- MoTo Q coming to cricket -

[GalinKinlin]

Talked to my local dealer again, the motorola q is coming to cricket very very soon....maybe a month or so

Also had that chance to play with the krzr cricket phone...very nice
gunmetal color/ silver it sells for $349.00 which is pretty expensive

Also he said that the q might actualy run for 400 dollars ! I nearly died, thats a ton of money for a phone on cricket service i said....it will have internet capabilities though....

will keep everyone updated when i get more info...

I say BRING IT!

Stupid question, but is the Moto Q a Windows Mobile device?

[vespers]

Does this mean I can get an XV6700 On cricket and have full web? I want to be able to stream music with by Stereo BT Headphones, and I won't take the plunge until I can get full web.


I wish someone would trade me my Drift, 1GB Sd card, and 3batteries for an XV6700.

I don't care what kind of new phones come out as long as they get something with a QWERTY keyboard, etc MoTo Q has this. Otherwise all that web stuff, IM, TEXT is a pain and so is trying to send email.

As I understand it, WinMo 5.0, with software upgrades as necessary.

I'm pretty dang impressed if Cricket really is getting this phone. Since this is a windows OS, game console emulating software can be loaded into it. :clapping:

...not to mention the more practical uses.

Been reading the specs on Moto's site. It doesn't appear to have a touch-sensitive screen. Damn!

I want handwriting recognition and a retractable keypad: The UTStarcom PPC6600 to me has the perfect form factor, minus the gawky antenna. And yes, I DO want Rome!

Tempting as it might be, I think I'll pass on the Moto Q for now...

:reallysad

I agree, but at least one of those models should have a retractable/foldable keypad: I, for one, don't want to hold a flat brick to the side of my face.

But hopefully, a Cricket-native Moto Q would open Pandora's box on the whole Cricket WAP conundrum. In that case, I'd give my left arm for a UTStarcom PPC 6700.

I actually had a Q at one point which I as trying to reflash to work with cricket. I too liked its size and features but didnt like the idea of a jog wheel instead of a touchscreen. After many attempts I returned the phone and picked up the 6700... Glad I did :2thurabs:

Yeah, I can see your point. Just wish I knew if/when Cricket plans to release more SmartPhones/PPCs. I really need to ditch this remix, and the 6265i was an obvious choice until this hooplah started. It's doubtful I can convince the wife to allow me to purchase more than one phone this year... and the last thing I want is another case of "buyer's remorse".

Does anyone know anything else about the rumor that Cricket's going to add 15+ phones to their miniscule lineup this year?

me too : )
