Motorola’s MING series of Linux-OS based handsets may not be sold outside of China, but there they apparently sell like the proverbial hot cakes.  GSMArena has found images of the latest touchscreen MING, the A1600, which has GPS, WiFi and a 3-megapixel autofocus camera.  It also has the usual transparent clamshell cover and is fully stylus-controlled; things should move a little faster than before, too, as the A1600 apparently has a faster processor than its A1200 predecessor.

Of course, with China’s 3G licencing still undecided, the MING lacks high-speed cellular data; still, the quadband GSM device should find plenty of MING-hungry buyers, lured in by the device’s 17.5mm thickness and straightforward interface.

No word on availability or price from Motorola yet.
