Motorola Q Arrives Fashionably Late, Wearing Low Cut Price

Principal Analyst, Wireless Devices

The Q is the first smartphone consumers would be willing to be seen with after 5 PM, making it an attractive proposition for prosumers buying a single device for dual business and personal use. And its $199 price point reshapes the price curve for QWERTY devices.

However, the Q is dependant on Microsoft for its built-in e-mail synchronization. ActiveSync still lags RIM in providing a polished push e-mail experience, and lacks critical end-to-end security. As such, many IT managers are likely to stick with RIM, but Palm will suffer collateral damage.
