Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 You heard it here first... the very, very, very cool Motorola Q Smartphone will be launching on CDMA in the USA before becoming available on GSM in Europe. Boo :D It is super-sexy tho, so worth the wait :) P
Guest Socrates Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 How big is that thing. The picture there just looks like a treo or Blackberry. If I wanted something big I would just get a PPC. I use an MS Smartphone mostly for the massive features in a tiny one-handed operation form factor. I've been hoping for a CDMA version of some HTC phones the Tornado or whatever since CDMA (Verizon) has a better network out here than Cingular's GSM. That would be great, but I assume it will just remain a dream.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I disagree about the GSM vs CDMA, Cingular vs Verizon....but I agree with you about the phone. I have not been more disinterested in a phone since the VOQ.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Maybe if it had a 480x480 screen and was PPC. Then the extra width would be worth it. I dont know....I really need to see one in the flesh
Guest dearsina Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I think it looks very interesting, but I'm worried that with this phone, the manufacturers are finally saying, the US market is more interesting than the European, and the lead we've had in mobile technology, since forever, is eroding.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 FINALLY! It's our turn for a change! :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Do not underestimate how thin it is... it feels great in the pocket! P
Guest nickcornaglia Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Wait....does that mean you have a GSM version? When are you having another sale? :)
Guest pierre Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 Do not underestimate how thin it is... it feels great in the pocket! P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see. Then I guess it's a nice unit :) Is there a link to the specs?
Guest bradmatejo Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 Do not underestimate how thin it is... it feels great in the pocket! P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you're saying the vibrate works well... good to know.
Guest martinot Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 Arrgggh... :evil: Would love to have that phone for GSM now... not in half a year! martin
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 I don't have one, I did have a play with one and do a 'pocket test' :) P
Guest MadSci Posted December 26, 2005 Report Posted December 26, 2005 FYI, for the Naive amongst us, I recently found a whole slew of Motorola Q's for sale on ebay, both CDMA & GSM. ;) Of course, you had to pay via Western Union, and the "Seller" was in Croatia, even thought their ebay handle put them in the UK, an the phones were in Los Vegas. :idea: When I informed them they were 'Busted', all but one of the ebay ads disappeared within the hour. :evil: Seems like ebay's not doing much to police this sort of thing, so I thought it might be worth mentioning in case soemone was tempted to try and scarf up a "Q" before they hit Verizon. Be careful out there Kiddies :roll:
