Is Moto Q the Thinnest QWERTY Smartphone?

Hats off to the folks over at Samsung, for designing the i320 and challenging Motorola's claim. Even though I know that the Samsung i320 is not going to be launched in the <a href="http://smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10369">US market,</a> I would like to see Samsung launch the product before Motorola launches its Q. ;-)

It will be a bonehead move by Samsung not to release this phone in USA. After seeing all the pictures, the Q is just too big, as big as a Treo 700. Moto Q could be just like the old Moto MPx that never see the day light. Bring this Samsung here :twisted:

When is the Moto Q going to be released? Both phones are so sexy.

Well, the Q is due to be released shortly on the Verizon network. It will be a limited release for 6 months. Which means, you can't get this phone on any other carrier for 6 months. Which means September before it's available outside of Verizon. :(

Samsung, hasn't mentioned when they plan on releasing it - that I know of anyway. But seeing as it's not set for a North American release, it won't hurt Moto at all. Samsung will be focused on EMEA for the next 6-8 months, while Moto will be locked on Verizon in the US. :?

Oh but the Q is thinner. It is so thin it might just vanish! :lol:
