This phone isnt worth the price. Simple. I currently own the phone and will now be selling it. The camera doesnt deserve to be called a megapixel camera. The phone is slow at times. The flash is completely pointless because it doesnt work. If you use the phone actively the battery dies in a day. The bluetooth sucks. Night mode on the camera works better in the day. My 6230 takes better pics. It has shut off randomly before. I could go on and on. I wouldn't buy. Motorola could have done much better.

Does anyone has problem connecting with the USB cable? Mind didn't work at home. So I brought it back to the shop, finally got it working with a 3rd USB cable, but looks like I got a loose connection on the phone. Anyone has experience with the USB, share with me plz! Thanks in advance!

i have both...v878 is a solid phone. Not much feature, but very solid. Light and small. Mpx220 is a bit to get use to. Not a perfect phone but lots a features, lots of work needed.

Still i can not decide to buy a cellphone.
i thought of mpx220 but it does not record talkings,no radio and charge problem.I thought of neonode N1m. but it is not sold in Turkey.I liked 7710 but it is said to be so slow. This phone seems to me good.
I want a phone to have my outlook mails and to run a telnet screen. please suggest me a phone that includes bluetooth,mmc card,radio,outlook synch,telnet can be installable, mp3 player and long charge also. Camera is not a must.
I know i want impossible but i neew your suggestions.
Thanks all.

I've had my MPX220 for three months and my opinion has improved with experience to now I am failry pleased. The speedial feature will eliminate much of the multiple keying that some have complained about. I find that it syncs perfectly with my version of Outlook.

Still having some reception problems, but will check with Cingular about that.

Don't expect the bluetooth to work very well. It does not work correctly with ActiveSync, it cannot be trained with the 98500H car kit (no matter what Motorola tells you)--it will be too late if you spend $150 to install it. Support from Motorola is pretty sad. I spent 20 hours on the phone to no avail. Some said it would "certainly" work--a few said no. I replaced the phone with identical results. There is something wrong with the bluetooth stack.

Need help! Im getting a new phone and theres thousands and thousand of cool ones. But I have narrowed it down to the Motorola a668, the Motorola MPx220 or the Motorola 878. Can Anyone help me make my decision? Please?!

UPDATE on reception -- I posted a comment on a reception about 4 messages down. The reception problem is FIXED. I went to Cingular, they took out my SIM card and flashed it. Now reception is very good even in elevators and indoors, on par with my other Nokia phone. Looks like the reception issue is a Cingular one and not Motorola. Try it and see if you have similar results.

I'm having my 4th replacement being mailed to me in the 4 mos I've had it. MMS was screwed up, v-mail system locked up, and now call history won't work/update. Had to reboot the phone at least 10 times already. Camera quality is terrible - you have to take pics in bright light to see anything - even using the flash. Also the blue keypad light stays on only 3 seconds & can't adjust that (per Moto), so you dial in the dark blindly. The speakerphone hangsup if you close it to use it and Motorola says it's made that way. Speaker quality is terrible and distorts if over 40% volume level. I can't be any more dissatisfied with this phone. I wish I could get rid of it.

My phone is about 2 wks old. I got fooled by all the features, good looks...etc. The reception sucks and so does the speakerphone. My 3 year old Nokia 3100 basic candyphone (still active with Cingular) has great reception and a healthier speakerphone. Will be visiting Cingular this afternoon to see what they can do with the MPX220.

Hopefully Motorola will come out with a flash download to fix this problem. If they can at least fix the reception problem it would make this phone a GREAT phone.

Next time I will select a phone first based on RECEPTION ....not on looks/features. After all what good is a mobile phone if reception is spotty, and keeps cutting in and out????

This phone is really good. I can use internet through the phone and even see some live videos online. The music volume is loud and the operating system works very well. For those mpx220 users,just adjust your volume to the maximum and you can hear your songs very clearly.

Love hate thing with this phone. Had the first one replaced due to download problems, then Internet connection problems, then the phone would not even turn on. Now on the second one. Will see how it goes for the next week or two. If not any better, will return it and go with some other manufacturer. For what these cost,and the features it provides, someone at Motorola and someone else at Microsoft REALLY need to re-examine this product. I cannot believe quality control would let this thing out with so many bugs. The ActiveSync sucks by the way.

For those who has volume problem, I have an suggestion to give. Try removing the clear plastic protection in front that covers the speaker (I know a lot of people don't like to remove it, so as myself). The sound is clear enough for me since. I just tried it yesterday. Hopefully it helps & plz post your result. :)

Got this phone from HK around 1 month ago. I must say, this phone is very handy to have for someone like me, despite not being a businessman. Ok, I'm a engineering student that has always grown up with computers, but this phone isn't really all that hard to use - a mobile very familiar to windows users and ActiveSync is smoother than any other GSM-PC connectivity

Unlike the V3 (the only motorola comparable to this phone), this cheaper alternative gives me the ease of wacking mp3s, uni timetables, assignments, lecture slides as fast as usbflash; updating my day's plan on outlook, running out the door organised; beaming solutions to my friends with infra-red; and (when i get it) i can use a bluetooth keyboard to type up notes in class without carrying around a laptop!

Unfortunately for Australian techies born with the silver spoon, mpx220 is not avaliable in town. I guess that's why I see a few of thee in lectures leaving the V3 on the table to show off bling. It might be 15g lighter, but that 15g seperates an eye-candy from a truely practical moto product.
