The A1200 MotoMing was a Linux Java powered handset that was unveiled by fashion designer Vivienne Tam at a launch event in Shanghai in December 2005. It had a distinctive design with a clear plastic flip lid covering a 2.4-inch QVGA (320 x 240) TFT LCD 262K colour touchscreen display.
Motorola positioned the phone as being well suited to music lovers with Bluetooth stereo support and a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack.
The phone featured a 1.3-megapixel camera which had a small mirror just below the camera lens to allow users to more easily take selfie pictures. The camera could also be used as a business-card scanner.
The phone was initially designed for the Chinese market and had handwriting recognition software and virtual keyboards for English, Pinyin, and Zhuyin.
