  • No read the specs it only takes up to 1gb

  • i think this is the only motorola device you can call a Mobile phone (not a big fan of moto) but this phone is great, it's got windows mobile on it, meaning you can view movies and such and it's extremly user friendly the simple design makes it a great phone even for begginers. This phone deserves an A grade for the price/functionality/user friendly char. great phone buy it you won't regret it ;)

  • am have a handphone of type mpx200 in iraqi kurdistan fbut its not working good and in my country no one can repair it.all program arnot working only contact and call history and when i on it it written aero plane mode but how can i change this mode if i cant do with its setting. am so like that hand please hellp me how can i repear it?

  • Anybody knows if this phone supports 4gb sd cards?Thanks.

  • :)

  • Anyone knows how to increase the volume while playing an mp3 file? My volume is remaining low even if I turn it maximum by jog dial, by the media player volume buttons or by selecting "Settings" for the file :(

  • Phone was OK whilst it lasted, but before the 2 years contract was up, left me with only 3 keys working on the keyboard. I have a charger and USB cable to offer for anyone who needs those. Call me 021 959 4126 (W) or E/M me

  • Hey my dad had this phone before and it was lying around and its unlocked so I decided to use it. However when I try to transfer mp3s or pictures onto it via Activesync, it tries to convert the files and then says "File path not specified" Ive searched everywhere on google and cannot find a solution, ive tried uninstalling and installing again, rebooting, everything. Does anyone have a solution to get mp3s and photos onto this phone without getting an error in Activesync? Thanks in advance.

  • Press the small silver "Start"-button on the side for a second only then release and a menu will appear where you can very clearly put airplane mode on or off...

  • HI All, Does anyone use the GPRS function for browing net on ur phone? I am facing a problem. I dont know was the Airplane mode in Quick list. Even in manual it does not describe it.

  • This phone is quite ok with the exception that it could use a better lasting batterylife. And the windows media player takes a moment longer to "load" open if you are using a larger, 2GB memory card like I am doing. The external speaker is loud as hell! I'm playing rock music with it at my job and ppl are going like "WOW" when they see the size of this phone where the sound is coming from.

  • Anyone else had the battery back cover of this phone start to creak after using the phone/opening the cover a couple of times?

  • hi there, if u wanted to hook ur phone to pc, u need to have at least USB cable, or infrared IR device connected. One more thing, install sync software from the CD given.

  • i am getting this tommarow and im going to flash it to wm5

  • Does someone know how can I install java games.Can someone tell me a site to download good java menager.You don't need a new batery, just get a charger with an input 90-260VAC 50_60Hz and output of 750mA and the batery time is longer(7-10h longer).

  • @mihai just buy at phonestores .. if it doesnt exist, i think u could buy it at ebay or motorola dealers .. at indonesia .. it priced IDR 120,000.00 (about 15 USD).

  • Good point, Nick! Roswell, can you help us? Were we can buy this �Motorola MPX200 1700 mAh ORIGINAL� battery? I�m very pleased with this phone and I don�t want to change it. Jesse, press and hold the �*� key.

  • does anybody know how to change the letters from 123,abc, and t9

  • can i put nivigatie tom tom on these mobiel???

  • Where in the world one can buy "stronger" battery than this which came with the phone? How do you mean "Motorola 1700mA original", I've never heard of it... Name, address, link, anything...

  • Hy im from Croatia.I have an sd card of 2gb.Can i put java games on it.I have instaled MIDP-AMS,java virtual machine but i cant install a game.Why,please help.Can i put an GPS softwere,I try with the softwer Tom Tom but it didnt complete the instalation.Can anyone tell me a website to download games for mpx200 with windows 2003.

  • OH MY GOD!!! HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! - why would you buy a phone this old to start complaning about all sort of small BullS... then get a newer technology. about the battery make sure is Motorola MPX200 1700 mAh ORIGINAL not the 700mAh Standard that comes with the phone and DONT BUY weird some asian knockoff because IT WILL NOT WORK FULLY, also, get a desktop charger which workks best charging the battery at its FULL capacity... the phone DOES NOT!!! this is motorola�s fault but I have said it so many times and nobody seem to be listening. Also you might want to upgrade the software via Moto firmware or flash it to WM2003 since as we know the mpx200 comes with Windows for Mobile WM2002 which is NOT good on the battery chargin department anyways... so CRY ME A RIVER!!!... get a newer technology PEOPLE, STOP SHOPPING FOR KNOCKOFFS ON EBAY... get a newer, better, cheaper PHONE - READ! -

  • Oh! Dont buy this phone! such a lousy phone with extremely weak battery wont last long only 2-3 hours full charge then it will weak again. only tht the mp34 is very good quality. weak phone!!!

  • Oh yes.. before I forget... DO NOT BUY THE US VERSION because is crippled by ATT and FCC -. by all means necessary by the EU (EUROPEAN version).

  • If you are in a country where the MPX200 is HOT AS HELL (by this I mean good or great), then keep it. In any other case there are now more phone available in the market with more features... if you happen to be a moto lover then look at motorola�s new phones and such. I am a phone collector myself and have exactly 4512 phones at the time Im writing this. MPX200 is great but it has its flows like any other phone (specially when you put the TIRED-ASS windows for mobile 2002 software in it). I have receive to the date 14537 emails (beilieve it or not) from people asking for help, software, advice and whatnot - I HAVE REPLIED TO ALL OF THEM - and will keep on replying... but one thing is sure, 99% of those who email me are real people, really confused about the MPX200 syndrome, which is: - DO NOT INSTAL ANYTHING, ANYTHING I SAID in the phone�s memory, install everything in you SD or MMC card, no matter how small the program is... the mpx200 has a very BAD memory administration problem when it comes to the phone but surprisingly this DOES not happen when the phone is managing the memory card. Missing features on this phone... NONE! - remember is a phone with an operating system which means that the intention of the manufacturer was to sell YOU applications so you can customize the device to your needs, NO MMS? then buy software so you can do it, NO PICTURE for caller ID then buy software so you can do it.. etc... NOTE for the non-believers... this phone DOES support WIFI cards on its very much WEIRD SD/MMC slot... I tested a few that didnt work at all but amazingly the Kodak SDIO WIFI adapter works like a charm (it came with a KODAK cam my wife gave to me as a gift)... but again... this phone is OLD... there are now better technologies out there, faster, nicer and so so much cheaper... I hope this can be of help for future buyers. :) I�m out. Roswell.

  • MPX200 made (or crippled) in america will NOT work properly in asian countries since the internal antenna was none to cause damage (like those in old motorola phones)... via software they regulate this so called non-dangerous radiation. but when used in other countries then is not enough so you will get reception problem... sorry... there is a solution though... i can give it to you for 50$...lol.. nah friend just kidding... just flash the phone with a european ROM (WM2003) - and you are good to go... :)

  • Yes, you it will work with 2GB SD-card on it. (tried only with WM2003 OS) Cheers!

  • This phone has a lowest SAR in the world !!! It's only 0,12W ! If you want a healthy phone buy it now !

  • Great phone, very upgradeable. I have Windows Mobile 5.0 running on it at the moment. Works great. Before that i had 2003SE on it. Both make the phone faster than the original 2002 version. If your phones battery goes flat very quickly then dial *#**364# then go to Options > Layer 1B > Force Charge.

  • i dont know ehy it doesn't work..i just copy and paste it..try this site and have 3links about it(wm05)..

  • to henrique on bottom of page you have instructions and can download wm05..

  • @HENRIQUE: DO NOT install wm05, if you have wm02 or wm03. It is lousy, full of bugs, and it is THE WORSE Windows Mobile ever made. I flashed my phone to wm05 and returned to wm03 after three days. For your own good accept my advice

  • I have one of those, and works great!! Please someone email me how I get upgrade to WINDOWS MOBILE 5.0 PLEASEE!! thanks!!

  • Hey everyone. Im planning to buy this phone (january 2 i suppose) after reading that it is one great piece of scientific art. Even though these phones are kind of old, i like what it has and the applications it can handle. So my point is: this phone is good for its features... Rite? Your comments will be accepted. (good or bad) Thanks. Please Excuse my spelling. Im typing from my samsung x495.

  • Hi. Im a 16 year old boy who just loves to buy phones and search through them to see what they got inside.(ex. Mp3, ect.) and i was wondering, would this phone be the rite one? ive read that this phone has alot of apps. But then come in the Cons. I get confused. Oh by the way, i plan to buy it on ebay.

  • Yes there is MMS possibilities, but let me remind you this phone is like a any other Windows PC(mobile) - if you dont have applications installed, then is not there - this does not mean unavailable, this means you have to go buy it and install it... get a third party email client because as you know the MMS situation on any mobile is just a multimedia email client (MMS Client Software) - Google this: Arcsoft mms composer - this is for MPX200 as well as many others, you might find it in some other language and in that case just get the translation from the manufacturer and remember. Keep in mind that this device is fully compatible with 95% of applications created for iPaqs with ARM processors (*HINT*) - .

  • Well I see my oroginal post on the MPX220 also applies here so please read and think real hard my freinds: I can assure you this is a wonderful phone. Impressive hardware sadly backed up by the weak windows ce operating system that cripples it to the ground but on the other hand, the device is excellent - PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO USE THE PHONE or go back to any other menu and more simple device. As a smartphone with an operating system, it is bound to crash sometimes, freeze and do whatever actual desktops and laptops do. It is just incredible that this type of devices are available for the general public that most times do not appreciate the talent of these engineers. - now, you need to get yourselves some good software because let me tell you something - would you run your Pc without windows XP?!?, NO!, would you do without Microst Office in any of their versions?!?, NO! and unles you have a Mac (like me, but still using Virtual PC.. lol) you know what I�m talking about. This phone needs an antivirus, photomanagement application and a real mp3 player since WMP simply plays them back without major adds, - thats all. Also get your hands into movies, full lenghts movies, show off because this baby got power TO SHOW OFF... if you need help obtaining applications just email me - I�ll tell you where to get them from in a legal way and NO I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING. you can even install the XVID plug in to view XVID/DIVX/MPEG/AVI/WMV PacketVideo, right in your cell... PLEASE DONT BUY THE PHONE FROM PROVIDERS... buy it from Motorola directly, yes you can buy from them directly like I did - it will come in a blue box and it is unloked and unbranded with everything inside... - Also, you might want to know WIFI IS AVAILABLE for this phone with some minor add-ons.

  • Yes it's true ,i have wm2005 also ,it looks perfect but with minor problems.there is no MMS (client from 2003 doesnt work),think 2003 is more useful.

  • Yep..i've also installed WM 2003 and it works great...also resolved the problem with the battery(only 1-2 days in the WM2002)...

  • I'm also using Windows Mobile 5 on my mpx200 and it's better than 2003 - faster, better design, new ;), very goooood :D cool i say :D peace! Pozdravi za BG-maniacite :D

  • I'm not joking I'm with WM5 but I don't think that's worth it. I think that WM2003 is better.

  • Where did you get the Win 5 os?? I think you must be joking with us! I have my mpx200 with 2003 installed. If you are an It wizard and know what your doing Download 2003 from bplondon.org (search google for exact url)

  • Well now I'm with Windows Mobile 5 on my Moto Mpx200 :) and now it's possible to set Mp3 as a ringtone

  • I am from romania, who is the folder with sound and photo in the menu. I don't find him

  • Where do I get free games and mp4 and avi player for this phone. Thanx in advance.

  • are ll of you kiding me??? havent you of something called eBay??? the phone is great... bad is the people you got it from or the place you got it from.... any and everything is aailable for it....oh lord.... you people are like dumb or something.... YOU HAVE INTERNET... USE IT!

After getting it unlocked by someone here in Ottawa that does it called ImportCell www.importcell.com I got it home stuck my SIM card in and realised it needed to be setup on rogers settings. If you are looking to get the rogers settings working here is the internet info to allow you to use outlook and MSN messenger Connect to : The Internet Access Point: internet.com User name : wapuser1 Password: wap Primary DNS: 207.181.104.4 Secondary DNS: Leave blank IP address: Leave Blank This will get you connected.

At the bottom of the next step, for network, select The Internet. Incomming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.rogerswirelessdata.com Check the box that says Outgoing Server requires authentication as well as Require SSL connection. Pick your own settings for the last two settings as to how frequently you want it to check automatically if any. Anyways now that that is all out of the way, I feel this phone has great potential but feel that the people buying it just do not know how to use it especially in canada, and out network providers wont give us an inch and tell us how. Pros: +Great Functionality +MSN Works like a dream +POP Email retrieval +Downloadable Themes, Ringers, MP3's +Can Double as and MP3 Player +Can Triple as a Video Player. +SD/MMC Expansion Slot Cons: -Aweful Reception (Rogers Ottawa) -Confusing initial set-up Overall I think once you read the manual for this phone and play with it a bit youll get it just the way you like it.

  • This phone had great features, but I think it's a little fragile. I had several problems with the motorola mpx200, like the buttons sometimes jam (numbers get repeated constantly), the phone crashed and I lost all my contacts (solved by linking to your pc) and now the headphone isn't working, so I can't hear other people talk. That 11 months after purchase....

  • The best phone. There are better phones of course in the world, but they cost a lot.

  • I have owned this phone for well over a year and have been constantly dissapointed with it. The OS is slow. It typically locks up or hangs for long periods of time - sometimes forcing me to pull the battery out. It also doesn't keep a signal very well - this could be due to Cingular's coverage, but I have seen folks with other non Motorola GSM phones on teh same network getting much better service. My girlfriend's BlackBerrry works in many places this phone doesn't, and we are both on Cingular. I could complain about this phone for a long time, luckily it is an old model and people probably aren't buying these things anymore. I just know the experience I have had with this phone is making me steer clear of any other Motorola phones in the future.

  • this phone is for people whu know how use it,if you cant work with windows,you wiil be easy to use mpx 200. sorry for my english, i m from Bulgaria.I have this phone and i think is verry smart.

  • the mpx200 is a good phone from motorola, the only thing is that doesn't have a camara. but it has others thing to make you forguet about it, like the mesenger, the windows media player, and other stuff.

  • I am very interested in buying the mpx200 or the mpx220 but one thing, I need to know a couple things before. The sound quality of the phone from speakerphone and just putting it to ur ear and talking. I wanted to know if someone is calling you how loud does it ring since the it is a speakerphone and not jus regular and can u adjust the volume of the ring while the call before u pick up. The last thing is the battery life, is it really what i bin hearing or not.n Could someone help me out.

  • This phone inst horrible. But there are some problems. Because it is almost like a PDA, it spends much time thinking with the little icon. At which time you can do nothing but wait. Also just like a computer it needs to be restarted everynow and then. Let me just say if you love this phone because it does so many things, that will be the smae reason you gfet frustrated by this phone. It does so many things, but it doesnt do any of them GREAT!

  • www.mpx-land.com to upgrade to WM2003

  • NVM.. i got it ^_^. this phone aint that bad

  • Does n e one know where i can download WM2003??

  • The phone is OK but the battery is the worst I've ever seen!!! The new one that come with the phone lasted only 3 months. The 96 Stand by time a up to 4 hrs talk time are BULL! Had an new one send directly from Morotola - lasted only last than a month and now I have to charge it every other day. Drives me nuts! On top of all T-Mobile don't want to support this phone because was too smart for them and the price of 3.99 for T-Zones was to little. They banned it from accesing the net! If I wanted a net commection with this phone, the Tech support guy told me I have to pay $30 and he still wasnt sure if they'll alow this phone for access.Now I have one pretty looking worthles mobile device with a bloody battery.

  • Battery no longer charging!!! Had my MPX 200 for over a year but now battery wont recharge through the charging slot. Looks like one of the charging slot's 5 internal connector pins (which are thin and fragile so watch out!) is broken so this could be the problem. The broken pin is the end one on the far left side as you look into the charging slot. Thought I could maybe recharge using the USB connection cable instead via my computer, which uses the same slot as the battery charger but no luck. Also used three different chargers so its definatly a phone, not a battery charger, problem. So phone dead in the water. Any sugestions?

  • hi!I am from SCG.I bought this fone three days ago and I like it.It's fantastic!!! But I have one little problem:I don't know how can I download pictures,melodies and vieo clips from the internet!!!Can anyone help me!!!Describe me step by step this procedure,PLEASE!!!Answer to me as fast as yo can!THANKS!!!Bye!!!

  • Anyone who wants to upgrade this phone to WM2003 this is the link to get the acclaimed original ROM for MPx200 WM2003. I've tried it and satisfied with the result. www.mpx-land.com Just follow the instruction.

  • have it for two weeks,didn't crash so far ,works fine,very satisfied .No camera-who cares ,that's what digitals are for ,no bluetooth-small minus.Advice:don't use internal memory ,buy sd card (128Mb min)& keep memory free ,than you will be happy with this phone. 1 BIG MINUS -battery last up to 1-2 days. BUY IT!

  • Hey Sweeeet! got my phone working again! For all those whose phone gets stuck after a master reset, simply connect it to your computer. It will ask you if you want to start a partnership, press yes. for some reason it will work again! Also, if you are experiencing short battery life, leave you phone on until it shuts down automatically. Recharge and repeat this cycle a couple of times.

  • Hi people! I just did a "master reset" on my MPx200, nad now when i try to start it, it won't boot past the HelloMoto screen. Also, I would like to ask whether ot not it is worth upgrading to WM2003, since i have read mixed opinions... I love the phone and i hope I haven't messed it up:(...

  • i need to gat a program for word docs and where should i look for it?

  • Bought it Sep 04. It is a piece of c##p! The battery lasts up to 23 hrs with NO calls. No-one cal tell me how to use the SD card storage. Lst week the phone had a brain haemorage and lost all data and all functions except the ability to make some calls and receive some calls. Interested to see what the service shop has to say about it!! Would be a great phone - if it worked.

  • I recently bought this phone it's great , it plays DivX movies , Mp3 , ringtones can be wav and midi files. Optional: you can buy camera which is inserted in sd/mmc slot... Lots of free software can be found on www.airfagev.com

  • Hi, I need some software for my phone. where can i find software for mpx200 on the net? I'm intrested in mp3 player and avi. i have 2002 soft on it and i need a upgrade.how can i do this,please help!

  • The streo headset is not included with the phone and an english manual u can find at motorola.com or just google-it :)))

  • Please make me understand! Why would u like to upgrade your soft on WM03? And if u already did it, and u found out that u have no e-mail or MMS, would u like to go back to the previous WM02? Is it WM03 better than WM02? Is just a question and if u know the answers...please share it!

  • I would like to ask wether someone knows were I can download an mms and email program for my mpx 200. The phone i upgraded to smartphone 2003 and I am happy with it but it has also some draw backs. Short battery life: 2 days No Bluetooth No Camera Well jus try the phone if u r curious!

  • hey guys just wanna ask one thing.....is the streo headset included with the phone and wat about the usb cable is it?? and is there any kind headset included or none? plz reply help wud be appreciated

  • It's quite amasing this phone. Is not the best phone ever made but it is a great choice if you have no interest for using a BuiltIn camera phone. So, buy yourself a 1Gb SD/MMC and put this phone to work! It is not going to dissapoint you! Try as much as you can to leave at least 2Mb free memory on the IPSIM! In this case you will avoid any program crush! Find a proper Mp3 player and a mpeg/avi player, an original stereo headset and u will find the best compagnion in this phone! Indeed,unfortunately, the accumulator is not going to help you as much as you wanted to so...Buy a spare one! :)))

  • Thank you man for that info!!!

  • To Ryan: the rigntones must be .wav or .mid files, but you can convert from .mp3 to .wav easily. With the usb cable you can transfer any data to the mobile through ActiveSync that comes whith the phone in a CD.

  • So with this phone (mpx200) you can or can NOT put .mp3 ringtones on it? The USB cable that comes with it can transfer the ringtones through it and you don't need any additional software, right??? Someone, please respond

  • Hi, i got a question is this phone has wap browser only or html internet browser too? Either for windows mobile 2002 or 2003.

  • Just purchased this h/p.It's o.k for me.The attachable camera is a bit dissappointing so if u intend to buy the accessory better think again.Might as well if u use infrared & transfer photos & ringtones from other h/p.I used Nokia 6600 to transfer & Its can accept the pics & ringtones without any problem.But make sure u have MMC card for the reserved memory space.Thanks.

  • Don't miss this great phone... worth every penny.. if u don't need BT , radio , and camera ... this is best of best

  • hello all, i find this phone in a shop in france (i 'm french of course) for about 300E. do you think that i can buy it blindly? i had some smartphone (like spv e200, P800 (Sony)and a motorola accompli 008 bought in september, and i love it. i didn't know moto before it, and i can say that i was happy surprised in using this phone.congratulation moto. i think that the mpx200 has a great design, all i need,and like i want a clamshell smartphone, i think it' s the ONE i need. thanks for ur critics which can help me to take my decision. good bye, and sorry i'm going to forget, happy new year.

  • can i know does this phone has a camera or video recorder ? if yes what is the resolution ?please reply to my mail box thanks..

  • @System Error There might be differences concerning the software but I do not think that there are any differences concerning the hardware because the costs for different production lines would simply be too high. If there are differences concerning technical specs I assume that they are all either software -and/or pin-wise. see engine-manufacturer (mercedes benz, volkswagen andsoon) with their engine-management-software and/or cpu manufacturers (AMD Duron/Athlon) with cutted pins in order to change specs

  • But I have to admit that once you have the phone at your ear you can experience the knowledge and experience Moto has with clamshell phones. It just seems to fit perfectly. This is something I miss with other manufacturers.

  • I can tell you some users are enthusiastic... I use this phone now for some time (approx 5 month). Even as there are some features I wouldn't like to miss anymore there are also some disturbing issues. I will only list the disturbing ones: - no mp3/wma ringtone with official OS - really slow performance with official OS - bad playback quality with original windows media player, but using pocketmusic with enhancements you will get pauses in playback often (once again) with official OS - often freezing OS So as you can see all the problems occur with the official OS (that is Windows Mobile 2002). Contrary if you use Windows Mobile 2003 you will get rid of these issues but will have: - no guarantee - battery lifetime issues, there is some kind of software memory effect - no MMS support. I blame Motorola for leaving its customers alone in favor for the MPX220 which as I hear is also buggy. So I suspect that neither the QA-Team is very small or not very capable. Would you like to buy a phone from such a company. I am not going to buy any Moto's anymore, so this one is my fifth and last Moto.

  • My dream phone!! 10 out of 10.

  • It`s great phone,Windows for Smartphone is cool,but battery life isn`t enough...only 2 days.But the price here is very good...about 230 USD. And about your problems guys...sorry but your providers sell fake phones,especially AT&T...there are lots of those phones made for them and other companies that are with buggy soft and hardware;that`s why there are so many fucking problems. Buy phones only from certified dealer,not from the mobile operator.They are more expensive but the quality of these phones is 10 times better. Best regards,System Error Bulgaria

  • It`s the best phone which I ever have seen!!!Only defect of it is its sluggishness.

  • Battery Life depends on the Windows you run on this baby. If you "upgraded" to Win 2003 which is by the way not released from Moto you might get the battery life issue. Like any other modern handset it will only work correctly with the latest SIM cards, but this is the issue of your provider as they are informed about this. Unfortunately it is not possible to set mp3's as a ringtone but with the unofficial Win 2003 release (yeah, the one with the battery life issue) you will be able to have wma ringtones.

  • (Network Puk) This phone only accepts SIMs from specific network, and it has been blocked. Contact your customer sevice center for the unblock code. Unblock code: Password: Re-type Password: This is the result that i received please how can i get the unblock code this is the IMei:352206 00 107134 6 And the S/N is M100106545 And the MSN: D121DY25ND wHAT DO YOU THINK I CAN DO ABOUT. MADE IN TAIWAN

  • sorry in this phone is possible use the mp3 like ringtones? thanks at all :D

  • This phone sucks I have gone through two of them and the manufacturer keeps on sending me used ones which suck they won't admit their is something wrong with the phone and I spent at least an hour talking to them seeing if my sims card was working. If were up to me I would never get another motorola again and would switch to another plan. Don't get this phone if yopu do get a new one and don't expect it to work over a month.

  • battery last only for not more than 6 hrs

  • this phone is �80 at carphone wharehouse

  • this phone is absolutely fantastic!i like him very very much and I will buy him as soon as he come to our shops

  • I think it's a good cell phone.But i heard that motorola has a lot of problem especially software problem & lifetime problem. It have a bad lifetime.

  • no matter how many features there is on motorola phones their phones always crash and lots of software problems i would never buy from them again the mpx220 was a very bad move and looks like the mpx200 is worse so it must be bad there are plenty of other phones out there with the same or just as many features but their service ain't shit like motorola.

  • Is there a way to upgrade the OS to the 2003 version?

  • Donna Lea (2004-9-16), I am glad to read your note, as you are not the only one facing difficulties with the handset. I sent my MPX200 at least 5 times for repair/check, as I constantly received an error message that says "The SIM card is invalid or cannot be detected. Please verify if it is inserted properly." The Moto staff were very kind and they gave me a new handset on 2 occasions, after trying to do the software upgrade and reflow the SIM holder. However, the problem still persists. The Moto staff eventually told me that they suspect there could be some compatibility problem between the MPX200 and the 64K SIM card. It's a serious problem, and I have requested for a full refund of my $$. I should be receiving my cheque in 1 week's time.

  • is a nice phone , but if I erase from mistake something from the windows? what shoul I do? You have tu put that windows online and we have to download for my phone and repair my phone

  • motorola mp*200 is good for stock purpose i like the way my costomer is demanded 4 it i we like to pay 4 it

  • I have sent my phone of 3 times to be fixed from an unrecoverable crash ... motorola still haven't acknowldeged it is a faulty handset. I am very upset with the phone and the service .. I am afraid I will never buy motorola again, and anyone else should do so at their own peril.

  • Worst investment I made. Talk time pathetic. And there nothing major to write home about. So after two weeks of use.. its back in the box collecting dust

  • Can i slap a wireless SDIO card inside and expect to be able to surf WiFi?

  • you got lots of beautiful unit, put some market in the philippines, we need a service center the most priority here,affordable price

  • where can ı get the unblock code ın the ınternet?

  • This is a great phone for the business-oriented professional. Sure, there is no camera, but when you think about it, how many business professionals do you know that use the camera function on a cell phone for work? The phone is very sturdy, and the display is bright and clear. Battery life is so-so, and there is no bluetooth. So, if you get this, make sure you have a charger in your car. However, you be hard pressed to find a better phone that offers the ease of connectivity with other windows-based devices and has a sd card slot for data storage and expanded memory. This is the only smartphone in the availiable in the USA that has both the compact clamshell design and a sd card memory slot. Bottom line: If you can live without a crappy little cell phone camera (like most people can), no bluetooth connectivity, and average battery life, then this phone is for you. The features and ease of use of this phone(especially when checking your email on your company's exchange server on the go) far outweigh any limitations.

  • this fone have no cam tat damn suk! how can beeeeee! omg ! buying this fone just like throw alway ur money! wasted go n check it out fri on other fone is much better than this fone! like v1000 or other brand fone!

  • o yeah, there is a great freeware though. download theme generator from microsoft's website. absolutely brilliant when it comes to personalising your phone. truly unique.

  • Hi , I live in New York , Is this phone available in my area?

  • I just need to know where can I buy this phone in U.S.A. Thanks!!

  • I am in the process of doing a research paper on the MPx200 and thought that some of the information I have found would be useful. The standby time is, I believe 100 hours and the talk time is 4 hours. It is good for about 2 days use, before needing to charge. The phone will not be available until October in England and possibly not until the first quarter in America. I am not sure if all of my information is accurate, but I know what I have read.

  • 2004 february comes V710/720, where is Smartphone edition 2003, bluetooth, integrated camera and different design!!!I cant wait it!

  • Time craching LOL It is Windows LOL

  • miro 2002 what a shame

  • no camera thats what

  • The greatest thing that Motorola have done is shaking their hand with Microsoft! No more poor and death software on motorola, You got windows on your hand! and the external memory card slot for storing your entertaining stuff! what else can we respect?
