A question about ROM version. Read a few topic about ROM version. It seems you guys are talking about Ver 1.XX. I just got my MPX220 from eBay UK. It was a SIM free handset without SIM/app locking, as seller claimed. There is no operator logo. Its ROM version is 4.21.1088. I take this is Ver 4.21? Why is it so different?
BTW, how to use the camera bottom on the right side? I read the manual, not even mention this function.

The ROM version number you listed is the version of Windows Mobile you have on your phone, in this case 4 which is what WM2003's WM version number is. To find out what ROM you are running on your phone look at your Manufactuer version. That number is the ROM version you are running.

There is no camera on the bottom right side. That is your IR port.

In 'About', there is a line 'Manufacturer: 1.280.0.0'. That is ROM ver 1.28?

Yes, that's ROM 1.28. I would highly recommend upgrading the ROM to a newer one. That's one of the older, buggier ROMs.

I juwtst got it for two days so have not yet found big issues, except I feel it is much slower than my MPX200 when switch off programmes using Resource manager. Are ther any way I can back up GPRS setting before upgrade? Thanks

There are several ways to make sure your GPRS is working after a ROM update. First, and easiest, is to update to the newest official ROM for your carrier. Then the settings would already be in there. Second is to go in to the GPRS settings and copy them down so you can manually put them in after the flash. Third, you could find out if there are any .cab files to input the settings for your. Here on MGN we have .cab files to input the settings for T-Mobile and Cingular. There may be others out there, I'm not certain.
