Import a Motorola A1200 for nearly that much

by Ryan Block posted Feb 22nd 2006 at 4:24PM

Motorola A1200s here, get yer Moto A1200s. Sure, it might set you back almost as many dollars as its namesake ($900, to be exact), but if you're willing to put up with a measly 8MB of built in flash memory and a 312MHz Xscale as counterbalance to that 2.4-inch QVGA display, and MicroSD slot, you probably run with some HoFo bros, or the kind of crowd who knows it's all status, and not a ton of function. And to you we ask: where do you get the kind of money to afford a phone like this, anyway?

[Thanks, Rajiv]

nice howard reference. and why would I even want this phone? I don't get those hofo kids and their exclusivity. Well, I used to get it, but it got old.

I'm with #2, except I never "got it." Recall all the kids who spent their retail paychecks on the $600 RAZR's when it came out.

900 bucks is a bit steep but it is pretty nice

It looks pretty cool, but the one thing I don't like about many smartphones (including this one) is the lack of a physical keypad of any kind. Even the keypad done in the style of the Treo or Blackberry is preferable in my mind to the idea of using the touchscreen to punch the numbers.

Found a site that is selling them for $650. Now I want one more.
