Blue LED's!!!

[Guest midnight]

and will people stop referring to the voq as ugly (especially in topic titles), thats your opinion, do not push it onto others

[Guest James]

well i like the design.....

[Guest Jakob]

Photo of VOQ and HTC phone is not showing the E200 - the E200 has got a different cover design as seen in the picrture above..

The E200 is likely to have red LEDs I thought?

And the Voq - call a spade a spade... or is it more approriate to call it 'differently styled' or 'attractively challenged'?

It's political correctness gone mad I tell you! :wink:

[Guest Jakob]

It will be released with blue leds....

I just want to get my dirty mitts on both of them =p~

I like the design of the VOQ. I also love the idea of the built in qwerty keyboard, this alone is better than bluetooth & a built in camera (I would certainly use it more), but i do think they could have made it a tad smaller..

Any pictures of me on there?

what is t9 for? I really dont need the keyboard as compared to the camera and bluetooth which makes life so simpler....i am going for spv-2 as u all guys overall have rated it the best...

and if in a forum people cant call ug..... as ug..... then what the use....VOQ expected so late should atleast have something great in it....its so huge and ug.... for no reason

[Guest midnight]

i was more referring to the term ugly used in the title of the thread, not inside the threads, its just my feeling it shouldnt be used there ;)

[Guest morpheus2702]

Whenever I see the picture of the Voq with the keyboard open I am reminded of the Reapers from Blade 2.

read on gizmodo.......midnight u r right..... :)

REVOKE THE VOQ

We weren't exactly blown away when we Sierra Wireless announced their Voq cellphone running Microsoft's Smartphone operating system. Besides looking sorta cheap and not having Bluetooth or a built-in digital camera, after actually playing with one of the phones last week at Microsoft's Mobius conference (disclosure, Redmond covered our airfare and hotel) we also discovered that we weren't particularly impressed with the one feature of the phone that we thought we would like: its fold-out QWERTY keyboard. Upon closer inspection, the keyboard isn't very sturdy and lacks a backlight, which wouldn't be a big deal except that the keys are pretty hard to read, even in a relatively well-lit room. Apparently, we're not the only ones who feel that way; on his blog Om Malik posted an email from one of his readers trashing the phone and its design.
