The MPx220’s clamshell form factor is more sleek and svelte than its predecessor’s, while it retains the internal antenna design. The large, 176 x 220 screen with a whopping 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the cover. A smaller, full-color LCD screen, which displays pictures, incoming calls, current time, battery life, signal strength, and other information, is located on the outside of the cover. The 1.23-megapixel camera and flash, as well as the speakerphone unit, are also housed on the outside of the cover. A five-way selection button above the number pad allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. There are also up/down menu selection buttons on the left side of the device for easy access to basic controls. In addition to a headset jack, a miniSD memory expansion card slot is housed in the unit. The power key and infrared port are housed on the left side of the unit, while a universal charger/USB data port is present on the bottom.
Calling Features
The MPx220 has all the calling features you’ve come to expect. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Vibrate modes and custom WAV and MP3 ringtones can be set so you’ll know who’s calling without having to look at the LCD. The included Pocket Outlook software features a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone’s dialing functions. Enhanced voice dialing supports voice-to-digit dialing and name recognition for speedy dialing of contacts. The MPx220’s voice recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a preprogrammed user’s voice. Because the MPx220 is Bluetooth-enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them, the unit comes with pocket versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer, and MSN Messenger. In addition to keeping track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and e-mail functions. E-mail support is provided for IMAP and POP3 accounts, as well as for corporate accounts. Microsoft’s ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC’s Outlook information (via USB, Bluetooth, or infrared connection). Users who want Internet connectivity on the road with their laptop or PDA can tap the MPx220’s wireless modem capabilities. The unit supports VPN and proxy Internet connections. iTap text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit–a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the MPx220, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a to-do list, and an alarm clock.
Imaging and Entertainment
The MPx220’s powerful 1.23-megapixel still camera also features video with audio capture capability. In addition to a flash, the camera features a self-timer, multi-frame shooting capability, white balance, and color control, as well as a time-stamp option. The video camera’s capture capability is only limited by the amount of available memory in the unit. The inclusion of Windows Media on the MPx220 means that you can use the handset as an MP3 and video player, as well. The amount of music and video you can store is only limited by the unit’s memory. For gamers, the phone supports Java-based and Windows Mobile game downloads.
