Motorola Launches MING A1200, FLIP W220

Other than the KRZR, Motorola has also shown off the MOTOMING A1200 Linux Smartphone and the MOTOFLIP W220 stylish budget clamshell at Mobile Asia 2006.

The quad-band, Linux-operated business Smartphone offers a 240x320 (QVGA) touchscreen, a document reader (OCR) feature, a 2-megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth, 8mb built-in memory and a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, miniUSB connection, MP3/AAC/FM Radio player and a standard 2.5mm stereo jack socket. Lloyd Mathias, director, marketing, Motorola India, said that the "Motorola Ming comes with a business card reader and is meant for executives who would not want to compromise on design or features." Surprisingly, the MOTOMING doesn’t offer EDGE or 3G, resorting to plain old GPRS for internet connectivity. A tough choice at Rs 16,500.

For full QWERTY keypad and Blackberry-category users, Motorola’s Q was there to grab the attention. The Windows Mobile-powered Smartphone is one of the slimmest, and hence has been reffered to as the "RAZRberry" by the community.

The MOTOFLIP W200 can be best described as the budget RAZR. The stylish, slim clamshell phone offers a completely no-frills feature set, with the only added offering being the FM radio receiver. The phone has no external display, but instead uses colored LED-lit icons on the shell to indicate status to the user. The phone also offers GPRS and MMS, though there’s no Bluetooth or Infrared and obviously no camera. The MOTOFLIP W220 is a reasonable buy at Rs. 3,900.
