A1200 (MING)

Overview

A1200 MING combines a transparent cover, handwriting touchscreen and Linux platform, representing Motorola’s distinctive business-phone design.

Period and variants

This record covers the original 2006 A1200, documented by an owner review in March; the exact first retail day is unverified. A1200i-specific EDGE and equaliser features are kept separate.

The clear cover contains the earpiece. Input uses the touchscreen and stylus; the camera has a manual normal/macro switch. The reported 64MB describes system and file-storage allocation, not verified RAM. The battery entry refers specifically to the reviewed 850mAh BT50. The photograph illustrates the series’ exterior rather than identifying a regional radio variant.
