[SunHELP] FT: Motorola MPx200 Smartphone

[Andre' Blanchard]

Hello:

I'd be interested if still available.  I do not have the trade-in options
you desire, however on my recent jaunt to the local mall, Electronic
Boutique had a large display of used gaming devices including the one you
mentioned.  I believe the price was $79.

Regards:

Andre'
