I know a lot of you dislike this phone because of it's lack of Bluetooth or it's looks, but you have to admire what Sierra has done here. That keyboard looks pretty decent. Personally, I feel the phone has a Matrix feel to it, but I would like to see a version with Bluetooth. ;) The official specs displayed by Sierra are: Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone, Secure Serverless always-there e-mail, Intel PXA262 200 MHz, 48mb Flash ROM, 32mb RAM. They also have some <a href="http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1045&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0">close-ups of the MPx</a>.<br /><br />MGN has just returned online after a small server problem ;) Welcome back guys!

Finally I can also claim that I have played with Voq 8) For its size it was light, and the phone's shape makes it comfortable for you to hold and talk. This is one phone that will not slip out my hands.

Before whenever I had saw the pictures, I thought that because the screen was off-center, when you flip the keyboard, it will be an odd feeling, but was surprised that it doesnt affect the typing or usability.

But the phone has a plasticy feel in general (but the Keyboard and the Keypad is done nicely). Also Moto has raised the style standards. Every Windows Mobile Smartphone is going to get benchmarked against Moto.

The killer app for the Voq is always there email and ofcourse the keyboard.
