Motorola Q gets slight tweaks

Here's what our US counterpart had to say at CES 2006: "We went to CES hoping to hear more about the Motorola Q (that is, when we can get our hands on one of these suckers) but left disappointed. Motorola didn't have a release date for us except for the generic 'Q1 2006', but the reps did show a slightly improved version of the smart phone.

"Now in its fourth or fifth iteration, the new hardware features a better keyboard that boasts slightly larger keys and brighter backlighting. Motorola has also confirmed that the Q will be shipping on CDMA first but won't disclose a carrier, but if all the speculation is right, it'll be Verizon."

Here's an update: The GSM version is expected in the second half of 2006.

Atom-killer on the loose?

Rumor has it that Dopod will be launching a handheld that sports similar features and dimensions as the upcoming O2 Xda Atom. We are not sure if this is just pure coincidence or smart marketing strategy on Dopod's part, but sales of the Atom will suffer for sure, if the new Dopod PDA-phone makes its rumored debut in mid-December. Watch out for more updates.
Our first impressions of the Atom

O2 Xda Atom spotted at SITEX

The much-anticipated O2 Xda Atom was spotted at O2's SITEX booth. The PDA-phone is available just for demo, however, and is expected to start shipping only in early December. However, those interested can make reservations through pre-sales orders at the booth.

The SITEX '05 fair was surprisingly not as crowded as we'd expect, though the location and Thursday being a work day were likely reasons for the less-than-usual crowd showing. For those looking for a new PDA, there were several good deals offered at the show, among them the HP iPaq hw6515, Palm LifeDrive and recently launched Dopod 900. Most can be found bundled with freebies ranging from Bluetooth headsets to GPS kits, to wireless keyboards.
