Depending on where you look, you'll find mixed opinions on the MPx220. Thankfully, most of the bad opinions come from people who used the earlier versions of the firmware. But with the latest firmware, this phone is fantastic. It has virtually everything you could want in a cell phone. Here are just a few of the great things about it:1. Fast. With a 200mhz processor, this phone can run just about anything. Plays videos and music smoothly, and great at fast forwarding. Rips through java games. Games which took about 25 seconds to load on my v600 now load in 1 or less (yes, its that much faster). The interface itself isn't totally speedy, but thats more of a Windows problem, and its acceptable.2. Design. The problem with smartphones, is they're usually big and probably ugly. The MPx220 looks great. Especially with the chrome finish on the front. The hump for an antenna could be improved, but all around its a nice design. Plus its flip.3. Screen. The screen is quite bright with nice colors, and bigger than most flip phones. It may be smaller than most smartphones, but for those only using normal cell phones, its a step up.4. Windows. Because it runs off of Windows, the environment should seem quite familiar. The big plus, however, is the applications supported such as emulators and various familiar mobilized Windows software.5. miniSD. Firstly, if you're going to be using this phone for music or videos, be sure to purchase a 1GB miniSD card (Sandisk). Works flawlessly. You can listen to your favorite tunes, put on as many games as you like, and even watch a few videos, not to mention limitless pictures.6. Sound Quality. The call quality on this phone is amazing, for me anyway. No matter how little bars I have or where I am, it always seems as though I'm on a landline. No static, and only minor breakup when there are like no bars (yes I still receive calls with no bars). It's definitely better than my v600 and any other cell phone I've used. Sound for music, games, etc. is also more than adequate.There is also much more I could list, little features, that are really nice. One thing of note is the camera. Its ok in good lighting, but in dim lighting, it is pretty horrible. The flash is hardly any use. The video recording is no better.The MPx220 is just the perfect all around phone, and compared to any non-smartphone, it blows most phones out of the water. The RAZR is not even close to comparable. So if you're looking for that future proof replacement, it's a good choice. New phones are coming to market which have some nice features, but they are usually comparable and cost 3-4 times more. So...get it!
