The Motorola MPx200 is the company's first phone for the Microsoft Smartphone platform. Key features include an external display and an internal antenna. Most of the phone's other features are standard to Microsoft's platform.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the phone. For some reason, the photos I had seen make it look rather large, but it's actually reasonably small. Not tiny, to be sure, but I would say on par with most average clamshells these days. It feels about the same size in hand and pocket as the Sanyo 8100.

One disappointment about the MPx200 is the display. It is spec'd as a TFT LCD, supporting 65,000 colors, but it did not look as good as most TFT 65,000-color LCDs I have seen. It wasn't terrible - it didn't look like an STN display - but it was a bit on the dim side and slightly slow. I was expecting better.
