Motorola QA4 Evoke goes on sale at Alltel
At first glance you might be tempted to give Motorola's newest slider a pass, but we had a chance to check it out at CTIA a couple weeks back, and it's actually one helluva phone. The QA4 Evoke combines a numeric slider keypad with a full touchscreen in a vaguely PEBL-like package, offering EV-DO, a 2 megapixel cam, AGPS, A2DP, and naturally, microSD expansion -- and now, it can be yours on Alltel for $99.99 on contract. Of course, not everyone lives in an Alltel service area, so let's hope someone else has the foresight to pick it up, yeah?[Thanks, Ben]
Motorola Evoke QA4 hands-on with video
When you look at the Motorola Evoke QA4, the last thought that springs to mind is RAZR, and that's such a good thing. Let's face it, long live the RAZR, but its time is past, though, we're over the moon to see Moto step up with a piece of hardware that's made us genuinely happy excited about Moto (well, Aura aside) in a long while. While it is an EVDO handset, and our travel often makes us lean toward distinctly more GSM-flavored devices, we're throwing it all to wind and will be rushing to get our hands on one. The layout in-hand is frickin' ideal, the material choices, finish, and style are just so well executed that we found ourselves fairly stunned when we first got out mitts on it. The capacitive screen works extremely well for flipping through apps, surfing, messaging, and the keyboards (both landscape and portrait are here) work very well. Honestly, what's not to like? Motorola's new slider is without a doubt going to be a winner when it lands. Here's hoping we hear where and for how much soon, but in the interim feel free to check the gallery and absorb some of the video goodness that is the Evoke in action.
Motorola Evoke QA4 gets official
We first caught sight of this one back in February, and again earlier this month courtesy of the FCC, but it looks like Motorola's QA4 has now finally gotten fully official and, well, there it is. Now formally dubbed the Motorola Evoke QA4, this one packs a decently-sized 2.8-inch WQVGA touchscreen, along with quad-band CDMA connectivity (plus EVDO Rev A), a 2 megapixel camera, 256MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot for expansion, aGPS, stereo Bluetooth, and, of course, that stylish sliding keypad. Unfortunately, Motorola still hasn't gotten official with a price or an exact release date, but the company is promising to get it out the door sometime in the second quarter of this year. Head on past the break for a closer look at the phone all closed up.
Motorola QA4 touchscreen slider clears the FCC
Motorola hasn't exactly been doing that great a job keeping this one secret, but it looks like its QA4 handset is doing its best to make itself known, and it has now made its latest, still-not-official showing courtesy of the FCC. As you can see above, the phone looks quite a bit different than those earlier unofficial photos, but the actual specs remain largely unchanged, with it boasting what appears to be the same 2.8-inch touchscreen, along with a tri-band CDMA / EVDO radio, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, a camera (we're assuming the same 2-megapixels), and a microSD card slot for expansion. Somewhat interestingly, there's no indication of that rumored accelerometer in the user manual, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not still tucked in there somewhere. Hopefully Motorola will clear that, and a whole lot more, up when it finally gets official with the handset, which we're guessing should be happening sooner rather than later.[Via Phone Scoop]
Motorola's QA4, VE66LX, and QA1 dash onto the scene, rumor-style
Yeah, wow's the word from Motorola as they purportedly prepare to release the good (right), the fat (you guess), and the gaudy as the QA1, QA4, and VE66LX. Of course we don't have much of anything in the way of specs -- on any of them -- but the QA4 is obviously an EV-DO set with a fairly big 2.8-inch touchscreen, the VE66LX, a gilded and gaudy take on the VE66, and the QA1? Well, it looks huge, and we'd guess it rotates rather than slides and judging by the branding all over it, is coming to AT&T. Hopefully more word soon on these three, though we've honestly no clue when that might take place.[Thanks, robin of loxley]
Motorola's VE465, ZN300, QA4 and VE66 Lux get one step closer to officialdom
So, there's good news and not-so-awesome news. As for the former, we've got four new Motorola handsets that look to be as good as definite. As for the latter, there's only a sliver of a chance you'll actually be interested in owning one. That said, those looking for a new dumbphone (and unwilling to wait for the bounties sure to unfold at Mobile World Congress) can have a gander at the VE465, ZN300, QA4 and VE66 Lux. Unfortunately, the only one which has bothered to show its whole self (and not just its face) is the above pictured VE465, which we already knew was on the way courtesy of the FCC. Prep your best yawn and hit the read link if you're ready for more.
Motorola QA4 Halo outed by Bluetooth SIG, early details begin to flow
If there were two entities we just couldn't do without, they'd certainly be the FCC and Bluetooth SIG. The latest handset to be revealed courtesy of the latter is Motorola's QA4 Halo, and thanks to a particularly insightful individual over at HoFo, we've even got a few purported details to pore over. We're told to expect a 2.8-inch 400 x 240 resolution (touchscreen?) display, a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD card slot, USB 2.0, a CDMA / EV-DO radio, customizable widgets, Bluetooth 2.0 and a built-in accelerometer. Alright Moto, the secret's out -- how's about an official release?[Via CellPassion]
