Motorola’s Ming 2 in Q2

Motorola has introduced its new PDA phone Motorola Ming 2. It is going to launch in 2008, the handset will be introduced in high-end and entry-level configurations – unfortunately, both are GSM/EDGE, not 3G capable.

The new Ming looks absolutely fantastic. The new A1600 MING 2 will sport essentially the same design philosophy of its forebear, but will be packing in the goods - 3.2 mega pixel camera (with auto focus and LED flash), quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio, WiFi, AGPS, talking dictionary (the A1200 was a hit with the Chinese set, after all), and a faster CPU.

The CPU has also undergone an upgrade, so it should be faster than A1200. The phone will be approximately 17.5 mm thick making it slimmer than the original.
