Motorola Q to be released May 22?

Posted by Bonnie Cha
We suspect a lot of you are sick of hearing about the Motorola Q, so we'll make this short and sweet. Engadget Mobile has reported that Verizon and Motorola will hold a joint press conference on May 22 in New York to announce the Q. The Wireless Advisor forum (via Qusers.com) has also projected the same introduction date, so here's hoping...

Hyped Out

Six months ago I would have been the first in line to buy a Q. Now, I am not sure I am even interested anymore. When I look at the picture of the Q it even looks a little outdated, bulky and badly designed. They are going to really have to work a strong price point to get my interest back. I think they may have hyped the poor thing out.

Sorry Asia and Europe

I doubt it will come out in Europe and Asia because at least with the CDMA version i belive they mostly use GSM and they will probably get it when they finish doing the FCC testing on the GSM but Motorola Says that a GSM version will be relased Late this YEAR...

Buisness User Beware!!

I was looking at this product in greater detail and i dont think its going to live up to the hype. First of all it runs Windows Smartphone Edition so it doesnt have All of Mobile Office software, Thats a real bummer. I dont which is better the toggle wheel or a touch screen??? And how i will have to check it out when it comes out...

It IS Coming soon

Just had a hands on training on this device. It is razor thin and runs Windows Mobile 5 SMARTPHONE edition. Just think of a razor thin blackberry type device running windows mobile. It is user friendly but with any new device you can always wish for more. For example smartphone edition lacks support for pocket office (excel word powerpoint) right out of the box. And what's this I hear about bluetooth headphones...

enter the Q continuim

Motorola is looking to be better at the pda side of the smart phone arena, but wright now that title belongs to Palm treo 650 and 700 because they do what needs doing with no fuss or muss and I beleive that Palm will come out quick to beat this fool piece in no short order, but time will tell

PLease Let This Be The Release Date!!!!!!!....

Been sitting around the past few months with my crappy blackberry with its faux crap querty board handheld and my chunky treo 650 with crap freezing. Motorola will be the savior. we know the products are always money all the way back to the classic v60. I've been salivating for the past four months trying to get my hand on one of these things> verizon and whO? wish tmobile would carry it. they suck but they have the superfly text and browsing deals on the cheap. all the other carriers seem to be pimping us with their obscene korea like price plans with the features we need. Please let it be the release? and please let it live up to the potential (that and the not yet out sansa sandisk 6gig that is the size of a nano but has 1000 more features. these two products will change my life in nyc for the better). Let it roll, Motorola. Let them phones roll, baby!!!!!
