Adorning the left side of the phone is a scrollwheel that can be used to navigate the MPx200’s menus or to adjust the volume while on a call. There’s also an on/off button and an IR port. On the right-hand side, you’ll find the aforementioned SD/MMC expansion slot (sorry, no SDIO support) and a headset jack. No card comes with the phone, but you’ll probably want to purchase one with at least 128MB of memory.

As is standard on the MS Smartphone platform, the MPx200 has a 176×220 resolution display. The unit supports 65k colors and is of the much preferred TFT variety. It is both large and easy to view, better than the displays I saw on the first SPV and the Compal Avenger reference design. The external sub-display is a simple monochrome type, something I much prefer due to their being both easier to read without a backlight and wasting less battery energy. There are multiple styles of faces for the external LCD, including a digital clock and an analog clock with a calendar, which is quite nice. You’ve perhaps heard some rumblings that the sub-display is incapable of showing caller ID names, but this is not accurate. The display can and does show the name of contacts that call you, but it does seem to be a bit slow in doing so at times - perhaps being related to the total number of contacts and numbers in the device. I don’t know for sure.

Motorola have certainly done something different with the looks of the MPx200, and everyone we showed it to expressed the view that it is not only very good looking but also exceedingly well built. The clamshell handset is finished in glossy black plastic, with other portions in dark grey - nice, but difficult to keep clean. The front of the unit features an external screen surrounded by metallic blue and chromed highlights. Overall, the MPx200 strikes us as a high-quality item.

Make no mistake that the A1200 would stand out in any smartphone crowd, mostly because of its diminutive size. At 3.77 inches by 2.94 inches by 0.85 inch, it’s much smaller than the Palm Centro or the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, and at 3.63 ounces it won’t weigh you down. What’s more, it fits comfortably in the hand and the rounded edges give it a streamlined appearance. We like the red color scheme on our review model, but it comes in a more minimalist silver hue as well.

The Motorola logo in the centre of the transparent screen cover also acted as the earpiece speaker when the clamshell is fielding a call while flipped open. If you look closely, you can see a thin strip of conducting material running around the perimeter of the transparent screen cover and connecting to this earpiece that we just mentioned. However, the beauty was marred by the little pieces of gray rubber that were put there to protect the USB and headset ports from dust. This is similar to what Samsung likes to do with its phones, that is to place little rubber protectors over the ports of the handset. Those little rubber things spoil what is otherwise an extremely classy exterior of silver and black.

This handset has incredible reach to almost any corner of the globe. You can travel from the US to Europe to China yet never lose touch with colleagues, friends, or family. Think of it as ‘extreme global communications. The new mobile is packaged in a stylish clamshell design with an integrated MP3 player, removable Trans-Flash memory, large 2.2-inch brilliant color display speaker-independent speech recognition, compelling gaming experience, and 1.2 megapixel integrated camera to guarantee that your free time is as exhilarating, entertaining, and easy whether you’re home or on the other end of the globe.

In general the physical build of the A840 is good. The curves of the handset are rather pleasant to look at and the construction of the phone feels very solid and well put together. The buttons on the side of the chassis are a little difficult to push but this is a good design feature as they are less likely to be pushed by accident while the phone is travelling in your pocket.

Far better looking than the previous models, the E680i appears both smaller and sleeker than its predecessor - a result of the visual illusion as the difference in size is marginal. There are however several other quite tangible differences, coincidentally leaving a larger area of the screen exposed; overall improved build quality and ergonomics; and some weight loss.Weighing in at 133 grams and measuring 53 x 109 x 20 mm, it’s compact ad powerful for its size.A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent Motorola models.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.

Audio quality on the E680i was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery’s theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.

The E680i packs all the standard PIM functions you will find in most PDA-phones, from a calendar organizer to voice recording to an email client, thus making it a fairly decent mobile office tool. With GPRS Class 10, WAP 2.0, an internal modem, Bluetooth and USB functionality, you can easily stay connected anytime, anywhere. The infrared port, which is fast becoming obsolete, has been removed. As with the E680, it can also function as a portable storage device.
