“The Motorola MING is quite the looker but when it came to performance, the sluggish and unfriendly Linux UI let it down. The exclusion of EDGE support is unfortunate. However, if you are a user of the previous A780, this might be a good upgrade for you since it is a wee bit faster and it does look much better. The business card reader application is also a cool piece of software.I can only give the MING a Recommended rating and only if you can live with the sluggishness and stylus-only input. There are not many Linux based smartphones out there, so this would be your best bet if Linux is your preferred OS.”
