Talk:Motorola MING A1200i

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] I don't understand this:

MING is an appropriate name for this Linux-based smartphone...

Why is this? Could someone add some context? Tmorrisey 01:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, my guess is that it's a reference to the British slang usage of 'ming' -'Maebmij 03:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Motorola A1200 has been launched in other parts of the world. In Latin American countries, eg Brazil and Colombia, the A1200i (note the i) is known as MOTOTASK. --CesarCardoso 20:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I think "MING is an appropriate name for this Linux-based smartphone" was a reference to the Chinese translation of it meaning "bright". It sounded spammy, or at the very least a subjective opinion that has no place in an encyclopedia, so I removed it. Ttrygve 15:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
