GPS doesn't seem to interesting to me since I would probably have to use some poor GPS software.
And no 3G?
Wasted potential indeed, since the clear flip screen is probably the coolest feature I've ever seen on a phone.]]>Sep 29th 2008 12:13PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Sep 29th 2008 12:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Sep 29th 2008 12:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/One feature that is overlooked on some units is the ability to use handwriting recognition if you don't like tapping on the soft keyboard.]]>Sep 29th 2008 12:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/
@Tacoshell, I believe the Ming does support handwriting recognition. ]]>Sep 29th 2008 1:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Sep 29th 2008 4:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/
next phone will be a samsung omnia if all goes well :)]]>Sep 29th 2008 6:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Sep 29th 2008 7:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Sep 29th 2008 10:01PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/So if a1600 is simply a1200 with trendy flush touchscreen, it's already solid. (Oh and I almost forgot, price for a1200 seemed very reasonable for what a nice device it is, so I could hope a1600 is not far away too).
So basically the ONLY question is why Moto doesnt want to put just a little more effort into this phone (little compared to RnD to get it up and running already) and market it worldwide...? I'm damn sure it could find a customer base even for original looks alone (and mind you yet again, its actually a solid phone underneath, too)... MOTO! Wake up while you still can!!!!]]>Sep 29th 2008 11:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Oct 1st 2008 3:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/Oct 1st 2008 6:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/

On a more positive not, I just noticed Engadget added a "related post" post button when in gallery. I had always been waiting for them to do something like that. Very, very nice touch.]]>Sep 30th 2008 6:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/29/hands-on-with-motorolas-motoming-a1600/
