VZW smart phones..

VZW Sales

Verizon is really becoming the leader in 3G smart phones. Hopefully this will help take sales away from surprisingly business saavy sprint and cingular who offer much smaller 3g networks at this time. DATA$$$

I have one issue with your comment.

VZW EVDO does not work in my neighborhood or at my house. Sprint EVDO does. And I live in NYC (Brooklyn to be specific.)

Correct me if I am wrong but this is VZW's first SmartPhone. 700w is Windows Mobile 5.

Cingular is actually on there 3rd smartphone - MPx220, Audiovox 5600, and now 2125.

Sprint is going to have a larger nationwide EVDO network soon and Cingular HSDPA then UMTS is going blow by EVDO - current tested download speed at 3.6Mbps but supposed to be capped at 1.8Mbps.

The Q, Treo 700w, and XV-6700 are all Windows Mobile 5. The Q is simply Smartphone platform, while the other two are PocketPC platform.

The Q isn't Verizon's first Microsoft Smartphone. They also carried the Samsung i600.

fyi, I did a speed test on a VZW EVDO aircard and hit 2Mbps. Thought it was a fluke so I did a second test, second time 2.2Mbps. Most of the time I've seen it in the 400-500Kbps range.

Those speeds will change as more people use it.

To be honest, why do you need super fast connections to a PDA? What are you going to download that is going to be that huge? .4 Mbps speed difference isn't the end of the world.

windows mobile 5 is the technology


the only difference between a wm5 smartphone and a wm5 pocket pc is there interface. pocket windows vs whatever interface the manufacture wants to use for their smarphone (ex moto Q is a smartphone and uses its own interface, unlike a treo700 or xv-6700)

Did some more research - looks like a difference between PPC vs Smartphone is that PPC's include touchscreen - smartphones do not.

I'm fairly sure that the Q will not have a touchscreen. How much of a drawback is that?

THANKS!

I recently tired out the cingy 2125 and it did not have a touch screen. i believe it to be a huge pain in the a**, esp. when browsing the internet. just my opinion.
