Gadget Review: The Ming A1200 Cellphone

In this era of technological wonders, one wonders what the next big thing will be. In the area of cellphones, the answer is the Ming A1200, or just Ming for short. This cellphone will satisfy a broad range of digital enthusiasts, and will even interest the average phone user.

Description -

The Ming A1200 is a beautifully designed cellphone that is fairly easy to use. It sports a clamshell design like many other cellphones, but the screen is on the bottom instead of the top. The top part of the flip-top is made of plastic; it's main purpose is to simply protect the touchscreen from dust and scratches.

All information is entered using the touchscreen, so if you despise touch screens then don't buy this cellphone. There are only three real buttons on the front part of the cellphone, and they are not really needed. Unlike the iPod, the Ming's touchscreen is smaller(around two inches in length and width).

But everything is still easy to read and work with. The Ming comes with a stylus, and it fits snugly in the back of the cellphone. As for color, the Ming currently comes in blue, red, or black. Silver chrome also decorates parts of the phone.

The Ming also uses a micro SD card. It basically allows you to store more photos, videos, games; etc on your cellphone. The maximum memory size that the Ming can currently use is 2 GB, and this should be enough for most people.

What You Can Do With this Cellphone -

The answer is quite a bit. First, the Ming can do all of the things that other cellphones can do and then some. Call quality is great, and if you experience any trouble in this area then there is something wrong with your carrier. The software that the Ming uses is Linux, and it works fine. You may have to adjust some of the cellphone settings if you're in the United States since many of the Mings have shipped from China. But overall, it's no big deal.
