Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Looks like the Motorola Q have some competition with it's new form factor. The i320 has just been announced. This device has EDGE and Bluetooth etc as standard but they have opted for a microSD fitted internally so you have to remove the battery while the SIM can be accessed without removing it. Not many other details at the moment but hopefully more will come soon. Here is the i320 next to the Motorola Q Source Phonescoop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HerpezP Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 This looks quite nifty - the Motorola Q almost looks huge in comparison :) Some more specs: 111 x 59 x 11.5 mm 95 g 1.3 megapixel camera http://gsmarena.com/samsung_i320-1442.php http://www.newmobile.nl/eur/en/phone.php?phone_id=17ed8a9 NewMobile lists the weight as 86 g (all other sources I have seen says 95 g) and they also list the camera as flash and auto-focus enabled - auto-focus in a 11.5 mm housing would be quite an achievement in my eyes, if that turns out to be true. On a sidenote - with these thin devices it seem that they have no other place to put the loudspeakers but at the back, which, I assume, isn't that great if you want to lay your phone somewhere while using them.

Developers should be making new games compatable with other resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennish Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 i likee. The size and layout is much nicer than the q. also isn't the q meant to be on hold indefinitely or something? I just think a ppe phone edition would have been nice (but that's just me) and a square screen instead of the widescreen. Buttons are definitely cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leobg Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 i320 looks much better IMO. Keyboard looks better too. Quality looks higher... Look at the space under the screen of i320 - looks like it is ready for square (320x320 I hope!) screen in some of the next versions. I am not Samsung lover, but if I have to choose between Q and i320 I'd go with the sammy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Socrates Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Is it me or does that keyboard have no letters on it, just numbers and symbols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 It's you :) If you look very closely the letters (qwerty layout) are there below the numbers in a light grey\silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nyillustrator Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Developers should be making new games compatable with other resolutions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah but no one has ported Wolf/Doom or Quake for that res.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Is doom really that inportant? it would only be a matter of time until someone decided to make the port but it's not really that important. The important thing is for new software to be written to include the different screen resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pmk24 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 not to sure about this as its only me thinking but I wonder if they will let you rotate the screen to 240x320 (normal QVGA) for things like games and native non-scale apps? Designing games for this new resolution may mean a 240x240 graphics game with side boarders. Wouldnt mind a go of one of these to see how current applaications react to its res.

Guest MitchellO Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I seriously think Motorola have left their Q too long. The Samsung is even smaller, which was their main marketing point. Another slow release by Motorola, and I think this one will cost them a bit. Personally, I would chose the Samsung.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I can see the Q going the same way as the MPX! I really liked the idea of the Q, however i'm loving the smaller i320. I use my kjam keyboard all the time for texting and web browsing, so i think its the i320 thats my new iwantone for the moment!
