Following up on the leaked images and information yesterday, Motorola has officially announced the Hint QA30 messaging and multimedia device.
The specifications remain unchanged with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, EVDO data, 2.5 inch landscape QVGA display, HTML browser, threaded SMS messaging, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, 3.5mm headphone jack, speakerphone, 2.0 megapixel camera with video recorder, microSDHC slot, and CDMA 1700 AWS band support meaning flat rate carriers such as MetroPCS and Cricket may offer this phone in AWS markets sometime in the future.Â
Is it me? Or does this phone look EXACTLY like the UT Starcomm Blitz on Verizon Wireless?
The Blitz took a long time to get released… and Motorola has been looking to make a messaging phone (sans Windows Mobile).
But no, you’re not crazy.
The phone will be running modified versions of Synergy (no, that’s not Linux/MOTOMAGX pictured above, it’s an old-OS theme made to look like MOTOMAGX).
I honestly wish that Moto would have released this phone earlier ( and on VZW ) simply for the fact that it is 3G capable … unlike the Blitz. Overall, they are both great for tweens but peope will simply look at this device and think “…. wow, the Motorola version of the Blitz….”. The interface looks great though. I sincerely hope that this isn’t the death-knell for Moto.
