It just works and it has capabilities and features that some new phones are just offering. It looks good and, although it's now a fat little guy compared to newer phones, it handles well and for me feels right. It is the best phone I have ever owned!

  • I think this cell was launched at the time when cellular companies such as Nokia n Sony were not as advanced as Motorolas were.I still have A1200er cell n i just love it.Apart from battery the phone is good.Moto ming in many ways changed n shape a new Era in mobile histroy

  • The phone was reason I wanted to work for Motorola, I had it in all the colors, and as the introduced IDEN I was a bit discouraged with the bandwidth and over all performance on those apparatuses a era for Motorola that made them info-mus for horrible battery life.

  • will this phone work with at&t 3g

  • you got to flash the SDHC patch for A1200. Google A1200 SDHC patch and you'll find the patch file and instructions. (in this case, you'll have to format it into two partitions of 2GB, using FAT)

  • A good advisement. Change your phone, now there are a lot of phones with big internal memoryies, there are phones can support up to 32Gb of Memory card. One example is the Sony Ericsson Satio. That phone has an AWESOME camera too, and it is the first smartphone with such a camera. :)

  • i hav dis fone 4 over 2 yrs and seems 2 b working really good... i have no problem with dis fone wot so evr..

  • worst phone ever!!!! this phone will make you hate the motorola line of phones!!!!! plz do not buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 2 gigs

  • The A1200 is a SIM ready phone.

  • I have this phone since March 2006. The best part I like is the lunar year and the Chinese input. Lunar year is non-matchable in the market unless you have a smartphone. Ring volume is so loud in noisy resturants and shopping malls that you couldn't miss it. The radio and microSD allows me to listen while in gym, travel on bus or doctor's appointment. BlueTooth is readily available at the right time when Ontario passed it's hand's free devices law in Oct 2009. Mini USB travel charger makes one charger for my cell and TomTom GPS, less to carry when travelling. Recommended to anyone who need a backup, slightly out-dated, featured phone that is below US$200.

  • phone sucks hate it, if your a texter DO NOT GET THIS PHONE

  • I've had this phone for a month and it just stopped working. The battery wouldn't hold charge for more than 8 hours and that was on standby! A lovely phone, but mine just doesn't work. When it did it was a great phone - I especially liked the calendar and the voice dialling. This is my second Motorola and my last as both had the same issues - they both just stopped working.

  • This article will show you how to enable EDGE for free on your Motorola A1200 Ming. To do so, you will first need to download RadioComm and install it. You will also need the script Edge.tcs (download and extract it anywhere). What is EDGE? EDGE, short for Enhanced Data GSM Environment, is a faster version the GSM wireless service designed to deliver data at rates up to 3 times faster (at 384 Kbps) and enable the delivery of multimedia and other broadband applications to mobile devices. EDGE upon the GSM standard, using the same frame structure and existing cell arrangements. Enabling EDGE on Motorola A1200 In order to turn on Edge you need to follow the below instructions. Part 1. Getting RadioComm to recognize your Motorola A1200: Start RadioComm. It will display a settings window. Enter MA = GSM and Settings = M-Link USB driver You should now see the main RadioComm panel. It should have a red �Radio Detection� button on the top right and you should see a Red square down in the taskbar icons area. When these turn green this indicates that the progam has detected the phone (radio) correctly. Close RadioComm. Turn on your phone and go to Setup, USB mode and select Modem. Connect your A1200 to PC via a USB cable and start RadioComm again. Change the connection mode to USB if the software asks for it. When your phone is detected for the first time, a prompt may appear asking to install drivers. Select Yes and install the drivers. This will repeat around 20, there is nothing wrong. You might have to reboot the system after all drivers are installed and restart RadioComm. When it has detected the phone correctly, the Radio Detection button on the right turns green. . Part 2. Enable EDGE on your Motorola A1200 To the far right you will see several buttons, click the one labeled as Setup Button. A window will pop-up, press the Browse button and select the Edge.tcs file downloaded earlier. Label it something like Enable EDGE it�s only for your own reference, and click the button label SET. When done, close that window. You should now have a new button labeled the way you named it in the previous step. Click on the button to run the script. A series of log results should be displayed in the big white window. The last one should say Complete. Exit RadioComm, unplug the phone and restart it. Assuming EDGE is available from your provider and you have completed every step listed above, you should see an E instead of a G on the status bar. If you still see a G, it means that EDGE is not available. Motorola A1200 EDGE Key Green E: Connected and receiving data. Underlined E: Connected to an EDGE network. Regular E EDGE available. Red Circle: No radio detected. Blue Circle: Radio detected and in Motorola USB Modem mode. Green Circle: Radio detected and in USB Composite Device mode. Yellow Circle: Radio enumerated as a USB LAN device, the socket connection not yet successful. Pink Circle: Radio enumerated as a USB LAN device, socket connection successful.

  • Hi, I had Motorola A1200 Ming for about 6 months and I just sold it, now getting SE M600i. A1200 is really good,but there are couple of features that I found that sucked. The headset volume not so good, the speaker is sort of ok kind. The menu speed is pretty fast. The web browsing is sort of slow, the screen size is kinda small so it is hard to text with specially if you have a small touchscreen keypad. It is impossible to text while you are moving or in a bus, the dailing pad is not to bad. The fornt hearing speaker is really loud and can head clearly. The good side of the phone is the camera, smsing, watching movies (quailty is sort of bad), games, see through lense etc.

  • good question. I think its a microphone or smthng..hihih

  • i got a problem in my camera , when i started to capture any photo , it failed. please reply me .

  • hi i neeed help i cant receive any calls from anyone unless that person calls me in private..can any1 please help [email protected]

  • Ok everyone!!!! This phone is great! I love it! I will say this if your battery life is short then try charing your phone every night! I have this addiction to texting and the more you text the faster your battery life will disappear....if that doesn't work then you might want to take it back to your provider and talk to them about it! Cell phones aren't suppose to go three days on one battery life, stop being stupid! Charge your phone!!!!

  • Hi Bassi, that was my concern. I've read most of the comments and besides some touch screen issues, the battery seems to be a problem. And in fact, how long does it last in stand buy and when you are using a lot?

  • I love my A1200, but the battery life really sux's... I even replaced the BT50 battery with the bigger capicity BT60, which only helped a tad bit. I to constantly charger my motoming. If anyone has a clausble solution, let all of us know!! Thanks in advance.

  • Ok, let me help everyone here... I have this phone for like, 8 months now. Since it's a linux based phone you can do whatever you like with it... We at motorolafans.com have quite a number of firmwares for this phone. Whole bunch of applications and skins. Some of applications include standard phone keypad for easy sms typing, better alarm clock, swap etc. etc... You can really do anything you like with it. We even managed to add EDGE support and make it QuadBand. :) If you have any questions or need help with this phone, please contact me :D

  • I have been using this phone this the past 2 years and I really love it. Only the texting feature is real tough, both hands need to involved while typying one.

  • Hi, I have been using this phone since a while now.

Also on the purchases of a new phone i wish to transfer all these messages to that fone? is it possible???? Plaese revert..

  • hi there! were can i get a new firmware? coz i realy need it! try to send me an e-mail.. here is my e-mail address, [email protected]

  • super mobile its sosoos cute

  • the ming a1200 trumps a1600 in looks and design. the transparent flip cover plus generous use of rubbery material is fantastic. the chrome accents should had been brushed metal plates - that would make a1200 a real masterpiece asthetically. use rsd lite 4.1, flash it to R541_G_11.56.4R rom, install mpkg and voila! you can have tons of skins that change look of icons, background, scroll bars, battery/signal indicators. Fantastic! There are many many java games adapted for touchscreen play on the ming. check out motorolafans, motofunv, mmus.us and modmymoto. it is a real pda phone. input options are good; so is handwriting recognition. but heavy texting would be a real challenge due to small screen - the only big flaw of this compact gem of a phone. i got it for under SGD300 in sim lim square singapore. no regrets - latest addition in my collection of 10 phones and standing tall against it's older siblings! I also recently got motozine zn5 - another gem of a moto phone just 2 weeks before i got the ming. cheers

  • Ming is really SuperB

  • i can't get a signal when i use my at&t sim. how do i fix this problem?!

  • Awesome phone, I love this phone, I have been using it for past 2 years, still it is working working awesome

  • did u try a settings reset on the phone

  • dude do a software reflash from the moto website

  • I use this phone for the past 2 years. Initially, I was able to sync my contacts with my PC (MS Outlook - Windows XP). Now I am unable to copy the contacts to my PC. Whenever the phone is connected to the PC, and trying to copy contacts the permanent answer is "Unable to detect your phone". I tried with a few other computers, but in vain. Any solution pl?

  • the phone gets auto switched off ..is der any solution

  • phone is pretty good in every aspect but texting....if your a frequent texter then i dont recoomcend this phone for you and using the small touch keyboard on the phone is annoying to use

  • transfer ur phone contacts by placeing all ur contacts onto the memory slot then just transfer them over that way

  • I was initially sceptical and hesitant to get this phone because of the not-so-encouraging reviews. But I liked the design so much that I asked my brother to buy it for me from abroad. I fell in love with first use. The menu was straight forward. The battery life is almost the same as my husband's nokia E90 on standby mode. The speaker volume was good enough for me to listen to music as well. It wasn't as bad as I interpret from people's comments. The only thing that was a flaw is the earpiece that came with it. The clip was flimsy that after 2 times use, it broke. The 3rd time use, the earpiece was not useable. So I have to depend on the speaker phone. But so far so good that I even bought a 1GB memory card for it where I placed all the music and picture files. The model is not common in the Netherlands where I am from so it kinda attracts attention when you use it in public.

  • Hi first insert your SIM in phone & turn it on. then Press Second top button. next select "SIM Card" From drop down list in bottom of Window. after that press bottom left botton and then select "copy to SIM/Phone" From drop down list. now Select "SIM to Phone" & press "Ok". Goodlock

  • this is the best phone ever

  • got this phone a year ago, still in good shape n performance!!! Best cp ever had so far...

  • It�s been one week since I have this beautiful phone from Motorolla, and I absoluty love it! The design, features are awesome, everywhere I go I just want to pull out my A1200 and show it off, I would recommend this phone to anybody, however, you have to have common sense in order to use this phone, some people may not understand how to use it and its features, but then again after using it over and over you will get use to it, and soon learn to love it... get at me on MSN messenger at: [email protected] if you have any questions, maybe i can help

  • the phone is very good, I recomend this model, the aplications are good, I not have a bad comentary about this motorola phone.I have this phone once year ago and works normal.

  • yes, yes... i got one (version 'e', with exge support) for almost a year and a half... it's another 'great phone' from motorola. truth is that they build strong phones, designed not for geeks or gizmos-lovers (i'm one!) but for productivity... dislike: resistive touchscreen, missing 3g, wi-fi, gps... also more ram! like: you can do modding, expanding the native capabilities: overclock, swap file for memory, varios apps for multimedia file types not supported... PRICE!! specs says 1 gb sd capacity, i'm using 2 gb, and think it support 4... so... it's a good phone! not great, just good. and if some have one and are complaining... do not! you can either choose a phone that suits you better in the first place or change it!!

  • It,s battery charge is toooooo low,i recommit dont choose it.

  • bad phone;;;;;; ugly , fat , the colours not but beatiffull ....... bad bad bad

  • That option for caller ID doesn't work. I heard that it shows as a function, but doesn't stick

  • Hey, i had the same problem finding the caller ID. All you have to do is just click on the phone icon and on the left side at the botton not the X the other one with the lines and just click setup and you will see everything there. Hope i have helped you.

  • Its a good phone. works excellently. Awesome look and feel. but battery back up is extremely low. Not able to talk for one hour continuously.

  • Could anyone explain how to change the text messaging ringtone.? TX.

  • this the best phone i have ever used.i love it's look.it has a class...i just love it...

  • I got this phone as a gift and it is making me crazy. I love it, but I have yet to find the setting for getting my caller ID. Can anybody help me

  • I love this phone, had it since it first came out and omg, its amazing! the phone never started lagging, even after the first year of use, like most phones do. although i did not enjoy not being able to use the browser because i never got it set up with my service provier, my friend got this phone a little while after i did and i have used it on his and its good. i extreamly psyhed about the newer model thats just come out, im thinking about upgrading. I just wish that this phone had a little MORE built in memory and that when set to vibrate it did not play a sound whenever i got a SMS message. If this phone although had WiFi, it would be THE BEST out there! unfortunatly it doenst, and neither does the newer version...if anyone from motorola reads this, PLEASE think about a future model WITH WiFi!!!!! other wise, great job with the phone! its amazing!!!

  • Hey I have been the proud owner of this phone for over a year now and guess what, to me, my phone's value just doubled over the past week because of the added functions of this phone. First of all here's a comprehensive list as to why I love this phone: 1) STYLE= Transparent glass, glossy, an eye catcher. 2) Touchscreen= the phone is very convenient to use, quick touch access to things that would take a pretty long time on a non-touchscreen device. 3) Durability= using this for almost a year now and it runs like new. Now what I did over this week is that I got T-zones on this phone and I get Internet access on it! and at a reasonable speed. and second, I just bought a micro Sd chip and now I am able to transfer music from my computer to this Cell phone!

  • my uncle has had this phone for almost a year and im thinking of getting this phonewats ur opinion on it

  • the price should go down due to the performance of it ..........(sucksballs)

  • to change skins & for all the softwares u require, go to .......... it's the best site for the mighty ming.:-)

  • The best place to get the motoming is Ebay... I got mine for us$190, shipping included. I got this for about a month now and my battery is dead after charging.

  • this one is cool,

  • hi ya,i m using a1200 for last 2 years could u plz tell me how u got its skin changed?do i send it to motorolla franchise or what kindly lemme know

  • my dad gve me dis phone n its pretty cool!!

  • I had to carry this phone out of no choice and the screen got worse and worse as days passed! At first, when pressing the EXTREMELY small keyboard on the screen for texting, when i wanna press 'f','v' appears and stuff. So i needa get used to it. And soon, part of the screen couldn work, just simply couldn respond. And NOW, half of the screen spoiled, even pressing an 'OK' is a big prob for me. This phone sucks! Even if the screen is all right, i still hate how the keyboard is designed to be so small... typing a simple msg become very tedious for me. Camera is good for a 2megapixel, cus the screen is rather big too. However, the music player lags on a memory card and the audio quality is too soft. Game is limited(only one -.-). In short, this phone is 100% based on touch-screen, well mayb 99% since there are some other buttons on the side and for calling n switching on/off. Once the screen is spoiled, it is over.

  • How can I change the lenguaje on the MSN on my a1200?

  • lol i got this phone from my dad too i think its pretty decent in terms of a phone for a teenager. hard to text in class though since its touch screen and all.

  • Hiya I have this phone with a Vodafone SIM card in it and cannot connect to internet or send MMS messages. I have spoken to 4 different people at Vodafone and they cant help me with the settings, suggesting I download them from the website. I found this site but cant find where to find these settings? Can anyone help? email me [email protected] Thanks so much

  • simple answer... yes.

  • does this phone have an mp3 player?

  • I remember that in some of the firmwares versions a dDictionary (with pronounciation) is included - not sure whether it's Longman's though... So again it will depend on the FW - but what you need to keeep in mind it will be Java one - not native (coded and compiled for EZX Linux) and there are many of them on www.getjar.com and you can install it to Ming anyways. Hope this helps.

  • why can't i recieve pic messages. Why can't i use the motorola program with this phone.

  • Having problems unlocking my security on phone

  • It is said that this phone has Longman dictionary ( whit pronunciation ), Is that right ???

  • My motorola works great and has a defined touch screen and hand writing reckognises very well. My concern is the battery as it only gives 6hrs of usage and the battery meter still marks 100% shortly before running out of charge. I think that its a good phone that needs more stamina to keep it going. the battery needs to be much better for such a phone. reception is clear and its design is exellent to be kept unfelth in pockets. the voice reckognition needs definately a good restore as it hardly reckognises comands given.

  • I just bought this phone off someone and i'm with fido but on the screen it says rogers wireless! how would i be able to change that?!

  • I am having the same problem and I am very disappointed. I want to use my phone so badly but can't. I'm just glad that I kept my old one for a back up. Now I just have a pretty phone that I can't use

  • You need to get the GPRS profile for your company. Google a little and you'll find it easily.

It's synchronization with outlook 2007 is not possible (don't even try it i have wasted a lot of time after months of research and experiments i have come to the conclusion that it's actually impossible to sync it with Outlook 2007) Again with outlook 2003 it does synchronize but with problems. On the good side it has wonderful security, beutiful design, Some great functions, document viewer (NOT EDITOR)., Business card reader, PDA, etc. I am still looking for the perfect fone Amar

  • this phone is the bomb. i mean this phone is so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttt

  • It has been a year that I have this phone A1200i version, simply great, amazing totally love it :D

  • Iv'e had this fone for almost a week now and it never disappointed me one bit. The only problem though is dat the battery span is short bt we can work around dat. Can someone tell me how to see who's txting you by there name cuz i receive messages bt only the number. and the subject is showing....

  • i had this for a month no problems but now the screen is frozen and its not working

  • I've had this phone for about a yr and a half. I love it!! Best phone I've ever had. Cons: Hard to keep the clear flip from getting dirty. Overall: Perfect!

  • I have owened the black A1200 & loved it. I did not have any problems with it. The volume was a little too low and you are not able to turn it up. I then bought the A1200 red to replace my lost black A1200 and I have had nothing but problems with it. I had to return the phone because it would power off by itself very often & I had to re-set the time each time. I returned it & suppposely they send me a new one from the Manufacture & that phone freezes every time you put it on Video, won't go into "File manager", when you make calls sometimes the person on the other end could hear you & you could hardly hear them unless you set them on speaker & now the display is not clear. This is all with in 2 weeks of rec. this phone. I'm very dissapointed with this phone.

  • Hey folks, got this phone a few days & it's great.No problems at all.I love it.

  • *@ steve* Hi steve im from kenya sema vipi i know our country are neighbours but sometimes rude answers are unavoidable so here it is ==> if u use ur head which u probably did to get to this site page and post a review the it wouldnt be hard to find ebay.com, shopping.com etc

  • This phone has a lot of potential. The problem is that the transparent 'flip' cover gets scratched too easily. The second problem is that the earpiece volume is way too low, quite disappointing for Motorola. When is this MING 2 supposed to come out already? Hey Moto, what gives?

  • great phone

  • the screen has gone dark, I cannot see the screen to use the phone. It was accidentally turn down very low. How do I get the light back in the screen or to reset the phone?

  • Does anyone know if a sequel to the Motorola A1200 is on it's way? The Q's not a bad machine, but I think Motorola needs to come back with a good touch screen business based PDA, and with a better camera at that. It's a must. Thanks.

  • Maya- texting on the A1200 is fast and easy, if you're used to using the PDA stylus. You can quickly tap in the words, and the auto-dictionary will give you options as you spell out the words. Only issue with the dictionary is that it will almost always assume that you are trying to write the word with the longest spelling given the letters you've already input, so you it won't always be that helpful. Other than that, it's great! Plus, if you should be writing in Chinese, it gives you great pinyin (Chinese character romanization)guidance, so that you can't type in pinyin that doesn't exist (great if you're new to Chinese or if you are Chinese, but you're in a hurry), and for both English and Chinese, it gives you the option off writing in letters and characters, in addition to the use of the soft keyboard, if you like. By the way, after a year, you may start to have screen calibration issues, depending on how hard you write and how well you take care of your phone, which will make texting and scrolling through files slightly more difficult, but still doable. To sum it up, you should like texting with the A1200! Enjoy!

  • Marco, sorry, that last message addressed to Happy Heart was meant for you. My bad. Again, good luck. While I prefer the A1200, you'll like either phone. And by the way, both are phone's with meaningful names. The LG Shine is self explanatory, while the A1200 is also known as the Ming in China, which means Bright. Either way, you can't go wrong. :) Shine Bright, bro!

  • Happy - The choice between the A1200 and the Shine, is a choice between function and style. Simple. If you want a phone that does more (pda and regular phone functions, phone call recording, etc.) then the A1200 is the choice. It doesn't look bad either. If you're looking for something with all the basic functions, but smaller and more stylish, you'll be happy with the Shine. I can vouch for the choice, since I, more focused on function, purchased two A1200's, one for myself and girlfriend, but helped my friend to purchase the Shine, since he was more into style, appearances, and convenient size (not to say that the A1200 is to big... it's a good size for it's functions and the time of it's make, but it's about twice as thick as the Shine). Plus, the Shine is the perfect mirror for guys who are style conscious enough to want to carry a mirror, but too manly to actually keep a mirror on them. Both phones are a good choice. Depends on what you really want. Good luck.

  • First, I love the style the look but the sound need to be a little bit louder. Never had any problems like, if I drop my phone it still works, and 4 a phone like that, that`s kool. Yes u can make the sound louder by certains programs. If u turn down the backlight to 13 or 14% the battery life works great.

  • I installed a 2Gb micro SD memory card in this model phone yesterday. It worked perfectly, so if you want a transflash card you can be fairly sure that a 2Gb one will work, even though some websites list the maximum capacity as 1Gb. The phone was a Chinese model owned by a friend from China. I had no problems installing the card or using the phone. It seems a very well designed phone, easy to use and not prone to delays or crashes in the software. It drew very favourable comments on its great looks. If I was buying a GSM phone it would be on my shortlist.

  • I have a problem with my a1200, i loaded thre software onto my computer but somehow i cannot get the pictures form my phone transferred to my computer. how can you help

  • I have a question. The lid, when you open it, does it make the cellphone look very big?

  • Somebody pleeeeease help me. i have this phone and after every five minutes it buzzes and vibrates. i do not have a reminder pending nor is there any text/missed call but it sounds the same way as if there is one.

  • You should go to and select the a1200 forum for tutorials and software downloads for this phone. Very helpful and a great resource.

  • it's fantastic. I desided to buy one of this cell phone. specialy for processor intel 312mhz and linux. fast and tasty.

  • Linux, that means good phone ;D

  • i have one an its one of the best motorola,i have installed edge an changed the entire theme this phone is the best...........trini love

  • is this a good phone because i want to buy it or wich phone should i buy if the motorola a1200 is not a good phone please email me at [email protected] thanks in advance

  • I am using an A 1200 since January this year and quite agree with Uqvm in what s/he says. Though Word & Excel is not a neccesity the version available here does have Picsel which is supposed to be a document viewing and editing software. I have not tried this feature being not wanting to be too adventerous. I too have taken care of the phone and there isn't a scratch on it. The protective sticker paper is still on the screen and the flip too. I make use of all the other features well and the phone has become a part of my life.It has served me well during the past eight months and I hope to change phones later only if I am offered something better. But would like if it had 3G at least in keeping with the future. And something else I could not do nor unfortunately find in the manual is to programme the cell information. Can someone help me?

  • I like it so much because it shoot out from +6meter and my ming havn't any problem & mistake ! It have a very goooooooood sistem to lock SMSes ! I have a some question about inestaletion game and program ! Can you help me? I cant fined any game for my ming !? I wana inestal Windows Media Player on my ming ! Can I?

  • This is one of the best phones i have purchased. It is stable, user friendly and packed with features. Able to type up sms and emails extremely quickly with on-screen touch qwerty keyboard. Definetly recommended.

  • Motoming A 1200 is sexiest phone of the time.. Vedio quality is too good. Body is also built strong. 3 or 4 times, my pc's USB device has some problem and whenever we touch it we have to face electric shocks, so my handset was thrown many times, but still has no crack on it... this is the best one but the problem is that the volume level is not too good...

  • phone has to many problems and not compatible with alot of features that your phone service offers. Its been reject twice when trying to sell it in the states, its said that it wont be release here for another 6 months due to tryin to make the phone more compatible, Downloading,email,and other features really not user friendly on instuctions

  • i have a1200 and want install software but my os is linox and help me for give the software ????? from? where? tanq

  • The camera isnt that great either..

  • i have the same phone and i think it is just perfect!-

  • This is an excellent phone. The main purpose of cellphone is to have clear voice and manage your phone book with detailed information. The phone has excellent phone data book with address and numbers that can be stored on memory card ans used for calling ans SMS. Excellent camera and business card reader. The cell copies visiting card an places the data in your cell phone addres book. If you will first read the instruction manual properly and the start using the phone, you will never have ptoblems. I have been using the phone for making calls, listening to music, clicking photos, copying visiting cards, surfing the net, sending receiving e-mails, and syncronising the data with PC. I never had any problems. The handset is sleek and small and does not have weight to pull down your shirt pocket. It is the well designed cheapest PDA phone. It has handwriting recognition software. People who are not used to keyboard can also write alphebets and compose their SMS messages. There is world time, calender that allows you to input your schedule and reminded by alarm. The notepad is handy, you can type or write on notepad even when speaking via speaker phone. This is an electronic device with so many features that none can challange at the lowest price it is available. I am assuring, that this is the value for every penny spent. I am careful and take care of my things well...hence neither my cell phone has scratches nor any problems till now even after using it for 3 months. If you are looking for a device for playing games....search for other phones as Motorola Motoming is for serious PDA user who takes the benefit of all the features for important things in life. There is no need to upgrade as it has almost everything in it. The focus is on good voice quality, good loud music vis handset, soft music without hhandset, address book, calender, alarm, world time, document viewer, handwriting recognition, touch keyboard, joystick navigation, browser, e-mail, camera, voice recorder, in built help files (no need for instruction book, note pad, calculator. Does not have count down timer, word and excel file reader, edge, but these are not necessities.

  • Hi guys i have found a lot of free softwares for motoming and i was successful in installing the .jar files and they all are running however i dont know how to install .class files please if anybody know abt it please post a reply...and i'll let u know where u can find these softwares. there are around 30 softwares including msn messenger, volume up software for motoming, word excel and there are games like prince of persia 3 ,medal of honor,pirates of the caribbean,NFS most wanted.

  • Stylish phone.Looks good. Linux OS is a little difficult to use.At times sluggish. Features are ok. Requires patience n accuracy to type-in short messages.'OK' to buy if u're gonna use it for a shorter period of time. say abt 4-5 months or maybe upto 6 months at the max.

  • Ive had dis phone for a little over 6 months now and my touch screen is giving problem and does not respond sometimes...Does anyone else have that problem?

  • Hi guys! I bought this phone a month ago, and, at least here in Brazil, it�s working perfectly, sending and receiving everything (SMS/MMS/email/internet)! I have never had such a great phone! Ok, the battery could last a little longer, but I'm using it so much... I bought a 2 gb micro card, and now I can take my mp3s with me and record and film longer. No complaint at all about it!

  • i have a motorola phone (a1200) ican,t active the VR please help me thanks

  • I have not yet bought this phone the only thing stopping me is the lack of wifi. IS there any device I can purchase to connect to this phone to enable it to browse the net via wifi? if you have any info regarding it please email me. P.S I think the phone is Awesome.

  • do not buy this phone... unless you want a phone that self-destructs within a year. i bought this phone last summer, and as soon as the warranty expired, i was not able to receive calls, the phone started to shut off on its own and deleted my contacts once. the phone is a novelty item. from my experience, the a1200 may be one of the most feature-packed phone, but could u really consider this 'phone' a phone if it cannot do the simplest phone tasks?

  • hi guys Can anyone tell me that i am looking for the best music express touchscreen mobile phone that i can use it for so many purpose like listening music and talking with my frens for so long at affordable price along with options of micro SD card and video call of any model from nokia, motorola and samsung. -Danny

  • I am serously concidering buying the A1200, the only problem I have with this is that the Phone dose not have wifi. My service provider dose not have GPRS so..... I love the faact that it has a fm radio. plus its a touch screen. so thats realy a big thing for me.

  • Hi to ALL again, Anybody out there has tried installing 3rd party software on this kinda phone before? I'm looking for QuickOffice software where I can edit office documents. Pls email me....tq

  • Hey to all A1200 user: Cheers! I've been using this phone for 9 months, so far I didn't face any problem, but I always wonder if this phone has GPS & Wi-Fi, it will be a PERFECT phone. For those who said the song's volume very low, u can edit the song (mp3 or wav) in your PC by using software before putting back to the memory card, test it until u satisfy. Need any help, email me.

  • i love this phone but i am unable to connect my cell to pc can any one help

  • More about the Ming A1200 When setting up your internet connection, different settings work in different part of the US for Cingular/AT&T. They will assist you in setting up if you call their CS dept.--at least they did for me, but I spend $4,000 per year with them. I am sure there are many reputable suppliers out there, but the price and service were excellent at Exotic Cellular. I also had some problems with Phone Tools recognizing my phone--I just set up a new profile and it worked. I have dropped my phone 3 times already and the clear cover is still in perfect condition. When setting up email accounts with very long email addresses: One of my email addresses was too long to work--maximum of 30 characters. The review on this sight has some misinformation: Stores last 50 (not 30) calls received, 50 calls made, and 50 calls missed. You can install a 2 GB Micro SD with no problem. The business card reader is quite good. Wish OpenOffice were available for this phone--anyone know if it is?

  • I am going to answer several questions for you folks. The internet price for this phone is $250 US. Make sure your supplier is shipping a new phone with the CD. You must update Motorola Phone Tools to the current version if you have an older version. There have been issues with this phone's operating system. Motorola Hong Kong has the system update. Here is the link: The battery life is great on standby and talking, but lasts only about a day if you use the internet and email a lot. You will want to buy several BT50 batteries for when you travel, and buy a Motorola BC700 standalone battery charger that charges batteries while they are not in your phone. If you want the English to Chinese talking dictionary (it also translates), you will need to download the data files from the internet and put them on the Micro SD card. Buy a 1MB Micro SD--you will be glad you did. The A1200 works great. Great pics, vids, audio recording,records phone calls (beeps to let users know they are being recorded), view pdf files, etc. I LOVE MY MING!

  • So sloooow....

  • this is the worst phone i have ever had in my life. i've been through 3 samsungs and only god knows why i chose to get this phone instead of the d900 two months ago. presently, the phone does not turn on at all, after exhausting nights of wondering if the phone will charge tonight. phone constantly turns off. battery is unstable. scratches easily. the phone looks years old in a matter of weeks, also without a memory card, there is very little memory, sound quality is extremely poor. i strongly recommend that no person get this phone... it has been the worst phone i have ever had in my life... the touch screen is cool, but it's no compensation for the worries it'll give you.

  • its a wonderful phone but the cd that came with the phone is not reading the phone what do i do help asap

  • motorokr e6 is 100 times best than this phone

  • Hi Friends, I purchased this phone about a month ago. Speakers are pathetic, low sound when song is played. Ringtone is very low. I have used many handsets, but this one is pathetic. The fiber cover got scratches after 1month of purchase. The fibre cover is not scratch proof/resistant. Resale value is 40% of the original market value. My suggestion, don't waste money on this phone. If you want to know more write to me at [email protected]

  • I have had my phone since nov 06...Is it that having not used the voice recognition for a while, its like disabled or something??? I have not been able to load my voice recognition for months...is there a way to reset???

  • just got this phone a week ago. by far the best phone i have ever owned!

  • The problems wtih this phone 1. Pathetic synchroization with outlook, please write to me if you have been able to do it 2. Low volume of sound 3. Loose back cover, comes off in the pocket 4. Poor battery life 5. Does not accept business card messages (I am not talking of its BCR) 6. Keeps on emiting a beep or an obnoxious sound every now and then (and it is not a reminder or alarm)

  • Dear Friends this is a bout a week that i've bout this phone - i use id in GSM network - i've read about this smart phone in many forumes and 80% of owners getting messy about their shop but i did , yeeeeeees, i did , you know this phone is great , no hang no stupid operation it done , guite easy to work and you getting familiar with it's menu if you work for 4-5 hours , the most intresting thing i've found in it is it's security - you can find neighbour cellphone via bluetooth with their MAC ( Media Access Code ) of their phones and no one an see you unless you let them and pair them . you can save your SMS in expanded MEM which you add and there is no limition for sms - use it as modem which means you can send sms via it's software when you contect it to your PC - this is the first MOTOROLLA i've bout becouse i used sonyericsson for more than 6 years but i was wrong , buy it & enjoy it

  • I am impressed with this phone.However I am abit concerned about it's OS. I am a Microsoft user and from time to time I will be syncronizing my PC with my phone. Is this a big Problem?

  • it a real smartphone with a good cpu speed its better than p990. camera is not important for me but it play great sound in handsfree it can open pdf files with very good speed .it is slim, beautiful and with user friendly menu it is a good choice nazanin

  • Hi People I have been a O2 user till recently it died on me (Yes it is true!!!) Theauthorised service centre in india is Accel and they spoiled the phone to a extent that the phone does not even take the OS any longer. Sigh!!!!! Anyway am now in the market for a PDA phone (any but the O2). I liked the Ming but did not want to buy coz it has no edit feature for Word Xcel etc. However I was told recently that there is a utility I can download for the net for editing word/ Excel do u have any idea about the same? Also how is the compatibitity with outlook 2003 using OWA/ OMA. Any other input is also welcome [email protected]

  • Hey, can someone assist me with adjusting the meager sound? here's my email [email protected] and my msn aswell. thank u very much . .

  • hi every body i want to buy this phone but with lots of bad adn good comments i dont know wht to do some of you write that the qualiy of sound is low and we can not install any soft ware on nit plz help me ?

  • motoming is one of the most smart looking and working mobile I've ever seen it has got unique style and features good work motorolla and keep producing stuff like these

  • about 300$

  • i had this phone for almost a year now, yes you can use ringtones from your memory card which is a plus, i say the only problem is the music volume since its pretty low, all you people that have problems? i havent had any problems with my phone like you guys had. i suggest you buy the phone if you dont care about the music volume

  • iam from kashmir iam really thankfull to motorola company for this unique and precious model motoming ts really a good mobile but one bad feature low volume plz give us some software to increase its volume

  • Hi...im planning to buy Moto A1200. Is it capable of transfering sms to the PC? Im using Sony Ericson and Ive no probs with saving all my sms because they are important to me. Does Moto Ming also support that function? If yes, are the details (ex. time/day the msgs was sent) of the msg can also be saved? Can this mobile phone also record long phone conversations? I hope someone can answer.. =)

  • The phone seems to be pretty cool, I bought mine in Beijing, China; however for some reason my phone does not register a connection when I connect the USB to the computer. Does this mean my phone is bootlegged? What can I do to fix this problem ?

  • @ Clara I had the same problem as you have but I considered it as follow: With A1200 you get a sexy smart phone,I know it's temting but whats the use when you can't find new softs for linux? It just makes the battery loose and may halt responding in some conditions! Everyone knows motorola has problem with it's UI and now they have linux on this to overcome prices! I don't know if the screen sleeps every now and then but for sure you will have problem opening the flip every time you get a call,no button to open it for you! Shouldn't we think that this is primary a cell phone? On the other hand there is sleek D900 with plenty of features you can find for a cell phone exept the OS and thus the ability of customization like those smarts,with a gorgeous disply you will have more than what you need!Plus that this one even works better with email clients! Sticking to those primary functions and knowing of it's good call quality I went for D900!

  • thats so nice & the best thing about this is that you can use it as a modem!!!

  • i liked it alot, but i have a problem with finding soft for this phon plz... if someone knows any place from where i can download some soft, tell me...Thenk you again...

  • whats the use of a pda when it can't neither install new softwares nor sync with outlook? but it can delay on responding for sure. i remember a1000 used symbian but why they have had linux on this?

  • Does this phone use the ringtone straight from the memory card plz i would realy like to know thankx

  • motoming-The only problem is not so good sound quality. rest is ok.

  • Well, I had no problems that anybody has stated with this phone up until today. I have had the phone since November, and today it decided not to turn on which makes me think that it is the battery, other than that its a good buy.

  • I want to buy this phone but I saw so many bad and good comment on the motorola Ming A 1200. It's a little bit confusing now. Could someone tell me is it worth to buy it. Thanks Liz

  • Good price for a pocket pc,but looks cheap,I think it's made in china and some softs are not in english ?! It's terrible if the screen freezes every 5 min. and SD memory dies! Camera doesn't look great and no flash,we can also find some more pixels with this price. What about call quality and signal ?!

  • this cell phone is a sik phone but the problem is that the shape is not that good

  • i'm thinking of buying the motoming (a1200), could anyone tell me if its worth having...? thanks

  • I am sorry you guys have had difficulties, though I have not had any problems with mine (purchased in Hydrabad). Doesn't hang or freeze up at all. I only need to charge it every two days, so battery seems strong as well. Of course, wireless phones are getting closer to being computers everyday. That being said, it is not unusual for any Mobile phone to freeze up on occasion. Just my two cents worth.

  • This phone is a mess. I tried to change GPRS settings but does not save the changes done. It keeps the old settings as is. MPT is also a mees. I can not transfer files from my PC to this phone. I searched on the net. Everybody is facing this problem but not solution. Motorola support site is also not having any updates. See below the problem list microSD card not working. Service center has not yet given me the new card MPT not working GPRS not working

  • Noticeable idea about smart phones! Useful comments.

  • This phone is like a beautiful but dumb blond.Looks good but crap otherwise. This phone is for the nerdy geeks out there. Not for people with a fast life. Every time you wanna do something you have to take out the stupid little stick and start poking at the screen and then wait forever for the phone to react. Anyway, smart phones are for dumb people and smart people do not need smart phones SeeYa

  • No reviews of this phone on earth,so strange! Many complains about this one while some consider it good? How do you rate it?

  • I purchased this Motorola A1200 Just 2 weeks back in Bangalore, i fed up of this phone. Don't buy this. This phone has touch screen problem,every 5 min it going to be hang, we have to switch off the phone to restart the phone. *Battery is also poor, without using more we have to recharge this phone daily twice. *motorola service is very poor, they take 2 or 3 weeks for fix the phone problem. *I heard that while servicing they replace the original (New)components to the old one.

  • I have brought the Motorola A1200 phone on e-bay and the person did not sent me a instruction book, so i really can use my phone as i read some on the funs that so buys have i am sad. so if some one could e-mail me the book i would be so happy.

  • Ok, i have always had an aversion towards motorola phones till i bought the A1200 (MotoMING) :-) and thank god i did.. Pros: 1. Very stable OS (surprisingly fast too) 2. Stylish looks, solid build, light and compact 3. nice 2.4" TFT 256K display 4. Preloaded useful applications (no messenger tho) 5. Strong signal reception, good call quality 6. value for your money Cons: 1. 3rd party software hard to find (although has a very nice collection) 2. Speaker volume is slightly low (but it has been fixed in newer firmware and can also be fixed easily with a simple application) I have been using this phone for over 2 months now and it has NEVER given me any problems. I would seriously recommend this phone to all who want a powerful, feature packed cellphone that is sure make you the centre of attention and also does not burn a hole in your pocket.. Good job motorola!!

  • microSD card that comes with this phone does not work. Make sure you check this card at the time of purchase and get a new card.

  • i was using a A925 earlier a much bulkier version of the A1200.There is one thing to say a lot has been upgraded.... lot of brains have been put into this small gadget..thats wht i wld call it,,battry surprisingly is not bad at all wld last u for one whole day.the phone is more focused on the style and futuristic softwares than on needs.The worst part on a motorola PDA is it hangs without a reason , will not take much of load if you want to work on heavy files ..net on phone is poor.to sum it up its a delicate plastic toy nothing as sturdy as a NOKIA.have used for just one day and the phone is complety dead.

  • hi everybody i've this phone but i've problems like i don't know how 2 conect 2 my messanger MSN 'cause the only lenguage on it it's in chinese so it's supose 2 b in english 2 pls if somebody can help me pls pls write some information

  • Just 15 days back only i purchased motoming(A1200), From that day it self the touch screen is not working properly, it hangs. then we have to switch off the phone to restart it. I realy fed up with this. when i conserned motorola service center, they reload the software but the problem is still going on, now they are telling there is a board problem, now from a week my phone is given for service, but still they are not returned, Motorola service is very poor. I strongly recomond that don't buy this phone.

  • my phone doesnt work the touch pad,is there a way to reset??help

  • Hi guys i wod like to know wether its memory is extendable?

  • Great phone, but battery life is pathetic, does not last even for a day, with minimal usage

  • i have no problem w/ my new moto a1200, the sound is really great compare to nokia and sony ericson phones..coz its 3d surround sound..very loud..nice fm radio(signal is clear)...friendly use...the only thing im not satisfied is the camera..its not as clear as n70 or other 2mp sony & nokiaphones..its like v3x camera too(kinda blurry sometimes)..BUT i give this phone a 95% as my percentage of being a great smartphone that i ever had...;p

  • Issue, not able to send sms (text). As soon as I attempt to send a text, my A1200 will prompt "font to large".... Anyone, a little help on correcting this issue. Bottom line, I love my phone. Thanks

  • so far so good. I got this phone about a week ago and love it. The only thing I have noticed is that flipping the phone open is a bit of a pain. Most flip phones have a deep groove to allow you to flip it open with your thumb, this phone's groove is a bit on the shallow side.

  • FOR those of you who have this phone through cingular or t-mobile and dont like using their internet browser(because it is really for blackberry) there is a solution...dont change your settings. Go to Opera's site and download the browser for mobile format. it works seemlesly on this phone.

  • hii guys i wanna 2 buy ts mobile but mailny i wanna 2 know d main drawbacks of tis mob... bcoZ after buyin it v should not hav 2 feel know.. so some1 help me plZ... do mail me... ma waitin 4 ur kind reply...

  • this is a stylish and good smartphone. The applications are quite exciting. the only problem is with battery life.its poor barely lasts for 1 day that too with meagre usage ajay

  • i wamted this cellphone badly ... but thanjs to gsmarena.com & to the users reviews ..... after reading all the opinions .... i was totally embarassed.... u know y ?? coz every1 sed that only the appearance counts & is appropriate to use for 2-4 months only .... after dat u'll feeel that u made a mistake buying it ...

  • whoever made this phone i must say is creative...but whoever created the settings is a dumbo! this phone sucks...do not buy it..i had it for 1 month and now the screen is freezing every now and then...it is a sucky decision to buy this phone!

  • Hey I have had this phone for a few months now and I love it. This pics are alittle blurry, but when transfered to my laptop they are clear. Downloading is fairly quick. When using the phone as a modem, well it does its job just not as fast as would like to be but hey its free.

  • sexy phone beuti

  • Cute little phone this is.... Brilliant concept. A sure head turner & conversation piece. I really love this phone. One thing really bothers me: I cannot play variable bitrate mp3's or Ogg Vorbis files.

  • thinking of picking up this phone, just a few questions, is it a smart phone? meaning apart from the pre downloaded or pre installed softwares can we download and install other applications? are they available easily? also me hearing stories that the linux os that this phone has sometimes does not work well with a win. based os system? is it true? waiting to hear more from u guys kinda love this phone would love to pick it up....

  • anybody know how to configure the Ming for the old at&t... the sim card that has at&t before the cingular merger. Trying to do some surfing on the Ming. MMode version for congfiguring the phone. Thanks

  • I've had this phone for about 2 months now but i dropped it like 3 times and now the screen keeps freezing. Should I get it fixed or is there a way that i can do it myself?

  • wel dis mobile seems 2 be stylish but thde working mode s absolutely dum... ringtone is not audible at all.... usage of memory card waste,,,

  • i have no problem with this phone i have had it for some months now thers a little switch at the top of the camera lens the switches between a macros mode and regular. that may be the reason bhind your blurred pics. this phone makes using a phone feel more important than it is.

  • Actually i got mines from the black market in NY so the internet does not work and some how water got into it and now it turns on but a few seconds later it'll turn off WHERE CAN I GET IT FIXED?>

  • I've had my Ming for just about 2 months. Hands down best smart phone I've ever owned. BUT I wouldn't get it for my parents or my boss. Once you have the proper firmware and seem edits, its nearly perfect. I no longer carry a pda. Although I wish this had a sync'ing cradle for ActiveSync, Moto Phone Tools works well enough. Stills and vid are great. With a 2gb transflash, space is nearly eternal. Built in Office Doc and pdf view. I'm so happy not to "need" a crackberry. Email rec/send from all my accounts. Push would be nice and I expect someone to write an app for it soon. I love this phone. Small, cool style, incredibly powerful.

  • Have this phone for good 6 months now. Its no where comprated to a SE. The sound quality is good but volume very very low. To an extent you cant hear the phone ringing in the adjascent room. Camera is not stable at all, photos blurred most of the times. Like the explorer on the phone. And the PC suite. Over all not that great a phone.

  • I have been using this phone for the past 6 months. I got lots of compliments because of my phone but the only problem is the sound quality. I think its too low compared to other phones. Is this problem only with my phone???????

  • where I can download software for this phone(motorola a1200(linux)). thank you [email protected]

  • it seems that the motorola a1200 is not working properly with windows, that�s the reazon of you can not connect the mobile with your pc always. I think is becouse the mobile works with linux operating system.

  • Hi i just get y motorola a1200 but it sounds very low can some one help me, i am using a mac so please send me an email :D

  • guys wt is 3g technology??? kindly xplain me in layan as well as technical terms.....plzz...

  • I wish this phone can upgrade the 3G specification.

  • i had this phone since april i like it the only thing is i dont get multimidia messaging that really sucks my carrier is cingular any ideas what i can do

  • i wish that this phone would be compatible with more than one service provider!!!

  • Best phone with office and multimedia features at best price...

  • h0w can I transfer files to my pc? I've tried it a million times, sometimes it works. most of the time it doesn't! grrrr... when I connect my phone it just charges the bat! I don't get it! pls help me.......

  • To all, I have this phone for two years with out any major problems and i learn one thing if u like your phone to last long with out shuting-off and freezing-up all the time...... #1 DONT DOWNLOAD staff that did not belong in this phone to begin with. #2 DELITE as many useless files as posible. #3 If u do download program cracks, codes ,cheats ...please wait for some one to doit first , let them brake their phones... #4 DO NOT put your phone in a case with magnetic clips,locks...even if its oem

  • best fone at best price

  • Edge can be enabled by a simple mod. Thousands of apps available. GPS can be easily interfaced. Can be used as a webcam. High Image stability mode can be activated for good stable stots. Volume can be increased. Radio can be heard without headset plugged in. lots more things yet to be discovered. very interesting phone.

  • To the person who posted about the phone not picking up a signal after 2 weeks... My phone did the same thing after 6 months. I had to take it in to get serviced, and they had to replace a part (have no idea what it is called, though) that was really critical. I dropped $100 on it, but it's under warranty now. You may have to do the same thing. Also, my phone 'died' mid-call this week. I was able to turn it on after fidgeting with the battery, but it sure gave me a scare. Anyone else with these problems and know why this phone can be so unstable? When it works I love it, but it's not as reliable as the old chunky phones!

  • i am from trinidad. I have one....It just bess :)

  • How can I get excel and powerpoint on my ming?

  • I'm a little confused... lots of people claiming to be 'phone conniseurs' are gushing over a phone that has very few internet options? Or am I not understanding something about this phone? I think majority of people praising the phone are most likely ex-Razr owners. With At&t and T-mobile slowly building 3G networks in the U.S., it's most prudent to save your money and wait for 3G enabled phones, or else you're dropping $300 for a phone that's already outdated. Even if you don't care about 3G, at least look for something that has Wi-fi at least. There is no reason for phones to not have this unless they are budget phones.

  • Are the specs correct? No 3G, no wi-fi, no EDGE? Only GPRS? That doesn't seem like cutting edge tech to me.

  • I love this phone and I own it. It is kinda sad that they dont have this technology in USA. It takes a few days to learn the true features and get assimilated into this technology. Some of the probelms that I have been advised to be weary of is to not bring this phone to any magnetic devices. The other issue is having your computer snyc upto motorolla a1200.

  • I cant synchronice the OC and the device. Does anybody know how to get then matched???

  • A1200 is more than just a technology. This piece can sell you out. I love it.Oooooooo, least i forget, I just got one (Black). So cute, so everything. I love my slick.

  • Such a phantastic piece. Excellent crystal clear sound & Sharp display.. I would LOVE to buy it...

  • hey crazywhitey24 check out this link.. also make sure your gprs is on when receiving MMS.... hope this helps richN

  • Hi I just bought the Motorola A1200 and whats the thing that will make your low speaker higher, I seen 2 comments, but i need the name, thanks RaMI

  • Disappointed . Phone worked for only two weeks. Now no net work ID and no transmission indicator despite the antenna enabled. Also searching for network. Tried SIM card on another phone and it works. What could be the problem.

  • hey u guys...dis phone is d best i had ever own .......plz dnt care about low volume...that bug can b vanished with a application called volumeup specially made for ming a1200 by YAN(d xpert)....so go on buy one and see u hav d best one in d town.......goodluck....

  • I just got one, it's super loud.

  • m seriously considering this phone but am a little leary about it after reading some of the comments listede here and elsewhere. 1. It sounds like the ring and call volume levels are not very good.. (can anyone verify this?) I have found that all 3 of my last phones suffered the same issue. (Nokia 6260, Imate SmartFlip, O2 XDA Atom Exec) 2. I found that Microsoft Operating systems work very well, and am a little unfamiliar with Linux. I love the ability to access and edit Microsoft Office documents on the fly. Is editing available with this model??? 3. I saw a couple of posts that claimed the touchscreen was easily scratched. Any validity to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • hi every body i want to buy this pretty phone but i have a question: ming operation system is linux and i want to know abaut software supporting of this phone. can install all or someone of linux pc software on it ? thanks

  • hey ppl id like to know if this awesome palm have a flash for the camera

  • Is there is any better version of Motorola MING A1200 available in the market

  • yeah, i'm that guy swimming with the phone in the ocean(proving they are NOT waterproof) anyway, MING have too many issues coming up during the usage in the first few months, i've been here and on multiple forums and My greatest opinion- IF YOU ARE NOT PROGRAMMER, or INTO F-KING arround with your phone at your risk and expense- DO NOT GET IT! unless of course you know someone owning this phone for a year and done multiple MODS on it!otherwise it's not yours! also it's not considered a BUSINESS phone(lacks a lot of features) and suxx as a music phone! N95 is the sht.! although pricey! N80 is the second best, but buy a spare batteries!

  • WELL, currently i'm a former user of NOKIA N80 , which i believe is a VERY GOOD unit except a battery life(i have 9 spares)well, I took an accidental swim in the Atlantic ocean last week(guess where my phone was)!!! aniway, i will get an A1200 today(used by my bosses son) and i'm an IT guy for that man. My opinion about A1200- Great phone if you are into GSM screwing arround, as this phone has too many bugs, and problems( in my case- misalligned screen)I personally willing to modify it with suggestions of MING forumers, and that's the only way... otherwise it's a very risky investment, although it's not bad looking phone! Yesterday i've looked LIVE at NOKIA N95, my opinion- It's THE BEST! although quiet expensive $750.00 US dollars. gotta work hard and fix a lot of computers to get that much to spend on the phone!

  • Lawrence: 2GB

  • I have called the Motorola's customer service locally on whether can A1200 play mp3 or listening songs over bluetooth. Confirmed it is not workable through normal single side bluetooth headset; it only can do so through stereo headset H-820.

  • I just recently bought this phone but the volume is extremely low even when I talk on the phone is there a way to increase the volume of my ringtones and conversations?

  • This phone SUCKS!!!!! I spent a small fortune on this phone because of all the fantastic features for my husband. He has had the phone for not even 5 months...he can no longer see anything on the screen when the phone rings so you don't know who is calling....it no longer works with the bluetooth receiver....he can no longer use it alone he has to use it with the ear bud otherwise he can't hear anyone and....now there is a HORRIBLE echo....WASTE OF MONEY!!!! I am soooooooooooooooo disappointed with Motorola.

  • whats the max memory can this phone use on a Micro SD?

  • Wonderful phone!! Just go for it!

  • This phone sucks. Died on my in 6 month. From the 1st month of having it I used it with my bluetooth and it would loose signal. This is my 2nd Moto and is my last ever. Motorola don't have good reliable phones.

  • can anyone send me the a1200 mms settings for cingular, i have been going crazy trying to figure it out. Thank you very much to whom ever can help

  • This phone DOES support EDGE, but it is not enabled by default. The Motorolafans forums have lots of information about how to mod this phone to enable all sorts of features. I've had mine about a year and it's been great. And yes, the joystick goes in 4 directions and is also a button. Some games and programs don't quite work as intended because of the touch screen though.

  • No response of Motrorola service center, specially in ahmedabad, even moto shop s.g.highway no response. Not advised to buy

  • Yes, this phone is suitable for teen because this phone is really not a business phone, no Edge, no wi fi, not 3g, actually, overall this is a nice phone but the only prob is it has 8 mb built in user memory only but u can add up using the micro sd,ok? word of advice, it's your choice that matters at the end, ok? happy choosing! oh, by the way, from the Philippines too, phone enthusiast.!=>

  • im planning to buy this fone, i just want to know if the phone is suitable for teens just like me. im really into touch screens phone/PDA. Im here in the philippines and wanted to know as well if this will work fine with Filipino just like me..for thos who know the answer can email me [email protected] thanks alot guys..need your help badly

  • Does the joystick on the Ming allow 4 way navigation or two way i.e. only up down or left and right as well?

  • Go into SET UP then DATA NETWORK and create a new profile - then go to the browswser and set tmobile as the default profile.

  • This is my review for Motorola A1200 (Ming) phone: Score: ------ 3 out of 10. Final conclusion: ----------------- This is an amazing piece of hardware: beautiful, small, nice buttons, and most important - it includes touch screen. However, the software of this phone is the worst I've ever encountered in the last 10 years in any electronic device. The user interface is terrible, full of bugs, and not flexible at all. Take a look in Motorolafans.com forums to get an idea of the number of flaws in the a1200 software. If you are a Linux fan, and expect to be able to rewrite some applications for the phone, then think again, because Motorola made it impossible to change most of the phone functions. Motorola could make this phone get a score of 9 out of 10 by improving the user interface. Hardware: --------- The phone is beautiful, small, light, and feels good in the hands. The screen shows nice pictures, and the touch-screen functionality is accurate. The buttons and joystick feels good. However, there are 4 main flaws: 1) The flip is hard to open with one hand - not like in other Motorola phones. Sometimes when trying to answer a call I open the flip and then my finger slip and it closes and hangs the call. 2) The touch screen is very sensitive to scratches. DO NOT drag the pen on it, otherwise you are seriously risking in a new scratch on the screen. This is a very strange characteristic for a touch screen phone - why couldn't they pick the same materials as other companies (Sony-Ericson for instance) did many years ago ? 3) Some users reported that the color pilled of the silver button on the side of the phone. However, mine is in good condition after 2 months of use. 4) This phone does not support 3rd generation - strange for a phone in this range of prices. Overall, taking all the cons into consideration, this is still one of the best hardware used for cellular phones at the present time. Software: --------- Don't be lead by the beautiful appearance of this phone and by the fact that it is using Linux-based operating system. The phone software and interface may make you sorry that you bought it (well, I'm not sorry about buying it because this is the only option for small touch-screen phone with flip). Well, were to start ? Take a look at the forums of Motorolafans.com, and see how many issues are involved with this phone, what kind of strange (and sometimes dangerous) hacks you need to do in order to fix some problems, and how many issues are unsolved. This is not how a cellphone should be !!! Here is a short list of some problems: - There is no tool to update the software of the phone, so if Motorola fixes a bug, there is no official way to get the fix.... So you're stuck with what you bought. - Every time that I make a phone call, two (!!) pop-up windows appear on the screen, and freezes everything for several seconds. One of the windows is saying that I have a voice mailbox (who doesn't ? we are in 2007, aren't we?), and the second widow says something that no one understands (I asked in some forums, and nobody have a clue about the meaning of this message). Just imagine, two pop-up windows every time that I make a call !!! Some guys in motorolafans.com have found a solution to the first window - if you disable your voice mail, then the window may disappear (given that your provider let you disable call diverts). Well, so if you don't need a voice mail, this might be the phone for you... - The volume is not sufficient for many users. - The phone internal Opera web browser makes unexpected internal errors in random occasions (on the same web page it might work flawlessly one time, and fail on another). - The interface between the phone dialer and address book is not good. For instance, you can not write a number in the dialer and then store it as a contact without dialing the number first. I can not point on the exact other problems with this issue, but it is definitely less comfortable then other phones that I used. - Scrolling down the list of contacts in address book if very slow - unless you drag the scroll bar with your pen which will scratch the screen. - You can set the email reader not to download large emails. But then it does not even let you know that you received such emails. - The phone (at least mine) reboots itself with no particular reason from time to time. This is not a big deal, but it is definitely strange behavior. - Motorola programmers (not all of them are good according to the results with this phone) set the shortcuts to important applications on the main screen. Their choice of "important" applications is strange however: the video camera got one of the 5 icons. The ring style settings got the second shortcut, etc. You have the choice of changing the shortcuts, but only 2 of the 5. Which means that you will always see the video camera, web browser, and ring style shortcuts on your main screen, but will have to spend much more efforts to access your real favorite applications. - On the main screen there is no indication whether you set up your alarm clock (and, as you may find out in the hard way, in order to complete setting the alarm clock you have to click the appropriate "save" button). - - - You got the idea. There are so much more of those annoying "features", or bugs, or whatever you want to call it. I will just save you the time and stop right here. Well, some of you might say "but it is base on Linux, so the community might be able to solve all those issues". Wrong ! Motorola have made it impossible for the community to fix most of those bugs. There is no source code for the important stuff, and no official tools to compile, debug, etc. Good luck with your phone....

  • can anyone tell which ones the better one b/w rokr e6 and the a1200...features look pretty much the same.........

  • any canadian rogers users been able to get the internet to work....I have the settings but have been unable to input them into the phone correctly to get them to work.

  • hi,to make a1200 read your text messages,your need to turn on talking phone.you go to setup>click on voice command >and check talking phone and click save.

  • I have moto Ming, and facing a strange porblem, its been just one month of my purchase. Whenever I click on the application, it doesnt not remain static, it lists all the app icons and stands at the end of page. If i click on address book, here also, it doesnt allow me to check the name, but it keeps auto scrolling till the end of the book and stops. This is really anoying. But When I restart, it works good for some minutes, till I close the Flap. Any reasons? any body has come across such thing ??

  • can anyone help me out. how do you get the a1200 to read you, your text messages.. im trying to figure that out.! anyone know?

  • Does this phone have same email capabilities as blackberry?? i.e. instant email/push email

  • www.getjar.com

  • GUYZ!!..Guyz!! . .. this is a fantastic phone . . BUT . ..anyone can help me . .where to download games compatible to this A1200 phone .. any free websites???...help me pls...im dying to play games . . . .

  • the design is really good and the feauters also , the problem is that the operating system is really fragil and in my case i can't acces the internal memory even whit the motorola fhone tools if some one knows how to fix it please emailme to [email protected]

  • this phone supports AIM IM right?

  • cool thing! Any one know how much it costs?

  • Stand-by time is too short ranging from 24 to 48 hours without needing a re-charge.

  • I have this phone for about 4 months. 1: Design, you may have problem open the phone with your hand but you will get use to it. every time you take this phone out to make or answer a call, some one beside you will ask you what the hall is this. but i hate where have the micro SD card, ever time you want to transfer stuff from or to micro SD, you need to turn off the phone and take the battery out to get the micro SD out 2: Features, great picture with 1Gig memory, easy to transfer pic, wallpaper, ringtones, and MP3. with memory card and card reader to your PC. also i love card reader feature. 3: Performance, use it for Rogers network and i have no problem with it. my opinion don't download any file to it such fireware or themes and you will be fine. battery don't last too long if you play with the phone all the time, also you can not add expanded battery. over all as a phone i rate 8.5 out 10.

  • does anyone know how to load and play videos on the A1200? I keep getting the "does not recognize plug in screen! this as well as not being able to access internet browser, also mms messaging. It does support 850, it is a nice size, i give it 2 thumbs up for that, seems to be a waste of time for north amercian users though. Plus no EDGE,

  • just want to know a few thing before buying this phone... Can I use it with out the pencil thing? How does the battery life go? Can it stand a fall? Is the software for the linux based system easy to get? Thanx

  • Is this fone suitable for youth who use use it for making many calls and chatting on fone a lot????

  • hi i buy a1200,recetly and having interest to activate GPRS .plz let meknow the procedure relating to phone .

  • hey guys... motorola is upgrading Ming.... just check out - They are adding Edge & The new Ming's memmory can be expanded by 2 GB... Check it out...

  • I have had the phone for a a week now and its great. Factory recommends 1 gig card max but is anybody using a 2 gig memory card and have they had any problems?

  • does anyone know if moto intend to update the ming to bring it into 2007? adding EDGE to a phone that is over a year old doesn't really allow it to compete with the latest phones out there. for example, its technical specs look ancient when compared to the likes of SE K810 or Nokia n95 or apple iphone. I really like the design of this phone, but its dated features and poor UI discourage me from buying it. i would ideally like this phone to have a better camera, better music player, better UI and the ability to download additional 3rd party software - this is almost impossible for this linux based phone.

  • guys i need a lil help, i just bought a 2GB microSD and i really dont know how to transfer all the musics and pictures i had in my other 512mb, is it possible to do that? please guys help me out, i will really appriciate it! thankz in advance...

  • what is the maximum memory of this phone? becoz i am planning to buy a 2GB or may be 8GB can you guys help me out? please post your answer a an opinion please guys...

  • Well it is an excellent phone which gives great speed. However once i bought it i found it is of no use to me. It is not compatible with microsoft exchange server and i cannot get my corporate emails on this phone. i spent such a handsome amount to buy this phone and was shocked to hear many cheaper phones are able to do what this beauty cannot.

  • Hey people ! i found out that theres 3 different types of Motorola a1200. Theres the original A1200, An A1200i, and A1200r. I looked at my box and my says A1200r. So maybe thats why everybody has different problems and different ways of using there phone. But my phone came with a 128mb of extra memory, i heard and read here that some people get a 512mb in the box. But now I got a problem I bought a 1gb micro sd card and my A1200 dont recognize it! Some people say it works up to a 2gb memory. So if anybody can help me out or if everybody can check there A1200 model let everyone know whats going on and whats the difference! Thanks Alot ! anything send me any information to my email its [email protected] ~>>BAM

  • a1200 really looks good n i want to use touch screen with good quality music plz suggest me whether to buy this r to go for nokia 6700 r some other phone plz do suggest me thnq

  • Hi, this phone is fantastic. Business Card reader function is very good. The Flap feature is the very good as well as bad. Good in a sense that it protects TFT screen from various scratches. Bad in a sense that its speaker is in flap connected through hair line wires. so if flap gets damaged or hurt then gone case. but very good one. One very bad thing about Motorola i have noticed is the quality head phone which they provide. The head phone given is the same one which is with its low cost range mobiles. No improved version of head phones with high cost segments. which is not in Nokia or SonyEricsson. Headphone comfort is pathetic.

  • Hi, I'm interested in this phone, how is the English handwriting recognition? I heard it was slow as hell. I need it to be fast enough to take notes during a meeting. What say you?

  • Can someone tell me the exact link to download the file to increase the volume or the speakers? i tried looking through motodev.com for P2K COMMANDER V 3.3.0 but i can't seem to find it. Thank you

  • is the ring loud?...and is the battery expensive to buy?..thanks

  • the a1200 its very very good. but i need information about the pen because i lose last night.

  • hey i bought this new phone... exept the sound output everything on the phone just rox never had a depressing moment with it... and just a phone that give a fun and amazing look to even ur business files..... just go for it guys..

  • I'm deciding whether to get the Motorola A1200 and the Motorola v3 Blue RAZR Bluetooth Phone. I don't really need the phone to play music or check my email. All I need it to do is call, text, store numbers, and look pretty. The appeal of the A1200 is that it looks really nice, but it's talk/standby times are lower than the razr and it sounds like it's hard to text with. Is the poor sound quality of the A1200 that's been mentioned also a problem with the razr? Please let me know, I have to make the decision soon. Thanks!

  • I don't have the motorola mobile phone tool under the list of applications, "multimedia" or "all". how do i get the motorola mobile phone tool?

  • for using part of of mp3 for ringtones, use motorola mobile phone tool there is an option in multimedia..

  • whay do u mean By Picsel document viewer

  • Just got mine last week. Honestly the only reason I got this phone is that it looks good. Nothing much out there that can beat a functional tranparent flip. I'll try to be as brief as possible. Strength: -Looks Good (got to say it again) -Smaller than expected -Touchscreen works great -Linux OS, but it's only a plus if you have non-comformity syndrom (why do you think I got a moto when SE and Nokia works sooo much easier?). Weakness: -It's a pain to text on the microscopic virtual keyboard. -You cant text while walking/moving or you'll have a big accident, try it if you dont believe me (trust me this phone will slow you life down). -No highspeed data capabilities (BOOOO!!!) -Short battery life. -Quality of the screen not up to motorola standard (grainy images BOOO!!! The cheaper V3X blows this thing out of the water anytime) -Feature by feature, V3x blows this thing out of the water anytime anywhere. And V3x is waaayyyy cheaper too. -Confusing menu arrangement (only a problem if you're used to moto old school arrangement) -I hate microSD. You can accidently swallow them and still dont realize it not even after you crap em out. Would be a huge plus back in the 70s when the soviet were evil and tried to took over the world every single week. But now, drop one on the tarmac and good luck finding it.

  • Anyone knows how to access thm theme in motoming suggest please if u have any option

  • Hi guys, couple things here. 1. I see ppl say that they can cut part of mp3s to be the ringtone. How do I do that? 2. I have the firmware 53p here, and i want to fix the voicemail bug and network time issue. How do I do that? Please HELP. Thanks a lot!!!

  • Hi friends I am using right now Motoming. It is a good PDA phone but not the best PDA out there. One has asked about the phone to compare with SE W810 and N70, which are basically different kind of phones. SE W810 is Music Centric Phone and N70 is a smartphone whereas Motoming is a touchscreen linux based PDA phone which is actually made for business people. It has good style. Sound is not loud as Nokia and crispier as SE phones but quite ok if u use some modification by editing the sound file which is a bit headache. Music quality through earphone is decent but not good like music phones. Overall Motoming is a good PDA phone with decent operating speed.

  • MING A1200 certainly.. W810, although it has the best camera, its screen is so small compared to the MING with the best screen here. QVGA.. N70 always hang, and its speaker is one of the worst. A1200, in my opinion has the best looks and its price is reasonable. Touch screen with Linux OS. I will go for Ming A1200. N70 is definitely not a good phone, its way to outdated and small screen, bad music

  • To STEVE, Sorry to post, but you didn't have an email address. I am also in the bay area/cingular but I haven't been able to use mms or the internet. Can you help me out? I tried using the settings you posted. Thanks!

  • Hi all, I just purchased a ming, and I want to a micro sd for it. I've been researching online trying to find what size it is compatible with. However, different sites with different specs gives me different size. Some sites say it can only support up to 512mb, while some says it can support up to 1gb. Well, I want to buy a 2gb and some sites say that it does support 2gb. I don't want to buy it and have to return it. Would anyone please let me know if you do know the answer to my question. Thanks a lot for your help.

  • so there i was being a total noob: I backed up my contacts and put all my pics on my mini sd I threw on the old rsd lite 2.7 (I since upgraded to 2.8 ) and tried to put on 48P. evrything seemed to be ok. then rsd reported that the operation had failed. Since then my poor ming wont go past the "Hellomoto" screen. In the 1st modding guide it said that other threads tell of how to use RadioComm to fix it (I Haven't Found those threads). PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!! P.S. If youre wondering why this (situation) qualifies me for noob status 1 i didn't check which version i had before 2 this is my only phone (my gf has probably left 80 msgs). I hope im not S.O.L.

  • Hi, I have my A1200 for a while now, and what bothers me is that the phone itself always chooses the network, which gives me an extra cost. Is it possible to choose network manualy?

  • JK: How were you able to access the web from your phone when the phone itself does not have wifi? Bluetooth from your PC? "I can access the web and thusly my yahoo mail account thanks in large part to the info provided on this post about the Cingular set up." Rafsan: The phone does not come with a headset. It comes with earplugs. "Pls anyone tell me does the headset suppl by the phone work well enough to hear music" 2F2E: You can do that through the Worldtime Icon in your system. Just tap and hold the date for 2 seconds. "can anyone tell me how to set up the date on this phone?" Qy}t: Most softwares from getjar arent supported. Simply because they are not made by qualified people. If some are, they dont function well with your phone. ".jad file from getjar.com... "couldn't find mathced application file".." kifB: You cant seriously make your phone a boombox! Use the earplugs! Yes there are speakers. Check out the motorola site. "Is there any external speaker or audio cables available." VgK7: I quite agree. "It's just a nice thing to have, not a replacement for a radio/CD player/iPod." Uq9B: After missing a "C" there... I doubt it. "an a blind man use this mobile" jjBY: I dont think you can. "How can i save videos directly to my sd card without having to first save it to the phone memory and then transfering to the sd card?Thanks" PWYw: On the stock software on the phone you cant. You have to download softwares for that. "can anybody please tell me if u can view-- power point pesentations word documents adobe-pdf files on the phone" Thats all I have for now... My adventure with my Ming is on-going.

  • SkySkySky, that is about standard. If you look at the specs, you'll see the rated talk time is only 4 hours (decent for a phone but terrible for an mp3 player). That means that you can only talk constantly on a full battery for 4 hours before needing a charge. MP3 play-back takes even more energy. This is the case for most MP3/Phones. Sadly, they're more for fun than as an actual MP3 player. It's just a nice thing to have, not a replacement for a radio/CD player/iPod.

  • Goto www.getjar.com. There are a lot of free software programs that you can find to work with the A1200, along with other phones.

  • Re storing video recrded by a1200 directly to your trans flash just go into the set up menu within the select camcord then set video recording to transflash card directly then save setting and you are good to go. Orville

  • to ALEJO Maybe when you used the usb cable you didnt have the phone on MODEM usb mode. I had the same problem with the phone tool software until i did this change and now it works flawlessly

  • Aujla, It is connected by thin wire in the flip, sound is good, but not really loud.

  • just wanted to know that how is its hearing peice as its embeded in the flip? how does it work?does it give any problem?

  • After some research, I found that this phone's Bluetooth does support sterio headphones. Both Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) are needed and installed. I hope this answers some questions.

  • an a blind man use this mobile

  • Which colour looks the best on this phone?

  • I have a ming for almost a month. I invested a lot of hours trying to sync the phone to my PC (Outlook). It was an impossible task. Completely inconsistent. No way I can do it trhu the cable, I have to do it thru bluetooth. I could not make Motorola Phone Tools work well: 1-it took me many intents of installing and uninstalling and live update, to get to the version 4.36, the one that tech. support of Avanquest advice me to get. Once I got it i still had the same problems: -events were trasmitted one hour later to the phone, (eventhough time, timezone and date were the same) -events in outlook duplicated after each sync., -sometimes it would not copy selected events from the pc to the phone -it would take a lot of time to find the phone -etc. Really completely user unfriendly, or worst, actually it does not work, I am considering, inspite of liking the phone to get another brand to stay away form M.P.Tools. -I tried again in other computer and could not repeat the task of getting to install vs.4.36. Someone had the same problems and could solve them? Thanks a lot for any help.

  • gsmarena review this phone!

  • hey B'John... the music quality is not that good as compared to SE... but yes its better than Nokia... The volume of Speaker phone as well as head phones is quiet low... but, not to worry there are special upgrades available through which you can increase the volume..

  • i just bought this phone, and i would just like to ask how to set up the internet for this phone?? plz and thank you

  • I have the mpx220 ( v1.49 ) a fantastic phone and was thinking about upgrading to the ming. Is any functionality such as outlook sync available? Does it support sterio bluetooth? What format of videos can it play? Is there as much software available as their is for WM? Also, any comments on the quality of the camera? Sorry about so many q's but it sure looks cool!

  • hey i have amotorola a1200 but a can send pictures +tex pleace help me

  • To Raj and Honeyv The phone is not large and bulky just ike a PEBL really - lightly bigger. But if you're going for a touch screen phone surely a small one is counter-intuitive? The lines are nicely rounded and the back is not cheap pladstic but a very tough rubber texture. With resect to the E6 - the latest MINGs have firmware version 24p or 25p which is essentially the same. However- the E6 does seem to have a few extra bits and is more likely to be released/supported in Europe. Bazzoid

  • Dear Adil, First you have to 'pair' with the device you are communicating with (which I assume you have done) If not - use "Bluetooth" on main menu and then press "Search" and follow through To pass to others - 1. use file manager to find the file you want 2. Press bottom left button (three lines) and select "share" from the pop-up menu 3. The phone will then list files in the directory which can be shared (usually all of them!) 4. Check the box next to the file(s) you want to send 5. Press "OK" 6. A new menu comes up........ "Share via..." - click the radar button next to bluetooth (NOTE THAT EVERYTHING TO THIS POINT IS ALSO THE WAY YOU CAN EMAIL OR MESSAGE FILES TO ANYONE ALSO) 7. Press "OK" 8. From the "Send To" menu, select the device you have previously paired with 9. Press "Send" Bazzoid

  • the ming has one of the nicest feels of any phone I handled. The linux operating system is really nifty so hacking into the phone is really easy. the only bad part is since it is a touch screem dialing out is a little more work but not that much of a drawback. The internet works now but it was pain to set up because of all the wrong info posted on how to set it up. I also really like the sound resoulution.
