The Motorola A1200, better known as the Motorola MING, is the latest Linux-based smartphone from Motorola. With a very attractive transparent flip design, 2.0 megapixel camera, and a handy business card reader feature, the MING is indeed a very capable phone on paper, but does it deliver?The MING features sleek curves and clean lines throughout its design. Apart from the transparent flip, the phone is encased entirely in a soft touch rubber compound.


Frequent readers of the site will know how much we love this material on our phones, as it not only gives us good grip but makes our phones more scratch resistant as well. With chromed plastic linings on the hinge and sides, the MING looks all class and ready for business. It is solidly built, with a battery cover that attaches firmly to the back of the phone.
