I'm considering an MPx200 to use as a Windows PDA (calendar, contacts), as well as phone. Great display. I was told by ATT rep that it had Bluetooth, but product info doesn't show it. Very little info is available on the web. anyone have experience with this product?

Read this. This news is talking about some wrong informations about the MPx 200. And that this phone isn't so good as said.
And for god sake! It's a Microsoft Phone... that does say all!

With strong biases and preferences, its often hard to tell who to believe on some of the forums and reviewers comments. hmmm...
In my case, I don't really want to pay for a camera in a phone. I mostly want to sync Calendar and Contacts, voice commands, large easy to read display, overall ease of use. I'd like Bluetooth, but its optional for me.
So the MPx200 with its nice display and familiar GUI still looks very interesting to me. I'd love to hear more from those who have used it.
Is Motorola making comparably quality hardware to other manufacturers?

I am really enjoying my MPX-200. I went from the Nokia 3650 to it and do not regret it one bit.
I use it as my phone/pda exclusively (syncs with Outlook) and now just use my PDA for AvantGo (No Smartphone port...yet).
No bluetooth, and a camera attachment is supposed to be in the works, but I heartily recommend it.
My only complaint is the single earbud headset it comes with (it also comes with dual earbud headset to listen to mp3's) is either too faint or too loud despite adjusting the volume.

So far, like others, I really like my MPx200. I sold my ipaq and don't miss it at all.

When I first heard about the MPx200 I got pretty excited about it. I thought it was going to be using Smartphone 2003 which supports Bluetooth and is a little friendlier to the mobile user than the 2002 version. Since playing with an MPx200 I'm really disappointed. The navigation is not very handy and the phone is really limited in what you can load on it and run. Lack of Bluetooth is also a major issue as I've become accustomed to being able to synch my phone and PC while my phone is in my pocket. I'm waiting for the Smartphone 2003 series phones before I spend the money on anything. I'm in the market for a PDA and combining PDA features with a phone would be cool but I need more features than just Pocket Outlook and a pretty screen.

Have found that standing next to my wife's N3200, she has 2 bars, I have no signal.
Nice features, if you don't need to use the phone!
