Default New Motorola Q Coming to Amp'd

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/11/08/ampd-to-get-upgraded-motorola-q/

"A microscopic, grayscale image is about all we have to go on right now, but that little sliver of evidence seems to corroborate the claim that Amp'd Mobile is all geared up to take on a variant of Motorola's Q smartphone. On account of Amp'd's target demographic, we might normally argue that there are other carriers in the world better suited to take on a business-oriented device like the Q -- but if the rumored upgrades are anywhere close to real (three megapixel cam, "new UI," and integrated SlingPlayer) at the also-rumored price point of $100 -- not to mention the nifty black shell -- Amp'd subscribers would be crazy not to dig it."

Thanks to Howard Forums it no longer just a greyscale image. Check out the new sexier looking Q. I like the color, and the rumored specs. 8)

This part is REALLY interesting to me. Listed under the Pay-as-you-go section:

"Coming soon, access to monthly subscriptions services such as Amp'd Overload, Overdose, TV & Radio. Keep checking back!"

Amp'd Overload looks like unlimited internet for $15 a month. Hmmm, unlimited internet for $15 plus $.10 a minute? Um yeah, I'll be dumping my PPC-6700 next December and saving a BOATLOAD of money every month. I only use about 20 minutes a month as it is. I mainly use it for the online access.

Not if it's the Q Pro which is rumored to be coming to Cingular. Watch the front page here in the next few minutes. :wink:
