Motorola Ming A1200 hands on

by Jayvee on July 27th, 2006

ming above (WinCE).jpgI christen thee the “MotoMing!” Sure took a while. I have a unit on review straight from China. The Ming (whose boring name is the A1200) is a Linux based PDA phone that hails from the old Motorola smartphone designs. The new Ming looks absolutely fantastic. If we were to grade the Ming’s aesthetics, it would have to rate a 5/5, 100%, 10/10 .. well you get the picture. If you want to see the complete specs of the A1200, then click here.


Seriously, the Ming’s form factor is to die for. Take a look at the sleek semi-see through protective flip case that isn’t just an aesthetic boon. The Ming’s flip actually shows off the antenna which leads to the earpiece hardware. See that? Wow.

IMG_0713 (Custom).JPG

The Ming is subject to fingerprints and other icky stuff because of its material, which is some sort of hard, smoked transparent plastic. Take a look at the picture below to see what I mean. These particles were highlighted after an hour’s commute in my pocket.

Text messaging is probably the worst with this phone if you have small fingers. The stylus itself is rather small so you may want to buy a larger one. I’ve managed with my little Asian fingers though. SMS input can be done in a variety of formats:

- English Keyboard (QWERTY)
- Numeric Pad
- Handwriting Recognition
- Pinyin Board
- Zhuyin Board

The highlight of the Ming is its 2MP camera that can also record video. It has a very innovative user interface for taking shots. Tap the screen and panels that display camera options such as effects and brightness spring out from the side in semi-transparency. Tap it again and they disappear with a cool animation.

Here are some samples of pictures taken at hi-res. The shots are actually a lot better in quality compared to what other smartphone / PDA cameras can take.

Pictures are at 1600×1200 size (resized here) and take up around 500kb of space.

    quite simple actually. i have bluetooth enabled in my notebook and send the picture via BT file transfer :) i didnt even need the cable.

    can you synchronize with Microsoft outlook?
    Thanks

  • Wisefool
    Sep 18, 2006 at 10:44 pm

    Derek: you need to use the Motorola phone tools software that should have come with the phone. Otherwise push it with Bluetooth (your ‘puter needs to have BT or buy a $15 adaptor)

    Victor: It will sync contacts from Outlook only. =( It is embedded linux, which means some day someone might code a method to sync the calandar. There’s all sorts of software and tools being coded for linux phones all the time, but obviously it depends if you’re willing to wait around for such a thing.

    Is there a way to get the calendar to reflect the duration of the task? Ie: if lunch is from 12-2, can I get it to block the time from 12-2 rather than just at 12?

    if you dont mind the small screen format plus the fact that the ming is purely touch screen controlled, then go for it!

    I’d like to transfer notes from the other cel to my Ming, but it was not sucessfull, any tip?

    I installed the Motorola phone tools software to sinc Ming and Outlook, first time ok, but second try the program says Ming is off, although its on. I tried to reinstall the programm, to follow the stesps over and over, and nothing happened:( can U help me

    What are the lacks regarding PDA features in this phone.

  • Talia
    Oct 24, 2006 at 8:07 pm

    I like this phone. It handy, doesn’t lag, like the pda i had cingular (htc) 8125. picture quality is great. it came with a 128mb card. just get a bigger one if it takes up room. but with 128 at 2mp it holds like 200 pictures. yea the typing sucks, but thats why you write it out. overall. i love it. and it does block out time from 12-2 if you tell it to. and choose that your busy during that time.

    Hi
    I had a very unique problem - since there was no screen protector for this I bought one and installed and immediately after the touch screeen functionality went awry - it took me two days to figure out what went wrong - it was the screen protector - the touch screen functionality works best with no screen protector on - FYI.

    A recent motoming a1200 user and loving it.

    Hi

    Does anyone know how many address book entries I can have on this? I have a 512MB memory card installed. Everytime I sync with outlook - only about 300 or so entries come in while I have more than 1000 in outlook - how do I import all the contacts?

    Thanks in advance.

    REF: Cut & Paste function?

    Greetings,

    I had an (way) earlier model, the A008, which suffered from the crippling absence of a cut and paste feature. Does this model (motoming) have cut and paste?

    Thanks!

    Marco.

  • Shekar
    Oct 28, 2006 at 5:41 pm

    Marco

    No - there is no cut and paste feature yet - there is also no way to add numbers from address book to turbo dialing - you have to physically enter them. Motorola has a lot to learn on the feature side from Sony Ericsson. All the best.

    Shekar

  • Jayvee
    Oct 28, 2006 at 8:23 pm

    were you able to add more than 300 entries? this must be a limitation.

  • James
    Oct 29, 2006 at 1:40 am

    I’m not sure how long the battery life is, it’s more than 12h on standby… i supose you could significantly reduce the battery’s life by not following instructions when you first charge the phone.

    Change msn to english:
    Open MSN
    1. Click bottom left text
    2. Click 5th option down
    3. Select first option
    4. press second button from left (first is disabled)

    All good :D

    is a great phone!

    Cut and paste feature? sure is!
    select the text by pressing and dragin from leftside to right side of text. then press and hold on text, squares should form around where you pressed and eventually a menu will appear. select cut. then press and hold where you want the text to be when the menu appears, select paste. :D

  • Ruth

    There is cut and paste. And it works wonderfully well.
    You just press (and keep pressing) the part you want to highlight.
    You can then choose copy or cut.
    Go to wherever you want to paste it, keep pressing down and the paste option will show.

  • Jayvee

    @vonn,

    keep your eyes open. the ming uses a new operating system compared to the other motorola phones. not sure about compatibility just yet.

    I have the A1200 and cannot get the email pop3 to work (browser email does). When I launch “email” for any pop3 address (yahoo, google, charter)it connects to my server (t-mobile’s voice stream) and then when it goes to connect to POP or SMTP I get an error message “Host is not found”. The only thing that appears odd is when connecting it shows “connecting topop.mail.yahoo.com” with no space between “connecting to” and the pop address. All else seems normal but does not work.

    T-mobile and Yahoo have spent 1 1/2 hours each trying to figure out what is wrong, but no luck. Any brilliant tech’s out there?

    Hi
    I am a recent user of the A1200. I have a few questions, I am not able to resolve. Hope one of you would be able to assit me

    1. Is it possible to store the Contacts/Tasks/Calender/SMS information on the memory card. I performed a RTFM and was not able to find a solution.
    2. I have misplaced the Software Media CDs. Is it possible to download a copy from “somewhere”
    3. I feel more comfortable with a device which I can manipulate. Does we have some phone hacks for the A1200. Like Phone reset etc

    Thanks in Advance

    If you forget your unlock code: At the
    Enter Unlock Code prompt, try entering 1234 or the
    last four digits of your phone number. If that
    doesn’t work, tap = open the unlock code
    bypass screen. Enter your security code, then
    tap OK to submit the security code.

    Well, I bought my Ming A1200 some three months back, and it has grown on me like anything. The UI is very intuitive, and it helps you manage your schedule if you’re a busy professional.

    Further on, the quality of audio, if you use the earphones, is pretty good. The default speaker volume is too low, though.

    I haven’t felt the need to install too many additional packages onto this sleek thing (I do that kind of “extreme stuff” to my laptop, instead), but I did install the Gmail mobile app and it works beautifully.

    All in all, an excellent buy for its price. I couldn’t ask for anything better. This is Rs. 16k well spent!

    This is a paste from cingular.com forum with the original message as follows with a few of my own revisions:

    This is a paste from a http://www.motorolafans.com concerning setting for A1200. I bought one for my wife and used this forum to get all the tips and tricks. I hope that there is a US version coming soon for this phone.

    Go to the setup setting from the menu>data network> click on the tab with the three bars to make a “new” network, then put this in:

    Profile Name: Cingular
    GPRS setting:
    APN: wap.cingular

    Test by sending a mms from your phone to your phone, in that way you know if it can send and recieve.

    I use mine with cingular, I’ve gotten it online using cingular, but because it’s not a cingular device, I cannot download games or ringtones or anything from them. On the otherhand, I’ve got the phone tools for motorola, so I really don’t need to buy ringers anymore.

    Sometimes, my A1200 turns off for no apparent reason. It’s done it to me 3-4 times so far in the week that I’ve had it. I’m sure it shouldn’t do that, is it doing that to anybody else?

    I have had my A1200 for about 6 months and just recently I have been getting a Flash Memory is full warning. Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

  • urnberg
    Feb 8, 2007 at 6:18 pm

    if your sim card is locked, you have to call the cell phone provider for the unlock code, after a few failed tries, your sim is going to fry. So you are going to have to buy a new, at about $25 and call your cell phone provider to update the new sim card in the system. Give it about a minute while the phone is off and power on and you should have service again. If it should happen again, just call your cell phone provider at the first sign of trouble instead of diagnosing it yourself.

  • urnberg
    Feb 9, 2007 at 10:52 am

    Flash memory is the memory space you have on your little memory card that is in place in the phone where the battery is. You can go in the file manager option from the main menu and and begin to delete things to make space or you can just purchase another one.

    I’ve had this phone for a couple of months and can’t say enough good about it. If you are considering purchasing one - just do it.

    Here’s one thing that I’m not certain about. I’ve got my email, internet & etc. all hooked up. But when someone calls and I ignore the call or miss it - the ming always shoots me a blank text message afterward. Does anyone know how to fix this? It also usually says I have two voicemails when I open the phone up - but there aren’t any voice messages. Other then that the phone is great!

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Shanon / Urnburg,

    My Ming came with 128K memory. Not enough. Let me know if buying 1 or 2 GB Sandisk Micro SD a good choice.

    Here is another question for Urnburg. Do I need to do any setup in my Ming to have Outlook calendar to sync with the phone? I’ve already tried synchronizing after intalling the Motorola Phone Tool (software came with the phone), but the phone is unable to connect with my Outlook. I’m not setup to use Ming for email, just an FYI.

    Thanks,

    Mar 15, 2007 at 2:02 am

    Guys, got the answer… For all those who want to change their network carrier :-

    1. Open your dialing pad
    2. on left side bottom, click on option menu
    3. a new dialog with few options will open, click on “network” (This would be 2nd line under Line option)
    4. Click on that and you will get 4 options for network
    5. Click on “Available networks”
    6. And you are done.. you will get a list of all available network carriers.

    Cheers !!!!

    Regarding my previous posting (#170):
    To be more specific, I get a ring telling me I have a new message. It’s blank, and it’s not from anyone, so I figured this meant I had a new voice mail.

    my problem was that I was able to browse but not use MSN messenger application on the configured email… seems like if your having this problem its probably because you have WAP settings on your phone… get rid of those and problems Solved :D
    Happy Ming’ing

    I was wondering if the Ming could be made louder than it’s “Ring Loudly” option???? I’m kind of disappointed with the sound level:(

    I just bought a ming about a week ago. It’s sweet. I love it. At first it takes a while to get use to but once you know how to do the do u are good to go. One thing though, I usually buy motorola phones because you can lock application, so that people don’t snoop around in your phone. However, I notice you can’t do this on the ming! Is there an update that will allow that or it is just not possible?

    Hey i had the same problem tried all the different config. on the web that ive found and still nothing works. I could send mms but i cant recieve. I also noticed the same thing when you save the settings to ISDN it goes back to modem, i dont know if that’s the problem. I talk to a couple reps in T-Mobile and USA Motorola they said it may have to do with what kind of software you have in your ming, if the phone came from hong kong and the software ends with 53P that might be the problem. If you type WWW008W on your phones dial pad you will be able to find your software. Oh yeah go to your dial pad hit menu insert, tap insert wait, that makes the W, do the same step to get all the W’s. If the first set of numbers end with a .53P then you might have to change your software by flashing it. Thats what they told me that motorola told them was the problem with HONG KONG A1200 mings. The software on the phone cant accept tmobile MMS, which really sucks. I tried it with a Different A1200 Ming with software 44P still the same thing, my guess all the A1200 that was manufactured in Honk Kong have this problem. Let me know if you find a way fixs this problem.

    Anyways, so far this are the settings I have used

    Network Profile
    Goto Menu > Setup > Data Network > Profile > Edit (if you want to edit the current profile) or New (if you want to create a new one)
    Profile Name: TMobile (is up to you what name to choose)
    APN: wap.voicestream.com
    Timeout: 15 Minutes
    Primary IP 216.155.165.50 (some people use 050 on the last set
    which is the same than just 50)
    Port: 8080
    Baud Rate: 9600
    Line Type: ISDN

    Save everything
    *The rest of the options on the profile stay blank

    MMS PRofile
    Goto your Messages > Service Setup > Multimedia Message > Click on the Folder icon under Default Pofile and create a new MMS Profile

    Profile Name: TMobile MMS (is up to you what name to choose)
    MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms (now on a website
    someone mention to replace http:// by MMSC: looking
    like this MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms which
    didn’t work for me whether I left the space between
    MMSC: and 216 or without the space MMSC:216)
    Max Sending Size: 200k (no other size available
    Network Profile: TMobile (or however you named it)

    I just bought the Ming 2 weeks ago, and I love it. Figured out a few things, and hopefully this’ll be helpful (I love cellpohones)

    1) The ming supports 2 GB MicroSD Cards. You can fill the card right up, but when you want to access any file from the card, it will take a few minutes, BE PATIENT!

    2) Regarding internet settings, contact your service provider BEFORE launch the browser, and get all the internet settings (to know what to ask them, hit the menu button on the top left hand side, go to setup, go to Data Network, hit the menu button on the BOTTOM left hand side, and go to new. It will have all the information that you need to fill out, and you just re-iterate that info to your carrier! Mine gave it to me no problem!)

    3) READ THE MANUAL!!! It does help when there are specifics that you have (like time, calender, etc.)

    4) The Mobile phone tools software that you usually get with this phone DOES sync with Outlook Express for contacts only. It will sync Contacts, Calender, & Tasks if you have Office 2003. MPT does not yet support office 2007 (learned the hardway)

    5) IN regards to MSN messenger, somebody took the time to give you the steps above, but there they are anyway:

    1) Launch MSN Messenger
    2) Click the bottom left hand button on the screen
    3) Select the 5th option in that menu (count from the first line as 1)
    4) Select the first option (there’ll only be 2 options, select the top one - they’ll have circles beside them)
    5) Select the 2nd button from the left

    You have ENGLISH!

    6) REgarding MMS messaging (videos, pictures, etc), some of these phones or carriers have a certain limit that you can send in an MMS message. If you picture is over 1 megabyte, you can forget it. Get the phone to reduce the quality, and resend

    7) Unfortunantly, the speaker is not as loud as the Ming’s predocessors (RAZR, PEBL, Moto Q), and it’s disappointing. But, i’ve used the Motorola BT820 (Bluetooth Stereo Headset), and the clarity of the audio (including the bass of the music) is incredible. The phone calls are clear and no cutting

    8) Regarding the time. From the main screen, if you select the Menu button from the top left
