You all know this has been cancelled.

They are going for 3G instead and that will make it ready by Q3-Q4 2006.

But there will probably be a CDMA version out earlier.

I have a friend who works for Motorola and he gave me one. I have to say the phone is incredible. Yes it is missing Wi Fi but for the person who is concerned about size this phone is it. It is so thin you don't even realize it is in your pocket. The phone will be released on the Verizon network in about 6 months. They have since discontinued the GSM version since Verizon took the CDMA version and stopped the GSM version from being released. The phone is supposed to be released for about $750.00 when it comes out.

no wifi?!? it's pointless to buy a smartphone without wifi, especially if your a student using it for assignments and such.

lame, i'd rather get the new treo. shame this one really looked good.

I wonder how much it will cost? It's not the very best you can get, since is missing Wi-Fi and 3G, the screen isn't too big, but on the other hand we have that thin design - similar to V3, which will cost and we have Windows Mobile 5.0 Anyone has some information about the price?

It's good. It doesn't have Wi-Fi, so what?
I don't need it. I'm just looking for an eye-catching smartphone with rich multimedia, and is there a better one than a Razr-like shaped smartphone powered by Windows Mobile 5.0?

"Hey... news flash for all the complainers...
Blackberreis DO NOT have WiFi either." Actually, there is a blackberry with Wifi. Its the BlackBerry 7270. Its available only through Blackberry and even sports voip capabilities. It is however only available through Blackberry direct.

Ya laaaa....
I think motorola is jooking when they said phone with this kind of spec still under testing, still coming soon, 65k screen? others rushing out 16m,1.3m camera?polyphonic ringtones? got people still use polyphonic as their ring tones?

But I do agree, it got the look.

Oh ya, for people asking for touch screen?U all must kidding asking touch screen on a already small screen.

True the atom have touchscreen, 265k screen, bult in wifi, 2mp camera, flash, what is motorola thinking. This phone is king if released 6 motnhs ago. Kinda too late, now there is even no edge??? 65 k screen, 1.3 mgp camera and no touch screen. Motorola better change some specs or they will lose a large number of potetntial customer

By far, my personal opinion, if Moto not launch this product asap, their market will steal by xda atom, as O2 will launch atom on December, me also maybe will buy atom if have to wait this moto for another six month (even I am fanatic fans of Moto).

Fucntion wise i guess N61 beats this beauty but design wise i prefer this by far!! N91 also do not have camera and i hope the Qs camera will be good unlike all other motorola 1.3 megapixel crap.

how great is this phone compared to the Nokia E61? I'm having a tough time deciding which one, although I am a fan of Motorola.

It has bluetooth.

it just doesnt have wifi.

Would wish the wireless apps can store stuff to the card. ie vindigo, avantgo and email. cause the stock memory is pretty low.

The Motorola Q is most likely a replacement for people that screwed over by the defective MPx220. Since it uses the same MiniSD slot(instead of TransFlash, like most of Motorola's newest offerings) and has a lot of similarities with the MPx220 as well. I was one of those poor suckers who bought a MPx220, so I know all about their faulty P2K ports(quite possible the worst thing Motorola ever designed). I'm just glad that the Q doesn't use that worthless port.
