FCC passes Motorola A1600 MOTOMING 2

Tue, 06 May 2008 22:49:11 +0000

It's too bad Motorola hasn't seen fit to bring the Motorola A1600 MING 2 to the US. The FCC has just checked off on the uniquely-designed A1600 MOTOMING 2 handset, which is good news to anyone looking forward to getting their hands on the Motorola clamshell. The Moto A1600 MING 2 ups the ante on its [...]

Motorola Q10 and MOTOMING A1600 coming to CTIA?

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:41:50 +0000

We'd hold out breath for Motorola to bring the Motorola Q10 and MOTOMING A1600 to CTIA in a week, but then we'd risk asphyxiation. Motorola isn't exactly the go-to company for reliable and timely device launches, but if DigiTimes is on point with their latest info, we could indeed see Moto packing a serious punch [...]

Motorola launching MOTO Ming 2 in Q2 2008

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:13:01 +0000

Remember when we said that there were rumblings of Motorola’s Linux-based MOTOMING successor, the Motorola A1600 Ming 2, launching in February of 2008? Right, well, it turns out that the MOTOMING 2 is due out in Q2 of 2008. DigiTimes reports that Inventec has secured the manufacturing contract. Bill Chen, General Manager of Motorola Taiwan’s Mobile Device business has confirmed that the next-gen MOTOMING will be hitting the mainstream later than expected - and in high-end and low-end trim. Both trim-levels are EDGE-only, which is a bit confusing. EDGE on a low-end device makes sense, but on a high-end handset? Hey, if the iPhone can do it, why not a Linux-based smartphone from Motorola?

Motorola A1600 MING 2 - MOTOMING successor coming next year?

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 22:36:20 +0000

The successor to Motorola’s svelte and dated MotoMING A1200 MING PDA phone has been a long time in the making. Motorola’s original A1200 MING was a great idea, but it just never quite captured a significant following in the US - although you can still find some brand-new (albeit years-old) A1200 MING handsets in some cut-rate third-party retailer storefronts. Well, now we’re hearing that Motorola is prepping the successor to the A1200 MING with their new MotoMING A1600 MING 2 smartphone. The new A1600 MING 2 will sport essentially the same design philosophy of its forebear, but will be packing in the goods - 3.2 megapixel camera (with autofocus and LED flash), quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio, WiFi, AGPS, talking dictionary (the A1200 was a hit with the Chinese set, after all), and a faster CPU. According to Enet , the new MING 2 will boast a 17.5mm-thick profile and a new Linux-based touchscreen UI. We’ve heard that the MOTOMING 2 would sport some US-friendly 3G frequencies as well, but we’ll just have to wait and see how that rumor pans out. Word on the street has it that Motorola will be launching their A1600 MOTOMING 2 in February, so the wait won’t be all too unbearable. With 3G, GPS, and WiFi, we’re certainly looking forward to getting a MOTOMING 2 in our hands.
