Hardware is good (tough it lacks Wifi, GPS and 3G), but OS is really really bad.

I don't think this one is real, but even if it is I definately won't buy another Linux phone.]]>Dec 13th 2007 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 13th 2007 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/
And it doesn't have an SDK, so even who wants to develop stuff have to suffer a lot.

And even tho it should be open source, Motorola has never distributed the original source, so we have to stand some really annoying "features", such as confirmation messages for everything you try to do in Java apps, without being able to change anything.]]>Dec 13th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 13th 2007 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/]]>Dec 13th 2007 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 13th 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 14th 2007 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 13th 2007 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 13th 2007 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/
I'd get one if I didn't have my eyes set on another 3G phone already. ]]>Dec 14th 2007 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/Dec 16th 2007 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/motorolas-a1600-ming-2-surfaces/
The MotoMing2 shown definitely looks like a photo hack but it ain't too shabby. I'm definitely looking forward to 3G or 3.5G, WiFi, GPS, improved FM Radio, live streaming TV reception, etc. Oh and a slightly bigger on-screen keyboard wouldn't hurt.

P.S. Ming is Chinese for "bright". Bright as in color or bright as in intelligence.]]>Dec 19th 2007 12:55AM
