Summary: Don't be tempted by the nice package and cheap price
Review: I came back to AT&T for this phone and it was a huge mistake. Service could not be worse (D.C. and Northern Virginia). AT&T and Motorola refuse to properly support this "upgradeable" phone. They refuse issue software upgrades that are available, primarily because they want to force customers to buy expensive new equipment (other phone providers are giving the upgrades on their phones for free or a relatively low price; see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/upgrade.mspx). You will not be able to access any new areas of the AT&T network because it is being built out in a frequency that this phone does not receive (remember, you will be committed for two years). You will not be able to count on using it internationally because AT&T has blocked out the 900 mhz frequency (it's available on this phone, AT&T simply blocked it!!). There are too many problems with AT&T and this phone to list in one review. Pay attention to others on this site, while it may be hard to believe that anything could be this bad, it is, primarily because AT&T service (network and customer service) is a disaster.

Summary: Thanks for the tip
Review: ...found the link to http://muwap.com here on amazon. Also found that they give you 10% off everything when you type in "amazon" as the coupon code. They have tons of tones for the Motorola phones, and with the coupon it's only $9/year. Cheaper than mMode, and much better selection. Thanks, whomever posted this before!

Summary: This is beta version...
Review: Good
- cheap
- memory extension slot
- small
- speakerphone
- free synchronization software
- USB recharchable
- looks very nice - Motorola has done an exellent job with hardware...Bad
- battery life - doesn't even last a day
- reception - my 4 years old StarTech had better reception than this one...
- boot time - it takes more than 1 min for the phone to boot !!!
- extemely slow to all commands
- it's a phone , damn it: when you press "end" button you expect the phone to end the conversation !!!, not to lock up on you so you have to pull the battery out to reset it!
- doesn't have a bluetooth
- headset is awfull !!! - noises all the time, proprietary...
- AT&T ships this phone with old 2002 Smartphone OS and put's a lot of extra AT&T mMode crap on the phone...
Conclusion:
It's a nice toy if you are not planning to use it as a phone...

Summary: Expensive phone for diminishing returns
Review: I'm not somone who requires 18 different functions from his cell phone, but I bought this one because I had an amazing deal on it. In the end, the Microsoft OS irritated me the same way their desktop OSes do; too much operational overhead. In fact, I even went into the "Task Manager" to shut off some "extra" processes that were taking up too much memory. I am in Raleigh/Durham NC and the phone picked up Cingular WAY too often - I guess their signal is stronger than AT&T's, and I hate paying the extra fees for their service. Pros: Nice design materials
Upgradeable memory chip
Nice display
USB interface
Cons: Microsoft OS complex - e.g. 6 menu levels to change ringer
Volume wheel on outside of phone (!) and changes in pocket
Battery life is horrible
Low Battery messages accumulate, you have to dismiss like 4 of them to type anything else.
hanging up phone is confusing - Is it hung up? Tiny icons on screen for this operation. I DO not recommend this phone unless you have money to burn and you want to "wow" your friends, and you don't care about all the cons.

Summary: Great phone and AT&T is the way to go.
Review: (Living in AL) Have researched for the best plan and phone. Everyone is on the Nextel kick because of the walkie talkie but their plans are not the best. AT&T is the best plan - looking at the coverage map. They have the best coverage by far. Also, disregard the reviewer who spoke of roaming charges. He might want to reread the plan because National Plans have no roaming charges.
The phone is excellent. Takes a few lessons to get the hang out of it but over all - would rank it as better that others I have seen. Samung is ranked high on the AT&T website - not sure why as Motorola has the display on the outside.

Summary: Terrible Reception and VERY Short Battery life
Review: I purchased an MXP 200 and was very disappointed with the receiption and battery life. I could not go the whole day on a single charge if I made more than 30 minutes of calls. I could not call from my basement, although my sisters, much cheaper, Siemens C56 worked great in the same spots. All very odd to me, but I wish it was better as I loveed the other features. Rob

Summary: IT WORKS WELL FOR ME
Review: I purchased the Motorola MPx200 Smartphone through AT&T with a calling plan. When I received the phone I was excited to see that it looked so good. The color home screen is great and you can change the color to suit your mood. I especially like the calendar with reminder as I am generally on the go and it keeps me on time for appointments. The phone is a well built, rugged product but did not come with a holster or pouch so I purchased one from AT&T after I decided to keep the phone. It has so many extra functions that I have not yet tried like mMode, internet explorer and email. If I get around to using these I will write another review.

Summary: MPX 200 A BIG DISAPOINTMENT
Review: I had the Sony/Ericson t68I and the receptions stunk...I had the phone replaced 5 times and was happy to see ATT&T upgraded the phone to a new version for free. That new one worked pretty good but lacked all the features I wanted so I ordered the Mpx200 along with my Partner. The signal is absolutely Horrible! you hear about every other word and half my calls go to Voicemail. I love the looks of the phone and the Contact Intergration but I am just pissed with the signal. EVerybody keeps telling me that Siemens makes the best GSM phone for reception on the GSM network. I would dump AT&T and this phone if I had not just renewed my $99.00 Nationwide Unlimited GSM charter plan for another 2 years..Any suggestions? I talk over 5,000 Mins per month and I need a phone that works. Richard_Decoursy@dsg-corp.com

Summary: Cool features...but questionable quality and coverage
Review: I bought my original MPX200 at Best Buy in December 2003. I wanted a cell phone that, in addition to having the usual phone features, allowed me to access my Microsoft Outlook contact and schedule information and to do basic checking of e-mail. When I was in range of AT&T service, calls were clear, and even when I wasn't, I could at least access my Outlook information without a problem. Unfortunately, AT&T doesn't have great coverage around my house (in Redford, Michigan--right outside of the Detroit city limits, where there shouldn't be coverage gaps), and...the phone itself went on the fritz, and I had to have it replaced. The phone wouldn't boot properly: it would get to the initial mLife screen and then shut itself off. Nothing seemed to work to boot the thing, and the technicians at Best Buy were unable to figure out the problem, so Best Buy just replaced it (which used up my extended warranty/replacement plan, causing me to buy a new plan for the replacement phone). Not good.

Summary: Phone OK, company HORRIBLE
Review: I bought one of these directly from AT&T in October. The phone was ok, but it wasn't a powerful enough PDA for a prior Pocket PC user like myself. The sound quality was excellent, but the menu moved slow as heck. There really weren't many more features there that you couldn't find on any ordinary newer wireless phone. The biggest upside was the synch with Outlook, which really worked well. The biggest downside (for me at least) was the speed and horrible message notification. I missed virtually every voicemail due to non-notification. My biggest issue is with the company itself, AT&T Wireless. When I ordered the MPx200, they charged me twice for ONE phone, which they mailed directly to me. Simple enough, right? Just remove the obvious bad charge and I'm ok, right? Well, it is now April and I am STILL waiting for a credit to my account. They keep saying they have to "investigate" or "dispute" the charges. Not only that, but the phone was even returned many months ago, so I have NOTHING but a lingering bogus charge. My service has been interrupted three times for the still pending "credit" (all at $25 per pop re-activation, which I was just advised today will NOT be credited anymore unless the "delinquent" amount is paid. Calls to their customer care are fruitless and when I even tried to post in their forum (as a 6+ year subscriber), they censored and deleted all my messages which said nothing more than what you just read. There is a lot more to tell (such as being entered into an additional year contract without my knowledge or consent when I purchased the problematic wireless phone), but I've wasted enough of your time. Try another phone/provider, TRUST ME on this.
