Design
The Ming is truly one of the cooler phones we're ever tested, thanks in large part to its transluscent, "Star Trek"-style cover. Flip it open and you'll find a jumbo-sized, 262,000-color display, which you can tap with the included stylus for surfing through the tabbed interface or dialing phone numbers. The Ming's colorful, intuitive menus looked great, and the phone itself felt light in our hands.
Features
One of Motorola's latest Linux-based handsets, the Ming arrives on the scene with a 2-megapixel camera, RealPlayer, stereo Bluetooth, microSD memory expansion and even a business card reader. The handset also comes with a cool "talking" dictionary; you just write a word on the screen with the stylus and the Ming reads in back to you in the language you choose, along with an on-screen definition -- nice. Still, we would have preferred that the EDGE-enabled Ming came with UMTS or HSDPA support.
