Well it almost looks like Verizon is commiting to releasing the Moto Q on May 31st. Guess I’ll believe it when I see it. Sounds like a great phone, and the sooner it gets into the public, the better for all smarphone users in the end.
Next we need to get the new ‘HTC Star Trek’ clamshell phone out onto the carriers networks.

There is a nice preview of the Treo 700p posted over at Brighthand. AdamaDBrown describes the initial observations on the device including EVDO connectivity on the Sprint network. Also touched on is the higher resolution display, and the ability to use the device as a wireless modem. It looks like a solid device that builds on the previous successes of the Treo 650s and the Windows Mobile based 700w.

I was slightly amazed by this post over at RIMarkable. For a fan of any particular style of device to be so blunt and honest about their favorite device is refreshing.
What I want to say to Robb Dunewood about this is that, yes in comparison to the current state-of-the-art in Palm and Windows Mobile devices, the added functionality is behind the curve. But that dismisses the advances in the devices and software themselves.
When the BlackBerry came out several years ago, it really reminded me of an overgrown pager. And that is really how I viewed it for a long time. The functionality was little more than that of a two-way pager. Now fast-forward to today and you can do a side-by-side comparison with a Treo or an HTC Wizard based device for phone & PIM functions and it is a LOT closer. (I think the Treo 700p would win the PIM ‘war’ at the moment, though I have seen one yet.)
The truth is that there are currently three completely viable mobile platforms (Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Palm) and one runner up (Symbian). You can get good push-mail and PIM functions on BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices. If you want to get advanced functionality, it drops to really two options – Palm and Windows Mobile.
The interesting thing that has started to change my perception of BlackBerry is the expanding number of 3rd party applictions. That is a true indicator of a growing, robust platform.
While testing out different BlackBerry devices on all the major US carriers, we have received all but one device. Can you guess which carrier is late in delivering? That’s right – Verizon Wireless.
Its been over two weeks, and still no device. The other carriers (including Nextel) have delivered their devices, and we have been using them for over a week or more in our development system.
Hmm, emaluation of customer service for Verizon… Poor.
So after last night I wanted to compare the posting experience on the Blackberry to my MDA. It is similar, though the biggest difference is in the keyboard and the network speed. I had not had the opportunity to use my MDA in this area yet, and I have found that there is only GPRS available. oh well. I have to say that I enjoy the keyboard on the MDA better, however it seems the 7250 Blackberry renders the screen better.
I’ve got to adjust the layout in Opera on the MDA as its really hard to see what I’m writing.
