i love my mpx200. it's the perfect size in that it combines the palm and the cell.

Installing it did remove all the at&t customization, but I'm using a tmobile sim, so that didn't matter to me.
Let me know if you want it and I'll email it to you.

What version of the MPx200 software are you running? I got a non-at&t supported firmware off the net (BEN6-0630-012.img - 12/3/2003) and am having no issues.

You want to call toll-free numbers? Let me send you a super secret firmware image that will erase the current settings in your phone

Does the mpx200 use an Intel processor? I'd love to get a firmware version from ANY phone that would transform my Mitac Mio into something more than a constantly-rebooting, error-messaging, POS paperweight.
MS smartphone? NEVER EVER EVER again.

Sadly the firmwares also contain the radio firmware, external connectors, display drivers etc... so a firmware from motorola won't work on any other phone...

Let's be fair, it is an AT&T issue, not a Moto/MS one. They came out with the firmware and released it in a timely manner, its AT&T (shockingly!) that dragging their feet on releasing it (or porting their customizations to it).</font>

Don't let the facts get in the way of my hatred of the MS Smartphone platform

If it bleeps and flashes then you have got it to do 100% of what it needs to do for a real man.
