3 smart, new cutting-edge phones: Motorola’s MPx200 Smartphone, Nextel’s i730 and Siemens SL56
image This year, the arrival of autumn also marks the arrival of new and exciting cellular phone designs — especially three terrific phones being offered by AT&T Wireless, Cingular and Nextel.

LET’S START WITH the first Microsoft Smartphone to be sold in the United States. Last week, Motorola announced the MPx200 cellular phone for the AT&T Wireless network. The MPx200 runs on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2002 operating system, a paired down version of the Pocket PC handheld computer operating system. (Microsoft is a partner in MSNBC.)

There are two angles to discuss here: the hardware (the actual handset) and the software (what the phone can do). As for the hardware, Motorola has come up with a well-crafted little device. This is a flip-phone made to run on the 1.8 GHz (foreign) and 1.9 GHz (U.S.) GSM/GPRS (voice/data) phone networks. The handset itself is barely 3.5 by 1.9 by 1.1 inches and weighs 4 ounces. Inside, there’s 32MB of memory and a SD/MMC card slot for extra storage.
