Motorola MOTOMING A1200 Smartphone

Pros: stability of Linux, excellent touch-screen, EDGE, big address book, good battery, macro mode
Cons: moderate video quality, no 3G/HSDPA, restrictions to free install of new software, easily soiled surface

Motorola A1200e (MING) purchased after long thorough compares and search. Black soft-touch plastic and metal design, ergonomic body, lightweight. 2.4" touch screen with QVGA resolution and vivid colors. MING has stylus, but screen optimized for finger ...

Pros: Good battery life; Good looks; reliable
Cons: bulky

It a good looking phone to say the least. The flip cover has a unique finish and adds to the attraction.
The touch screen is very sensitive and I have faced no problems in its use till now. If you are not used to touch screens then it will take some practice and may even find it frustrating. But once you get the hang of it its a smooth ride.
The 3G version is not available in India and that is a hold up ( for that matter no Moto 3G device is yet available in India)
The blue tooth is another concern as is with all moto models. The joy stick and the 2 buttons provided are also quite stiff.
Although I haven't used all the features yet it has document reader and hand writing recognition built in.

If looks are important for ur phone... Buy it!

Pros: Beautiful and Functional design Very good call quality Unlocked Strong development community Links to Outlook\Exchange
Cons: Not for the computer beginner

In researching alternatives to the iphone and other mediocre US market smart phones, I found the Ming.

Its remarkable style, strong development community and uniqueness struck me. I purchase mine on eBay along with a replacement shell kit, extra stylus and a 2gb SanDisk TransRAM. Since there is currently no support for the Ming in the US, I expected to handle any needed repairs myself.

It arrived and immediately vaulted to my all time favorite electronic device (right past my beloved old and retired Apple Newton). The firmware it arrived with was good but some research at motorolafans.com yielded a better understanding of the Ming’s potential. Flashing the phone with a newer and modified/customized firmware has made this phone nearly perfect for me. I no loner carry a pda. Meeting notes, mobile websurfing, multi-email accounts, calendar notification and updating, movie watching or mp3 listening, photo or video taking, etc are all well handled by the Ming. There too many freely shared cool apps available to list and more every day.

It also makes calls easily with great clarity and cool interface.
