AT&T Motorola MPx200 Smartphone -- For Free ??

This phone is $50 after rebate from Amazon.com and another $50 rebate if you sign a 2yr contract with AT&T.

I don't know how these phones work.  I don't have one and I have never talked to anyone who has one either.  But for *free* I just might go pick one up for myself!  I currently use Sprint as a carrier, but I would be willing to switch to AT&T for a cool phone.

If anyone has one of these phones and is willing to provide some feeback, that would be cool!

Be careful about the "break your contract fee". Generally if your current contract is still going you'll be charged a good chunk of change to break it.

Funny your should ask - I just wrote about my experience today....Personal opinion is AT&T should be paying people to use them...check out the note on my log.

Good luck!

I bought one for my wife, and have written a good bit about my experience on my blog at http://weblogs.asp.net/gad/.

Bottom line is that it's a nice phone, but AT&T stinks, and they don't appear to be getting any better. Once I switched the phone over to T-Mobile, we've had no problems with it. Yes, I'm disappointed that it doesn't have .NET, but that's true of all (both) of the smartphones currently available in the U.S. I'll be waiting until next year to replace my phone (an XDA running Windows Mobile 2003), assuming it lasts that long (dropped it for the nth time last month, and it's getting a little flaky).

If you don't mind the lack of .NET, and you're willing to pay the price for the phone sans service agreement, the MPx is a nice device, when used with T-Mobile.

I got this deal, yes the phone was essentially free, but AT&T is horrible. Two things - if I am inside a large building like a Best Buy, Publix, or even a Blockbuster, I get no signal. Second - I made 3 411 calls on the phone because I broke down. They charged me 3, 4, and 12 (!!!!) minutes for the calls. How long do those operators have to get you the number - 20 seconds? Well, I got charged 12 minutes and when I called up and complained, they said I went over because I needed a plan with more minutes. AT&T stinks - I regret getting this phone because of that.
