Motorola Q launch deets leaked

by Paul Miller posted May 12th 2006 at 11:45PM

Purportedly originating from a Verizon Wireless site, full details on Motorola Q specs and launch price have been posted to a Phone Scoop forum, and things are looking up for the much-delayed device. No mention of the A2DP support listed in the manual on the FCC, and most of the other specs we already knew, but we were interested to see the listed battery life at only about 4 hours of usage time. Luckily there's nearly 9 days of standby time, and everything else seems pretty solid. However, we were most interested to see the prices, at a rumored $349 with a 1 year contract, $299 with a 2 year, and $419 with no contract at all. If all of this holds true, that's not too bad for a QWERTY Smartphone, and hopefully a trend we'll be seeing more of in the future. Now just release the dang thing!

i think the term flop has to be used only after the thing fails to sell. if it does well commercially, whic i think is still a possibility thats not a flop. that being said, releasing it on christmas time (05) as promised would have been much better

I think they waited too long to come to market with the Q and there isn't the buzz...they were too soon to release the spy photos. It's already old before it hit the shelves.

Its just a prediction.
Mind you, if sales are flagging, no doubt Moto will pump millions more into marketing to give it a boost

Recieved an email from Motorola today! Here is a sample: "Two-hundred forty-eight (248) Grand Prizes: a Motorola Q. ARV $499 each."

SO a) The Moto Q is about $500!!! Ouch!
and b) This site "findTheQ.com" is awsome! They ask trivia questions! SWEEET!
