[rescue] FT: Motorola MPx200 Smartphone

[Dan Sikorski]

If you haven't gotten rid of it yet, a friend of mine might be 
interested in the trade.  Let me know if it's still available.  
Alterenatively, i might be interested myself, but i don't have an xbox 
to trade, but i do have funds in paypal. :)
