The Motorola Ming phone rises again

It is not a bad idea for a very successful cell phone to be brought from the dead, especially if the certain phone is expected to still create sensation if it were available in the market. It is not a bad idea if the company knows very well that there’s a real demand coming from the customers concerning the cell phone in discussion. Otherwise, efforts are useless.

This is what happened with the Motorola A1200, which was known as the Motorola Ming phone. It behave better than the company would have expected it to behave when it was released, back in 2006. Yearning for those days, Motorola decided to revive that fever, so it has just unveiled the new Motorola A1200R.







The most important differences between the two handsets consist of the following features that you won’t be able to find withing the old version: widgets (you have easy access to weather information, news and so on), the Microsoft Office document editing, FM radio, business card scanner which is based on OCR technology (also known as Optical Character recognition) and an external memory of 1GB that is included in the package.







The camera and the display are exactly the same: a 2 megapixel camera and a QVGA display with touch sensitive capabilities.




The new Motorola Ming phone has just been announced in Argentina, so chances are very high for it to become available in other countries from Latin America. As for its price, we don’t know how much it will cost you to revive the Ming fever, but we’ll keep you informed.
