After a series of delays, Verizon Wireless has announced May 31st as the official ship date for the hotly anticipated Motorola Q. The slim-smartphone was first intended to ship early in Q1 and will be an exclusive to Verizon when it begins shipping. While originally touted as a "BlackBerry killer", the Q's biggest target could be the Treo 700w, which also runs a Microsoft OS.
Features of the Motorola Q include:
Verizon Wireless will be selling the Q for $199 after 2-year service agreement and a $100 instant rebate. That pricing point appears to be tied to having unlimited data in your plan, but still comes in well below all other similar devices.
Carl, it's shipping later this month. They would never announced a ship date over a year away.
Mayo is May in Spanish, not March. Pretty bad mistake.
I think the point of comment #1 is because the post says "March 31st". It's confusing considering it's already May unless you meant Mar. 31, 2007. ;-)
Already called and reserved mine. They arrive in the stores on May 30th, but cannot be sold until May 31st.
I'll pass on this one. Already got my Nokia E61!

Does anyone know a really good smart phone w/o camera?? I'm an attorney who wants to perform calendaring tasks, use microsoft applictions, and check email while waiting in court (sometimes for over an hour) for my case to get called. Most courts do not allow cell phones w/ cameras Help.
I have the exact same problem as Tim. I have a Treo650 no camera, but I want a newer phone.
Is this article supposed to mean that Verizon will release the Q on May 31st or March 31 of 2007?
