Motorola MPx220 coming back to Cingular in June?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

Heard a Rumor that the Motorola MPx220 was coming back to Cingular in June?

Anyone else hear about it?

Thanks,

Its been kind of an on-again off again saga... They merged with it, sold it
themselves [Cingular] and then discontinued it, and not have it back on the
Coming Soon list.

You can get them from places that have left over stock, though I believe
most are the original Versions. I've hear many complaints about the
batteries and not keeping contact, though no word about if its an issue that
will be fixed. I've seen a post or two about people putting paper in the
patter compartment to help with the issue.

I know there was also some Bluetooth issues with it. Those were supposed to
be fixed with the latest firmware.

Other then that, I'm not sure what's going on... A post from the Cingular
Newsgroup said that the rep they contacted said June/July for the new
re-release.

Motorola's website for the phone has changed a bit too.
