Motorola Q2, EDGE Q to take center stage at 3GSM

by Chris Ziegler posted Jan 23rd 2007 at 2:18PM

Anyone out there still care about getting their hands on the GSM / EDGE Q pictured after the break? Anyone at all? Come on now, don't be shy. Alright, well, anyhoo, Moto's recent webcast detailing its 2007 financial outlook makes mention of just such a device, brining all that love Verizon customers have been enjoying for many moons now to GSM users -- minus the 3G radio, of course. Perhaps the more provocative announcement, though, involves the mysterious Q2 (is that pronounced Q squared?), a device whose formal introduction is promised for 3GSM next month. All we know for now is that it'll come in EV-DO and HSDPA (finally!) flavors, but if we were the betting type, we'd say that this hullabaloo probably has something to do with the "Norman" we saw a while back. Anyone holding off on BlackJack purchases until this all gets sorted out?

It would be awesome if the Q-squared were the Q-pro, had a faster processor, and ran on GSM...

It would have to be pretty compelling to pull me away from my BlackJack.

Wow it is a good thing I got a Q a month ago! Not!

Well the good thing is that Verizon will give me a trade in of approximately ... Nothing if I want the new Q.

Ok no offense to the last poster but what makes you think you deserve a trade-in? No major company on the market today offers you a trade discount and to be honest, Verizon is one of if not the best in terms of giving discounts for upgrades. If you ask customer service, you might be eligible to get an early upgrade which would give you the new 2 year pricing for the new Q but come on, let's not complain that you won't get any money back for a device you haven't even had for a full year.

Over at Phonescoop the phone is listed as having A-GPS. Will this be the first PDA to have built-in turn-by-turn GPS?
I still don't know why Verizon would even bother offering any PDA. Does anyone really spend $40 a month extra to access the web through their Verizon phone? The only thing worse is what Cingular charges.
