    Good Points: MSN messanger, internet.


    Bad Points: Bad battery, reset itself, not clear user guide.


    General comments: Have had the Motorola MPx200 for more than a year from upgrade (2004).
    Always Motorola mobile disappoints me but I cannot help myself buying it as it has a strap hole...

    Battery doesn't last more than a day, not easy to use internet/MSN messanger (somehow it always loses the connection after 1 month of internet use), resets itself frequently. I guess it's high time to upgrade to another maker's phone.

    I had this phone for 3 weeks, and I found it to be one of the worst phones I have had, although I think mine was faulty.

    The battery life was 12 hours on standby. I took it back to Orange, who would not give me a new one, or a refund.

    I had it "repaired", and when I got it back 6 weeks later, I still had the same problems, so I had to write to Orange, and I got a P800, which is a much much better phone.

    Also, the signal was really bad. Whereas, other phones had average reception, the M ...

    I was sent a Motorola MPx200 as an upgrade from Orange. This phone is very clever - a bit too clever for its own good. The battery can't cope & drains within a day & it has a tendency to freeze if you change something such as the time zone. Pressing the off switch will not help, you need to pull the battery out which can't be good. I have had many friends say that they have sent me messages but because the phone has frozen whilst on standby, almost "gone to sleep" without my knowledge - the phon ...

    In general the Motorola MPx200 has served me well for last 12 months albeit I have had a few frustrating occasions with it locking up. It looks the part and gives the impression of a robust phone. Unfortunately it has a poor design in that the sim card locating tab is probe to snapping off. Twice it has happened to me, your sim card begins to lift away from contact and gives allsorts of problems. Orange dealers knew exactly what the fault was when I reported it giving the impression it is a know ...

    Having owned this phone for a week, I can say that it's perfomance is generally good, with many features in it. I paritcularly like the windows media player and Windows based architecture.
    A really negative point is its battery life, which is appallingly small. It takes 2 hrs to charge and ONE day to be completely flat. An this without using the phone intensively, just sending sms's and general use, maybe playing the odd MP3. Motorola should address this problem very soon.

    The Motorola MPx200 is a fabalous phone - I see a lot of gripes here from people who have had the phone for 2 days or so - I have had it for a yr & it's the best I have ever owned!
    The screen is a gem, the OS intutive (the calendar & contacts sync with outlook as do the mails - something which is great when I am travelling on work). The games are good - the solitaire addictive.
    Battery - it's a lithium Ion battery - similar to a laptop battery - if you sync the mobile with the cradle like I d ...

    Motorola MPx200: The software synching is slow and very un user friendly, the arrow key function sticks all the time also. It's a really badly designed phone. Battery life is a shocker as well -24 hours.

    I have taken my phone back 4 times already, once it was away for 9 weeks. The battery is not lasting 1 day, even if I do not use it again. Orange customer services being very unhelpful.

    I got my Motorola MPx200 free as I'm on an Orange contract, and I also got a free plug-in camera worth £60. So I guess I have no right to complain about anything. Not that I've found much to complain about.

    It's nice to look at. Real nice. Black with the gloss of a grand piano, it has chrome effect highlights and a gorgeous, full-colour screen. The buttons are fairly easy to get at (with the exception of the power button, though this may be a good thing) and glow blue. The screen is wor ...

    I received the Motorola MPx200 in November 2003 as an upgrade from my trustworthy Nokia 6310i. In short, I wish I hadn't. SmartPhone is a misnomer - writing text messages (the second, if not first, most important function of a mobile phone) is often frustrating, as they keys are far too sensitive, resulting in strange words like "tunneabz" when you were trying to type "today". The address book insists on initally storing names in "Last, First" order (an annoying result of its Outlook-esque birth ...

    Motorola MPx200 - I had this phone for two days. Internet Explorer and MSN mess on a phone. Why? If you live for the net and have panic attacks when not on the net then the phone is great, but if you are normal, it has a lot of information on the phone that you will never use. Putting a name and details takes half a day if you fill in all of the fields avalible. Nice looking phone but completely impractical. Not worth the fuss.

    Wanted this phone as soon as I knew it was coming out. However, on my third handset and awaiting a replacement. Phone has crashed on several occassions, a master reset deletes some of the software which neither my phone service provider or Motorola are willing to re-supply. When working, the phone's display is clear and great quality, battery life is less that 24 hours despite having handsets and batteries replaced. Motorola are completely dis-interested if you contact them resulting in a pr ...

    Got my Motorola MPx200 handset on Orange Pay Monthly. Two days after switching it on for the 1st time it had to be returned. 3 months later the replacement had to be returned, 2 months later the replacement for the replacement had to be returned, each time the handset was returned because it had completely gave up the ghost!

    Great to have a windows environment on my mobile phone. I'm able to play music off the memory chip I purchased. The Motorola MPx200 is easy to sync with Outlook calendar and contacts, no need to enter phone numbers, if they're in your database you're good to go.

    The home button and back button make navigation easy.

    Using the web access is improving yet it's tough to know if you've logged out.

    On paper the Motorola MPx200 is a fantastic phone, in practice it's only useful as a paperweight. The software and build quality are staggeringly poor. My phone has been back to Motorola three times since January (each time in an unusable condition). This handset is unfit for any purpose. You have been warned!

    The Motorola MPx200 is one of the best of the current stock of smartphones, using Microsoft platform smartphone 2002. This allows full intergration with your desktop, laptop, PDA and if set up with microsoft exchange your workplace.
    Keys are easy to use, the large TFT screen is clear and well layed out.

    Handset reliablity has been an issue for me, this brings the ratings for this product right down.
