The Motorola (NYSE: MOT) MING A1200. Years ago, the mention of the A1200 conjured up images of an exotic touchscreen smartphone running an even more exotic Linux operating system. Today, the MING A1200 is a bit of a relic in the mobile world. Motorola has pumped out new MING hardware since the A1200, but this is the first time we’ve laid eyes on the MING A1200’s next-in-line successor – the Motorola MING A1210.
Just like its predecessor, the MING A1210 sports a flip form-factor. The A1210 features a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, 3.1-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, FM radio, USB and a microSD card slot. And, just like the original MING, the A1210 runs on a custom Linux operating system. Unfortunately, the tri-band GSM radio will keep this MING A1210 from cracking the US mainstream market.
