And here, you said we'd see the Q by the 17th.

I think you're being honest, but VZW clearly doesn't care to stick to the schedules it publishes in your "spreadsheets".

What gives????

I see nothing on VZW's site!

I have an idea for verizon. Don't leak information on your product at all until say 2 months prior to launch, or GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND GIVE US THE DAMN PHONE!!! All the waiting is killing us.

Hmmm. That does look like an update. If I remember correctly, it started saying Q1, changed to Q2, and now says April.

New format and page of course, but same old press release.

This might be a dumb question but this will have the same broadband speed of the Treo 700W on Verizon's network? Correct?

Thanks

The site has now been updated from the "April" statement to "Shipping Soon". I am not sure if that is a good sign or a bad one.

Weird. There are two almost identical pages from Motorola. In one, the images are a hair smaller, and it says shipping soon. The other has slightly larger pics and still says April.

And then you have this site that still reads "available Q1":

i gave the date already, but dont listen to me!!! When i looked at my spreadsheet again the stuff that is on the website now Offers; 1.) FREE Motorola 276 2.) Motorola RAZR for $99.99 and 3.) LG VX5200 $39.99 after $50 MIR & Single Line IN.
was scheduled to show on 03-19 and didnt show up until 03-22.

That's encouraging. Though I'm clinging to anything at this point. My NE2 matures on the 1st of April, and it's going to be dificult to wait. Impossible if there's at least not confirmation by VZW at that point.

1 week and counting...

☚ī¸

What are you guys thinking? You are talking about VZW. This phone will not be out until the 3rd quarter of 2006. When it does come out it will not work correctly. I only say this because I have been a VZW customer for years, and if history does repeat itself, then expect this phone to do just what all of the other high end phones have done. Hope I'm wrong!

VZW Inside ? You must not be so inside..

VZW is not going to release this due to some decisions in Mail Transfer software. It's being help till at least April. There is no quantity in stock for the stores yet. They have just ordered them..

I think you are wrong about your inside info 🙂

For what it is worth, I spoke to a technical person at VZW last night in yet another attempt to correct broadband issues related to my Treo 700. The person I spoke with indicated that the Q would be available the first week in April. In other words, next week.

VZW has an internal website that all customer service representatives use for trouble shooting, policies, procedures, equipment...etc. There is not any information listed on this device yet. VZW will post a description of the product well before its release. Usually this information is posted weeks prior to the release of the handset. Every day i come into work and check our equipment guide. I'm waiting for the device as well, but i definetly wouldn't expect to see it this month. If i had to guess, i would say late april for sure.

A new LG handset is set for release between 03/19 to 04/16. A new motorola handset is set to release 05/01 to 06/03. It does not specify which handset will be released. Judging by phonescoops information - I would assume the LG 3400 will be released first. Then the Motorola Q will be released after that in June to July. I'd like to see the Q out sooner, but VZW will test this device to heck and back before releasing it. Between the V710 lawsuit and a few known issues with the RAZR, the last thing VZW wants is to release a device that reports negative feedback. The only information i can find on the Q is that it will be released to VZW business customers between 05/24 to 07/02. Sorry đŸ˜ĸ

Well, the V710 lawsuit was totally Verizon's fault. They ordered Motorola to cripple the phone and then they advertised that it wasn't. They have articles showing the V710 that claims it can transfer information between the phone and computer (OBEX). I have a couple friends who have the RAZR and had no problems, I know the V3i has been recalled due to problems but that is unrelated.

My two cents, I have seen from quite a few sources that it will be out late April so that is what I am going with (the Motorola site says "Shipping Soon" which is not July).

Overall, VZW customers are satisfied with the RAZR. I am one of them. I love my RAZR.

I'm sorry Britt, but there are many reported problems with the Razr:


1. Issues: The time on the outer display does not update to show the correct time. If the flip is opened and menu or end is pressed, the outside display will update. Once closed, it revert back to not updating.

2. Issues: The ringer cannot be set to Vibe & Ring. The instruction manual does indicate Vibe & Ring is available. This will require a software update for correction. FRU swaps will not resolve this issue.

3. Issues: While in standby mode or while a call is being processed, there's a faint high pitch noise in the ear piece while the backlight is on.

4. ...

i also love my razr. I have very few complaints about it. EVenthough i love it, i am looking forward to the Q, just because its something new and different and i have a problem of needing to have the latest technology. 😕 ..so yeah, i will be buying it at retail thats y im hoping for a cheaper price. But i guess well see soon enough. I also dont mind it taking long to come out, cause thats also longer time for me to save up some cash. lol, although you all probably dont care, im bored in class and felt like typing. Sorry 😎

I think his point was that because of all the problems with the RAZR Verizon is going to be very cautious about releasing the Q. That is why his conjectured release date is months away...

Bad news: this Motorola website states that the Q will be available in the first half of 2006.

It could mean nothing. Keep in mind Q1 is over, well, Friday. We know it won't be out then.

But the fact that it doesn't say April and says first half of 06 *is* disturbing. Maybe they're thinking first week of May or last week of April, but some things aren't hammered out? Who knows, we're all just guessing right now.

That big wireless phone conference (CTIA is it?) is next week. I'd say that if we don't hear anything by next Friday regarding an official timeline that the wait could be a lot more than April.
...
bcdIT83

Mar 29, 2006, 2:27 PM
😕 Guys, I wouldn't put too much focus on the "First Half" info ... that's been like that for weeks. The latest "update" from Motorola's website is the link below, and has been swapping between "April 2006" and "Shipping Soon" over the course of the past week or so. I'm thinking mid-April, but who knows.

the v710, e815, and razr all had problems when they came out on the VZW network,

We're hoping history doesn't repeat itself the Q.

I had the v710 and am currently using the e815. Both have pleased me a great deal despite the problems. I'm very likely to purchase the Q, I would just like it if it was problem free when I got it.

i dont know about a delay but a customer in my store that i work at on sat had one already in silver. he said he had it for about a week or so and loved it. i asked where he got it but all he said was that he got it through his company and hod no idea how much his comany paid for. so im guessing they may release sooner then we think.
