    Hey hows everyone doing? i currently study in america but was born in hong kong. came back to the homeland for vacation and also got my hands on the ming. asides all that, i must say that i have not had anyproblems with battery life(can get by a day or 2 without losing any amount of battery while using it as my primary phone). i have also figured out a way to get my mp3 ringtones as loud as i want. Only thing im dissapointed about the phone is that it has no developed third party software...YET. i had found no problem opening the plastic cover whatsoever. only problem i had was when i got it needed to take away layers of clear plastic protection film-__- but other then that i would reccomend this phone.

    Since the phone is being sold exclusively in HK(mybe china?)i feel i need to warn about some of you that decide to buy the phone either from internet or from HK. first off, as some of you may or may not know, in hong kong, it is really easy to buy a phone, unlike in america where you need to sign a contract which is complete bull****. unfortuneately if you are caucasian or any other race that doesnt understand cantonese, you are normally in danger of buying phones in hong kong. In hong kong there are 2 types of phones you can get, Shui foh(imported from china mainly, without warranty and might contain certain defects)and Hong foh(With warranty, tested and tested to make sure no defects). Shui foh can also be called gray area phones or phones without a waranty and is normally cheaper by the Hong foh by a couple hundred Hong kong dollars. Unfortunately if you stumble across hong kong without friend to help you buy phones, you may buy the phone without realising its a Shui Foh. A while back i had a SE K700i(shui foh) it had major defects such as phone turns on and off by itself, ringtone doesnt work etc etc. until myfriend showed me his SE k700i (hong foh) first picking up the phone i realised the differenced of both phones, material, weight and colour. After that incident i have always stuck with hong foh mobile phones which can be purchased in major hong kong telecommunication stores i.e. 3, sunday, one 2 free, csl and so on. If u decide to buy it on the internet(which i dont recommend) then good luck cuz you have no idea which phone is it that your buying. People may get the shui foh in cheap bundles and sell it for more profit, others maybe genuine and ensure they deliver the best. so make sure before you buy it the phone comes with a warranty.

    hopefully my little opinion will help people about buying phones that are exclusive in different asian countries(might not only be in hong kong) if it didnt help at all, just ignore it. Finally if your reason to buy a shui foh is cuz it saves you money, go ahead all im gonna say is, It's a Gamble, a friend of mine had a shui foh which he claims works extremely well so who knows.

    best regards

    kyt-

        i got my white a1200 last month in hong kong. the touch screen really attracts attention when u use it :D i've used many phones b4 including nokia, sony ericsson and motorola. e398 is only good for the mp3, n70 bulky but i love the video quality etc.

        + this phone works like a pc, smooth transfer of files from folder 2 folder, picture magnifies when screen is touched and cool radio, 512mb memory card.

        - lousy video shots, soft ringing volume when use mp3 as ringtone, speaker at the back so sound muffled when in a casing or pocket, when switched to speaker phone line goes bad.

        get this phone if u like something new and dont mind not having a keypad (i miss SMS-ing while driving) LOL!

            I'm not a big fan of Motorola Phones

            (*cough* the razor *cough*)

            but the Ming has changed my views on it all together.

            I'll agree it can be a little tricky to use but if you dont have the basic knowledge of phones and pda's then dont buy this phone!

            This is the best Motorola phone I have ever seen!! I cant wait until it comes in the mail!

                  that phone is only "good" at the out look. the softwave is very very NOT user-friendly. you will get mad after you use it. not recommand to buy it now.

                                Looks fantastic, the original beam me up Scotty device!! I would like one. How can I get one? Only complaints is its thickness and does the flipper scratch easily?. The V3 is still the best phone on the market for this feature alone.

                                        I want to buy it, but I have a question: Can you syncronize the contacts and calendar with the Microsoft Outlook between the A1200 and the PC. Thks
