Brighthand: "Brighthand's First Impressions of the Motorola MPx"
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 06:00 PM
"The MPx is the first Windows Mobile Phone Edition device to have the appearance of a phone. Like a lot of smart phones, it has a clamshell shape, with a screen on one side and a keypad on the other. But this is no ordinary smart phone. It has a screen at the full Pocket PC standard resolution, 240 by 320 pixels. And instead of just a keypad, it has a full keyboard. And, even better, thanks to its unique dual-hinge design, it can morph from a smart phone into a wireless handheld.
Here's how it works.

However, if you want to some word processing or view a web page in landscape mode, you press a button on the side of the MPx and it opens in the wireless handheld configuration. Of course, the screen automatically adjusts for whichever way you open the device..."
