Is next week the week? Will it really happen? Is it really a BlackBerry ‘killer’? Can I stop asking silly questions?* According to Engadget Mobile, Motorola has announced that the Q will be released next week.
I’m really excited to finally see a slim & trim Windows Mobile Smartphone-based phone with a QWERTY keyboard and landscape QVGA screen. Yes, this is the CDMA/EVDO version, so it’ll be available on Verizon (and later Sprint) right away, but we’ll have to wait until the end of the year for the GSM/UMTS version – or so they say. Go check out Engadget’s post on the latest Q news.

Did anyone else get an email message from Skype this afternoon indicating that a number of calls were going to be free through the end of this year. If the call originates in the US/Canada and is directed to any US/Canada Landline, Wireless, or Skype number, that it is free.
Calls to friends and family on Skype have always been free. Now we’ve made calls within the US and Canada to all phones totally free till the end of the year.
Starting from today it doesn’t matter if it’s a Skype-to-Skype call or a call to landline or mobile phone – it’s free as long as you’re calling from within the US or Canada to US or Canadian phone number.
How can we do this? Well, we hope our customers will support us by using Skype to make international calls at incredibly cheap rates, or by buying stuff from our store – like Skype Voicemail, perhaps an accessory like headphones to make using Skype even easier, or even a cool ringtone to personalize your Skype.
Very cool!

To all you crackberry users – infoSync World has reviewed the new T-Mobile BlackBerry 8700g. The 8700 series has a new, larger QVGA screen, includes EDGE data services for better wireless performance (I’ve seen up to 200kbps on my MDA), a refined user interface, and a new Intel XScale processor helps speed up the device.

Since I’m going to be investigating several different BlackBerry devices and the four major mobile providers in the USÂ over the next few weeks, I’m going to do some reviews here on the blog.
The devices I’ll be reviewing will be:
- BlackBerry 8700c on Cingular
- BlackBerry 7105t on T-Mobile
- BlackBerry 7130e on Verizon
- BlackBerry 7250 on Sprint
So I’ll try and get these reviews up as I work with each model – I’ve got the 8700c for the weekend so if I find the time, that’ll happen soon.
