The Motorola MPx220 has at last appeared on the Motorola website. Found by Modaco member Tristan Leask (who also kindly posted it to the microsoft.public.smartphone newsgroup), the page details functionality, features, and accessories! It kinda has the feel of an official press release, although I couldn't find it linked on their main Press site.
The associated Word document has almost identical wording, but appears to more closely match a leaked press release about the MPx220 that appeared on the web recently on the MSMobiles website.
But wait! This page might not yet be ready for prime time! In features, it specifically quote Pocket PC 2003 - surely not! Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone, more likely - and I'm sure it's meant to be Second Edition, at that.
Nonetheless, it's nice to see that an official page has finally surface. I just hope they stop confusing the MPx220 with the MPx soon ;-)
