Worries for the MPx

It appears that the camera on my Motorola MPx220 smartphone has given up the ghost. I’ve yet to re-flash the phone (that will probably occur this weekend, sigh) to see if it’s a software issue, but the problem seems to be hardware-related. Perhaps I hit it somewhere (wouldn’t surprise me considering my line of work/inherent clumsiness). I was debating it, but it’s looking more and more like I will be upgrading to the Cingular 3125 in January, when I become eligible for an upgrade. Everything else about the phone is still fine, but now that the seed of doubt about the hardware build has been planted, I’ll start to wonder.

It’s a shame Motorola canceled the GSM Q. They most definitely lost a customer with that boneheaded move. Maybe the GSM Q will live after all? Check this out — if something similar to this (especially in BLACK!) arrives in North America, this will most definitely be my upgrade path…

    I can’t wait until sometime in the Spring for my 2-year committment thing to be fulfilled. I want to get rid of this POS LG VX6100. when my dad told me he was going to switch me over to Verizon from Alltel (which we closed that account after 14 years!), I immediately looked at the Moto V265 (tri-mode). So, when the committment runs out, I’m getting the v265.

    Wow man…I’m not sure if you’ll like Verizon, to be honest with you. My friend Tom, the most critical person of cell phones to ever walk the Earth, adores Alltel’s network and pretty much hates the rest (he’s used ‘em all). Good luck with that man.

    I’m on it now, so I might as well just stay on it to avoid getting locked into another commitment. I hate those things. I’m on it because my dad’s company phone is on Verizon and he travels a lot, so the calls are free. Aside from that, this girl that used to be in one of my classes a few years ago is up at Johnson & Wales in RI and is on V, too. So, for me, it’s the best option.

    Well that’s cool man. Cell phone companies are indeed one giant racket and are the only industry where existing customers get treated worse than new ones. Good luck. :)
