I found it after I bought my MPx200, and found it via a Google search for MPx200.

Contrary to what I think the most common answer is going to be, Google, I found it through another Smartphone forum. When I first decided to try out a MS Smartphone, the MPx200 wasn't yet available. So I got the cheapest one I could find, an Orange SPV (the first, original retail MS Smartphone). Through Yahoo searching (I still used Yahoo instead of Google back then, it was that long ago) I found MSMobiles.com. I didn't really like the site, so I went searching again and found Modaco.
After I had my SPV for a couple months I decided it was time for an upgrade, and that was shortly after the MPx200 came out. I got a MPx200, and in the process of reading up about it over at Modaco I saw posts to www.mpx200.org (which became MGN). So I joined up and have been coming every day since.

Sean,
I've wondered for a long time how you were the site founder, but "Member No. 2"?????
I found MGN through Google as well, and had been a long time reader of the site for info until I decided to register recently.

Ahh yes, the member # 2 thing, that bugs me too. Member #1 was a hidden super admin that was instituted by the old PostNuke software we used in the original MPx200.org site. This user was there in case the admin accounts got hacked, I could log in as the super admin and set it all back right. When we migrated to the Invision Power Systems software a year ago, this user number one was lost in the conversion because it was hidden from the converter. So here I am, number 2. I thought about changing it once time but the amount of work involved (every post is tied to a member number, not a name) was not worth the effort so that I could be cool number one.

I think I found it through another forum. This was before I got my 200 in December 2003. Notice my nice, low member number?

Google here as well, as I needed a new phone and decided that I wanted the mpx200 more than any other phone. After some newbie questions and some ebay work i recieved the third mpx200 i know of in Norway.

Met an IT guy who had one. He came in to do some work on one of my customer's laptop while we worked on his plane.
