Its USB connector is flimsy and doesn’t reliably stay connected to the cable. The phone’s body is made of plastic and feels cheap. And the tiny, hinged keyboard just isn’t as usable as a solid, one-piece unit."</i><br /><br />Mobile PC magazine is not impressed with the Sierra Wireless Voq Smartphone. The <a href="http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3285.html">print edition</a> of the magazine considers this Smartphone's claim to fame, its flip-out keyboard a flop. Personally I feel that it's a harsh statement. I have tried the keyboard on this device and I feel that, folks who are used to BlackBerries and use both their thumbs to type, will not be bothered by the hinge. My only grudge is that it has an industrial design, but then when you think that it is not aimed at the consumer market, you can understand why Sierra adopted the current design.
