haha...that's one of your best ones yet...but, as for the article, I would be absolutely stoked if this was coming to Sprint, but is there any real confirmation of that? I read the article as just saying the phone is coming out on EV-DO...which EV-DO is a technology Verizon and Sprint offer. Remember, Sprint only recently began carrying Motorola phones again and I would be very surprised if the Q was one of their first ones. With the 700p coming and possibly the 700w, I doubt the Q will be landing on Sprint shelves anytime soon.]]>May 16th 2006 8:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 16th 2006 9:17PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 16th 2006 9:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 16th 2006 9:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 16th 2006 11:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 16th 2006 11:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/
Anyway, the Q looks somewhat enticing, but like Runbuh implied, without AKU2 it's a no-go for many businesses, like mine.]]>May 17th 2006 12:51AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 8:33AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 12:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 2:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 2:46PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 5:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 9:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/May 17th 2006 10:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/16/motorola-q-is-set-for-launch-next-week/The q site is up at Verizon:

And don't get me wrong, it's not because we're just ga ga over the bricks on our hips; far from it. It's just that when you have the choice between BB (tested and proven secure) and (insert solution name here) (not nearly as secure), corporations don't even have a choice. They can't even afford to attach the devices to their networks if *you* shell out the bux to pay for them yourself. Too much risk for the corporate network.

Bottom line, it's a non-starter without AKU2. And even with AKU2, it's going to take quite the crowbar to unseat RIM.]]>May 22nd 2006 3:38AM
