Motorola Moto A1600 MING2 Touchscreen Cell Phone with Talking Dictionary

According to rumours surfacing around the net, Motorola is due to release a new, updated version of their MING smartphone, known, somewhat predictably, as the MING2, in China sometime in February in a bid to cash in on the MING’s runaway success in the ever expanding and extremely lucrative Chinese cellular market.

The MING2, also known as the Moto A1600, is a Linux powered Quadband ultra thin (a mere 17.5 mm in thickness) clamshell smartphone which comes with Wi-Fi, integral GPS based navigation, a touchscreen complete with handwriting recognition, a 3.2 megapixel camera with both autofocus and flash and, would you believe, even a talking dictionary (certainly not something many cell phone offer out of the box).

Whilst not quite as desirable as Motorola’s Razor or their Razor2 (or, potentially, their Z10 Rizr?), if you have a burning desire to own a talking dictionary in your pocket this could be the cell phone for you (though non-Chinese consumers will have to hope that unlocked versions of the handset become as freely available as the original MING has proven to be).
