I took these pictures back in December at the Mobius conference. I never posted them because the quality didn't turn out as good as I had hoped and many of my fellow Mobians had posted articles with higher quality pictures. So I had just linked to those posts instead. Why am I posting them now? The answer is simple; there is a lot of talk and questions about the physical size of the device and my pictures are very well positioned to answer those questions. Please excuse the less than excellent picture quality and instead lets focus on the story these pictures can tell. ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060121-QvsSP5m-Side-L.jpg"><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060121-QvsSP5m-Side-S.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/></a><br /><i>Figure 1: That's my SP5m sitting on top of the Q.

In my opinion, this picture really shows off the dimensions of the device and my sexy hand. ;) :lol: Click the image to view a larger version (1.2MB)</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060121-Side-L.jpg"><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060121-Side-S.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/></a><br /><i>Figure 4: How thin is thin?

It's about the same size as my 6515 though the Q is a bit thinner.

Wow. 8O That is small.

Good pictures. Mike, I don't know why you had them hidden.

Thanks. But, they're not as good as I had hoped. So keep that in mind when you're drooling over this device. :wink:

From my experience in using my Audiovox SMT5600, I think I am going to like this device. My big criticism of the Audiovox is the lack of a thumb-board.

I haven't been paying attention lately, any current news on a release date for the Q?

Sadly, no. :(
