For the past 2 years I obsessed about getting this phone but up until recently the prices haven't dropped. So i finally purchased the phone! Needless to say, I wish I picked another phone to obsess over. the phone is very appealing on the out and inside and the display is very appealing as well, but the 'goodies' stop there. Horrible sound quality coupled with low max volume is a big deal to me (Although the stereo headset was quite clear and loud with WMP10 [Asian ROM]) Like all Microsoft products, to do something as simple as setting a custom ring tone you have to go through 10 somewhat unnecessary tasks (if you can even hear it ring, yes, its that bad on max volume) The camera no longer works on mine and when it did, less-than VGA images were the result of a 1.23MP camera, the flash feature is a joke. My Data/Charger port is flaky, working only when it decides to (Acclaimed to poor build quality) My screen got really glitchy to, started scrambling up and only worked when you pushed on the screen a certain way. GPRS packet data? slower than dial-up on a full-size computer make internet browsing painful. I do however like the keypad setup and the vibration feature (The most powerful vibration I've ever seen in a phone, really good for getting your attention. Over all, the phone isn't worth looking at unless someone gives it to you or you pick it up for the price of a candy bar. I'll stick with my old Nokia 3220 over this pile anyday.

I loved this phone, while it lasted. The design was simple, and at the time was the closest thing I could get to a Japanese style phone. Eventually the connections started to fail and the phone was pretty much useless. After two bad experiences with Motorola's poor build, I'll never buy one again.

I bought a Motorola MPx220,in India in June 2007, from SBI card offer. Within 2 wks the set developed some snag and the display disappeared. On contacting Motorola, they expressed inability to help, and State Bank Of India refused to help, as this model is not launched in India but is being sold officially. I warn you all,BEWARE OF THEDUEL POLICIES. IF YOU BUY IT YOU"VE HAD IT!!!

Have had this phone for 2 years, best phone I have ever owned. My trusty old mpx was getting a little beat up, so I went phone shopping. After looking at what ATT and T-Mo had to offer, I didn't find a phone I liked better. The Tmo-wing was nice, but a little bulky. The 3125 is similar, but alot more pricy.
I just ordered a new mpx off ebay at a great price and didn't have to commit to a new contract.
Too bad there isn't a WM5 ROM available, with the 1.49 ROM, WM 03 works perfectly. There is such a wide range of software available for this phone, even a few years after it was introduced you be hard pressed to find a clam smart phone that does it better than the mpx.
I strongly suggest "Core Video Player", as it will play almost any video thown at it along with a wide range of audio formats. Other great software include "Google Maps", "Tone Setter", "CommMan", "AlarmSet", "1-Calc Lite", and the list goes on... If your into games try "6th Gear", "Kevtris", "SmarTris", "Wolfstien 3d", "Snake", "SPInvader", "SPVMan", "ChessGenius", "Smoresoft Sudoku" and many more ( all free ).
Chat using AIM, Yahoo, MSN.. plus even push mail if you want to do things ala blackberry. With all the free software available for this phone, it has become my all time favorite. If only they re-release this phone with a 2+ MP camera, it would be the perfect phone. If you can find it for under $80USD new like I did, there is not a phone anywhere that packs more bang for the buck...

install xbar3, great task switch application. You won't even know it's there. You can put some shortcuts in it, switch applications, terminate apps, select text, copy, paste...
It helped me a lot. I used to open 4-5 apps, so battery and memory suffered.

This is like the best phone i have eva used. used it up till a couple days ago. if u r quite careless and rugged like me i advice u get it.
me n dis fone have been thru a lot, countless falls(real bad) and d oda day, believe dis or not, i was up on the 4th floor of a building n d phone fell(flip open) all d way down to d pavement. the screen cracked, and the microphone seems to be out but, i can still listen to music make calls wif a headset n do everything i always did.
dis is a great durable fone i advice u get it dat is if u aint lookin for a good picture taker, cuz truly even thou this is one of the best fones around d camera sucks real bad.

to upgrade to the latest version of rom you need motorola upgrade wizard (1.8.5 is the latest version), rom you want to upgrade to (difficult to find, it took me 3 days to find 3.53 asian), usb cable. You have plenty of how-to's on the net, use google or other search engine.

"does it snap when it opens/closes"
yeah it does, very loudly. But I don't mind. The mechanism is very sturdy and reliable
