MSMobiles has a German SmartPhone 2003 ROM and Multi-Language Update (including American) for the MPx-200. As much as I want SP2003, I’m not brave enough to try it until someone posts instructions for extracting the original SP2002 ROM.
On a not-exactly-related note, I am quite disappointed that upcoming SmartPhones from Motorola will not be using a […]

SmartPhone 2003 for MPx-200
09Jul04SmartPhone 2003 for MPx-200?
22Mar04msmobiles.com has pictures of an AT&T MPx-200 running SmartPhone 2003.
SmartPhone Follow-up
08Mar04My first month with the MPx-200 was not as satisfying as the first 24 hours, entirely due to battery life. While that first day was great, subsequent days had the phone near-death after 12 hours standby and 1 hour of use. It turns out that on the second day I installed the Picture Caller ID […]
24 Hours of SmartPhone
16Dec03For the moment I am replacing my Nokia 3650 with the Motorola MPx200. In theory the MPx200 is a loser of a device that was obsolete before it was submitted for FCC aproval: It’s running last year’s SmartPhone OS with no .NET Compact Framework, no built-in camera, and no Bluetooth. On paper I don’t want […]

I have a stand-alone version of VB.NET 2002, not VS.NET 2002, so I’ve been left out in the cold when it […]
Pocket PC Phone Deal
15Aug03Amazon also has a deal going on the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone, bringing it down to $299.99 after $100 rebate.
What Passes for Innovation
24Jul03Brighthand and Pocket PC Thoughts have linked to a month-old Datamonitor article about Microsoft loosening the Pocket PC hardware requirements. According to Datamonitor, Pocket PC 2003 devices may have built-in keyboards and portrait QVGA screens as small as 2.8 inches.
At this stage that hardly qualifies as innovative.
Until recently Microsoft had done an excellent job of […]
PPCW Tanager
01Jun03Arne Hess is selling Tanager SmartPhones to PPCW readers for $550, completely unlocked, but he’s managed to sell out his first batch in under a week. DigiTimes put Arne’s announcement on equal footing with GSM carriers, which is pretty funny.
As much as I want one, I’m still going to wait because it’s not clear if […]
