Internet
 The
Motorola MPx220 supports WAP 2.0 with GPRS Class 10. Featuring Microsoft's
Pocket Internet Explorer, the MPx220 allows users to go beyond conventional
phone surfing by supporting HTML; giving consumers the ability to browse,
shop, or trade online.
With added security functions, the MPx220 helps protect online shopping
and corporate data by supporting SSL, WTLS and PPTP.
Storage
Containing 64 MB of flash memory, approximately 32 MB of free space is
available on the MPx220's internal memory, while 23 MB of RAM ensure programs
will load quickly. Should users require more memory, the MPx220 supports
miniSD cards expandable up to 512 MB through a built-in card slot located
on the side.
Connectivity
Featuring IrDA and Bluetooth, the MPx220 can synchronize with devices
wirelessly. Although Bluetooth is restricted to 10 meters, the limited range
prevents interference between its peripheral devices and those belonging
to other people nearby.
The MPx220 also includes Microsoft ActiveSync, allowing users to synchronize
their information by connecting to a PC or server via the supplied USB connection
or over the air. Once connected, ActiveSync will automatically synchronize
the MPx220 with Outlook Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox with the attached
desktop PC. And if one isn't close by, management can be done through Windows
Mobile's over-the-air synchronization to keep users up-to-date while on
the go.
Conclusion
 Motorola
has improved the MPx220 over the MPx200, providing quad-band technology,
improving battery life, adding more internal memory, and upgrading many
software features with the addition of Windows Mobile 2003 SE. And with
the chrome finish and sleek shape and size, though slightly larger, the
overall design improves aesthetic appeal as well.
The MPx220's fast 200-MHz OMAP 1611 processor ensures fast loading programs
and multitasking capabilities for maximum productivity. And the suite of
applications available combined with the J2ME platforms give consumers access
to a wide variety of productivity tools and games.
However the quality of the camera is lacking. Although better than most,
the 1-megapixel camera fell short compared to similar cameras on other models;
having color accuracy problems and haloing along the edges. Another issue
regarded the ergonomics and the usability of the oversized keypad.
Still, the large color screen and multimedia capabilities ensure the
MPx220 will be a hit with a broad segment of consumers. Being an all-in-one
package, the Motorola MPx220 is worth considering from the business user
and road warrior, to the tech savvy at heart.
