Motorola Q Phone…
While passing through the cyberworld came across the Motorola Q phone which is going to be launched in the second quarter of 2006. This phone looks cool and features a qwerty keyboard. This keyboard will be mostly useful for the sms junkies. I think it will be a hit as our RAZR V3. The phone is powered by the windows mobile 5.0. I hope the price of this phone is affordable to me when it is launched. 
See below the specs and features of the phone from motorola’s site.
The First no-Compromises QWERTY
Today’s individuals and corporations are looking for mobility to give them an edge, and the new Q delivers. The world’s thinnest QWERTY, Q changes the playing field for mobile email devices by delivering a superior mobile office experience with no compromises. Combining quality voice, data, and multimedia in one amazing “RAZR-thin” package, Q helps make mobility = productivity.
Your Office Space, Any Place
With Q, corporations can bring mobile email to their entire organizations while mobile professionals can be confident they can be productive by having a quality phone and email experience in an innovative and stylish form factor. Q leverages Microsoft’s familiar and trusted Windows Mobile software and is among the first devices to run on the new Windows Mobile 5.0 platform which delivers scalable and cost-effective mobile messaging support with Exchange 2003 out of the box. This enables the device to work overtime to leverage existing corporate investments in infrastructure, training and support while continuing to protect office networks, data and applications.
RAZR-thin Look & Feel
Fifty percent thinner than its top competitors, Q is also lightweight and features electro-luminescent keys, QWERTY keyboard, thumbwheel for single-handed control, and internal antenna. Q also provides users the opportunity to balance work and play through additional features such as a large, vibrant, color screen, Web surfing capabilities, a 1.3 mega pixel camera with photo lighting, video and MP3 audio capabilities, and cool compatible Bluetooth®-enabled accessories like the new RAZRWIRE Bluetooth® eyewear.
The Ultimate Voice Experience
Motorola invented the mobile phone so you know we know voice! Leveraging Motorola’s expertise in RF technology, the new Q delivers the best phone experience you can get on a QWERTY. Featuring a high-quality speakerphone, voice-activated dialing and Bluetooth functionality, the Q enables hands-free multitasking for today’s busy work environment.

It looks neat and nice. So they named it Q for its QWERTY eh? I am gonna sue em for using my copyright name
I dont think PDA-style will do as good as sales in the standard market like RAZR or N series… its mostly due to price and weight perhaps… still I wud love to own a handy PDA
May be they named after you….

I have also got bored with the N series…

[...] This is w.r.t my last post in which I posted about Motorola Q Phone. Now when I came across this HP iPAQ hw6900 I started liking this much more than the Motorola phone primarily because of the huge display it offers. hmmm…. now I am in love with this phone. This damn good phone features a 416Mhz Intel processor. You know my first computer was only a Pentium II 350 Mhz. I wish it had a 262k colour screen but anyways it doesnot matter much. Find below the features of this phone. [...]
[...] Some time back I had posted about the specifications and features of the Motorola Q Phone. Now that the phone has been launched in the market, I have found a nice review of this phone and it is worth reading. The Q excels in its hardware specs and capabilities. The 2.5 inch screen features a 320×240 resolution at 65k colors contained in a 2.5 inch wide and 0.45 inch thick housing weighing only 4 ounces. At 2.5 inches wide, the Q feels a little awkward to hold at first. As one reviewer put it, using the Q can feel like you’re talking to a piece of bathroom tile. However, the Q is much more tolerable than the brick form factor of the Treo 700. There is a mini QWERTY keyboard with adequately spaced out keys, allowing me to pump out enormous text messages in a fraction of the time it would take on a regular cell phone. Yet, the send/end keys above the keyboard feel a bit mushy, are awkwardly placed and lack sufficient tactile feedback. [...]
