Amp'd first started talking up
its upcoming Q a couple weeks back, and thanks to LetsTalk.com and a circulating rebate form, we have some information on pricing now, too. The "MOTO Q, Amp'd Edition" -- or simply "Q," if you're lazy like us -- will go out the door for a nickel under $200 before the application of a $100 rebate. The ubiquitous Windows Mobile Smartphone has some interesting tricks up its sleeves this time around, too (as well it should, considering that this is one of the first times the device has been explicitly marketed away from its business user roots), utilizing a
Flash Lite-based app as its primary user interface. Of course, the handset will offer all of Amp'd's rich content, comes in black (more hip than the original silver -- black is the new black, after all), and should find its way into buyers' hands before the month is out.
[Thanks, hajmola]

it's going to be interesting to see how they will replace the windows mobile user interface with their own. i said "interesting" not "cool/good"

i work for an ampd dealer and we have ours in. ive been playing around with it and its amazing. it still uses the basic windows mobile its not replaced or anything. but for playing music and using ampd live it has the new interface. its 399 without a contract and with an 18 month contract its 100 bucks after the mail in rebate. other than that all the specs are the same as the verizon q

Some online ampd authorized retailers already have the phone on sale - $99.99 after $100 rebate. But it could be quite expensive if you want to get the all you can eat voice and data plan - $150.00/month.
