I have been using A1200 (motoming) for about 18 months now, without any issues. Some of the points mentioned by others apply : 1. Touchscreen only - Avg battery life of 2 days. 2. Has a flap, which hosts the earpiece Not sure whether I am able to explain correctly) It is NOT a passive protective cover. 3. No way to pickup a call without opening a flap (may be possible using bluetooth hands free, I have not tried) 4. Not easy to open the flap using one hand (Usually good thing, but due to #2 and #3 above, this posses problem at times.) 5. Very active community - http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/tags/index.php/a1200/ 6. Lots of applications available, may not be 1:1 mapping with applications for WinMobile. 7. Doesn't have EDGE/WiFi, if that is requirement -DP -- On the internet, no one knows you are a penguin -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
