phone does have predictive text. It has 7 modes to entire.
1. predictive.
2 predictive all CAPS.
3. predictive sentence case.
4. non predive.
5. non predictive sentence case.
6. non predictive all CAPS.
7. numbers only.
just hold down the * key to change mode and read the manual. you can download it from this site. it even remembers the last mode you were in. I wish I could set a default mode though.
This is the best phone Ive had so far. I have it for 2 weeks now and none of the problems that you guys are complaining about. My sound is excellent. unlimited applications and customization.
camera is crappy though and the LED flash goes off before the pic is snaped thats why the flash does not work. ringtones could be a bit louder. ring and vibrate at the same time does get my attention.
I have a nintendo emulator on it running some real vintage games.
I have the euro version black.
O and the voice dialing speach recog sofware is good. does not work over bluetooth but you can still use your headset after you voice dial via the handset.
Good phone.

The mpx220 has been nothing but problems from the first day of purchase. I bought two of them at the same time--big mistake. Both phones continuously lock-up and power themselves off. At times they ring but will not answer displaying a message "cannot answer call". Neither one had internet access and after repeated visits to the cingular store (which confirmed they were set to the proper proxy settings)it just started working. Maybe my area didn't have the service. The volume of the phones is so low you cannot hear a conversation. I have exchanged them twice for replacements and am now awaiting another warranty exchange replacement for both of them. I would not reccomend buying this phone. It cost too much and it appears to have factory defects in design and programing.
