Motorola Ming A1200 Review

[ProDemon]

Its the best PDA phone you can have for 16.5K
I have one and here is what i got
-Phone
- 512 mb card
- 3 stylus
- a battery
- 2 cds
- 1 pouch
- manuals

This is a beautiful phone, Shape and looks are awesome, I purchased it after selling my KJam ( that was too big to fit in JEANS pocket, camera was poor quality)

Review :
- Pure business design ( black edition rocks )
- 240*320 Touch screen ( 262K )
- 2 mp camera, good quality (8/10)
- Best handwriting recog feature I have ever used, + onscreen keyboard
- Real Player, mp3 and video quality is fair enough to use ( 6/10 )
- Fm Radio
- Document reader ( just like quick office reader on nokia ) reads PDF too
- Full Calender and PIM
- Has inbuilt Browser and MSN messenger and Opera available free
- Notes is included
- full featured PC suite ( one of its kind, you can make call through PC interface, awesome)
- Business card reader ( works fine with simple cards )
- Battery life is 6/10, its good enough.
My suggestion :
If you are planning to buy Nokia n72 or similar phone in that price range, check this thing first.
__________
Forgot to mention, I purchased it from HOT SPOT, Delhi for 16450/-
My last phone was KJam ( from GAFFAR Market, 18K )
My Next phone is Sony ericsson w950i, I will buy that phone on first price drop

Hey buddy , although that phone with it's looks & price is a killer but try dropping it from a fairly good height ( 6 feet or so )& u have got urself a sexy looking piece of junk , atleast that's what happened to a friend of mine . The screen went kaput & also the touchscreen is not exactly in a good shape

I just cant understand, why anyone will try to drop his 16k gadget?

What a silly point?

Dropping any phone may cause damage, its your luck, I dont know any popular smartphone which comes with SHOCK proof feature.

Hey prodemon , the phone slipped from his hands . & the service center guys haven't been able to fully fix it. i was just warning u abt it.
BTW here's a surprise for ur A1200 (lots of apps )

You drop any smartphone from 6ft height or more you will end with junk...but that was such a rediculous reason to even talk about...don't you think that people who spend 16k+ on a phone will know that one has to be careful with it?...sorry mate but your reasoning sucks BIG time...please try writing something more useful.
Hey ProDemon I have a Nokia 6708 which has pretty much the same features like the motoming the only 2 major differences are that 6708 has a larger screen & a 2GB capacity card but for a price tag of 16k plus the FM radio Motoming is definately value for every single penny you spent on it...good buy...hope it serves you well for a long time.

Hi ,
Thanks for the review on Motoming 1200
I'm planning to buy it but I have a query

What are the most popular softwares available for motoming? Could you provide me some links or websites where I can find them? I searched in google but couldn't find anything.

As you are aware, there are lot of 3rd party softwares are available for symbian OS based phones.

Saj.

[Asfaq]

ok.. this does it!! i've been procrastinating long enough over this phone.. am gonna get it soon now !! I am tired of modding my k750.. u can only do so much wid the FAR manager.. Wid da ming, doing seem editing and all should be fun.. This will be my first Moto phone! am more in the 'rabid SE fan' mould

hope it does'nt disappoint

@prodemon : tell us ur experience wid the phone man! do u find the menu laggy?? that sort of thing.. these specks i can get off the web too !!

[ProDemon]

there are no 3rd party softwares available for ming

[assasin]

hey is the audio thru loudspkr loud enough?to which Nokia fone is the audio compareable?

[hemant_mathur]

Audio is not loud as per se.

[Ankur Gupta]

And the most important thing...
You don't get the wireless headsets in that 16.5k..
You have to spend 5k extra to get them...
Moto has been fooling people on this front..
Keep that in mind before buying it...
Never like moto interface so skipped it though the touchscreen thing is the only feature of this phone that can attract buyers...

hah...u mean that people will expect it? like get a phone like this for only 13-14K???

[racevthme]

Motorola never fools the people....
Nokia folls the people....
See the cost of motoMing now...It is 12000rs ...............
Show me a better phone than this in this cost....

[hackers2005.3721]

hey racevthem i know a1200 is worth the price but they in this gizmo world where every days the prices down and new thing come up we usally sell the cell within a year we dont get a good price for touch screen not of moto but also nokia 6708 so beeter stya away from touch screen i am waiting for apple iphone when i will buy saving me too i will wait for 1 year yarr .

u knopw n95 was about 40 k when realsed with bill and with 2 months only price slased to 27 k now i think till nxt year it will be in 15 to 20 k ..

[r2d2]

N95(classic) is Rs 21000 right now w/o bill, with bill its Rs 24000.

[planetcall]

Just an update here: Motoming is now available at about 10,000 in premium shops in bangalore. I explored this phone and found one very absurd thing. You can not change the FM Channels unless you open the flap and navigate through to the FM Player and manually press the button to switch to next channel. WTF!!!! this should have been done by the sound adjustment keys as is provided by SE. Too bad! they missed this feature. Its silly. Even the packed earphone doesnt work with its button press as it happens with Nokia phones. In Nokia you press the button on your earphone and the channel jumps.

[Pravas]

Yeah i saw it in Reliance Fresh Hyderabad at RS10300

[the great one]

I tink MotoRokr E6 is a better choice bcoz its more gud luking den ming , i hav an E6 and cant just tell u how thrilled i am wid it wat are the thngs it cant do , u hav loads and loads of thngs to do wid it.
I bought it a month ago from RPG Cellcom @ 11250(basic model - one w/o bluethooth stereo headsets) and got a headset (not stereo) worth around
1.5k free , as a promotional offer frm RPG.
I tink its a better choice den ming .

[azzu]

^ it is

[iMav]

but ming's got the sexy flap

[planetcall]

Ming looks killer than Rockr!! But, i wonder how delicate it is.

[Ganeshkumar]

If these phones work little faster.. it wuld be much great! though it have 310Mhz processor!!!

[the great one]

@Ganesh Kumar : How do u know buddy dat it has 310Mhz processor.

[Ganeshkumar]
