Motorola Q - To Kill The BlackBerry

God Father · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2006, 11:52 AM

Motorola aimed at Blackberry with this new 115gram, 116x63x11.5mm phone - the MotoQ. This is the thinnest QWERTY phone till date. It has got dual stereo speakers, a 1.3MP camera with flash (not at all bad for a business phone).

Summary of Key Features

Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0; Optimized for Microsoft Exchange 2003 and a variety of third party email solutions that enable a broad set of corporate email capabilities
Thinnest QWERTY device in the world – 11.5mm
Full, ergonomic QWERTY keyboard, 5-way navigation button and thumb wheel
Video clip capture and playback
Connectivity via Bluetooth, IrDA and mini-USB; compatible with Motorola's line of Bluetooth-enabled wireless headsets
Multi-Media Messaging (MMS)
Dual, stereo-quality speakers
Audio formats supported: iMelody, MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, WMA, WAX, QCELP
Image formats supported: GIF87a, GIF89a, JPEG, WBMP, BMP, PNG
Video formats supported: H.263, MPEG-4, GSM-AMR, AAC, WMV
Mini-SD removable memory card slot
Large, high-resolution display (320 x 240 pixels, 65K TFT)
1.3 mega pixel camera with photo lighting
PIM functionality with Picture Caller ID
Advanced speech recognition and speakerphone

This phone lacks Wi-Fi and 3G support which is really a minus for today's business phone. Though this phone is announced in July, 2005, there are no indications of its release till the end of 2006!

It looks cool but I doubt it can kill BlackBarry

Yeah because it's too skinny, people like something a bit more wide to type their emails on.

Atleast Motorola claims Q is "phonecentric," offering users the ability to dial calls from e-mails or text messages and the ability to operate the device with buttons similar to those on regular cell phones as well a jog wheel on the side for one-handed navigation.

CrackBerry as it is popularly known, the Blackberry has addictive qualities as an e-mail device, but some critics have complained about its capabilities as a phone.

Lets see how it goes.
