Has anyone try out this phone before? I know there is no cam, but don't know if it is user friendly?

I also saw the promo that starhub is offering. If you sign up maxonline and mobile plan for 2 years(contract) this phone is free(with trade-in) or $98(without trade-in). Seems attractive, don't know how is the response for this. Any comments from anyone?

[godaikyoko]

it is released ah ...

[Gabby]

released long ago i think.. ppl have been talking abt it...
swayer: imo it's not worth it.. you have to sign 2 years max online plus 2 years itself to starhub.. it's not worth it at all.. in fact it's gonna cost u..

Why I'm looking at this is 'cos I'll be switching to Maxonline(plan to do so). So with this deal, my concern is if the hp is good or not. Never use MS software hp b4(smartphone). They give you a phone at low cost, sure want you to sign up their line too lah....2 ears is abit long leh..... :p

I'm thinking if the online usage(thru' WAP or POP) will it cost a lot for data transfer count. If yes, then it will be siong to use the phone.

I just got the phone from starhub last night. It's kinda of disappointing imo. The phone isn't that great compare to my N6600. Maybe I still need time to get use to motorola interface since it is totally different from Nokia.

I haven't really surf around, looking for programs to install into the phone itself. Kinda thick if you compare to the other clamshell that are in the market.

I think the xphone might be better since it got camera. But since I don't have any contract with maxonline and is getting a new line with starhub so thought of getting the phone to try out the microsoft mobile os.

If you are in the hubber club, new sim card charges are waived.

If getting the mpx200 from starhub through the promotion, breaking the contract might really cost you!

Mobile contract = $500
Maxonline contract = $400
Total = $900

Not sure if I got all the figures correct but the amount is somewhere around there. Do think carefully before making any decision.
