The Latest MPx News
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
Rich Brome, from Phone Scoop, attended a Motorola conference (MotoSummer 2004) last week in NYC. He gleaned that the MPx is still being finalized as a product.
"The revolutionary dual-flip MPx was also on display. Motorola continues to tweak the keyboard for maximum readability and ergonomics. The photos below show the newest revision, which was manufactured just a couple of weeks ago...The MPx release date has slipped a bit since it was first announced. It's now unlikely (although not impossible) that we'll see it released anytime before the end of the year. The first quarter of 2005 is now the most likely timeframe. Carriers have not yet been finalized, although reportedly interest is high."
2005? :( The biggest problem with being an early connected-device enthusiast is waiting for these devices. What's worse is that carriers will take some time to adopt it. I guess I should buy a different device now and maybe I'll be able to get the MPx in a year from now. :|
