Motorola ditches the MPx220

I refer to your first take article of the MPx220. It says that Motorola has pushed back the Australian release date from November to February. Yet February has passed and there is no sign of this phone. I have emailed Motorola multiple times only to be told to "keep checking the Web site for an update" every time I speak to them. Other sources have told me:

  1. It has not yet received network approval in Australia
  2. The phones are ready they are just waiting for the carriers to release them to consumers
  3. The last news I heard was that they were cancelled altogether!
