Moto Q Smartphone

[AirWolf]

Hi all

I recently saw an add on tv for the Moto Q Smartphone. I looks like a good product Any ideas when it will be available here?

I read a review (will try and find the link tomorrow) that said one major downside was the fact that this phone doesn't have integrated wifi

This one? http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_q-1232.php

Seems nice but I'm still glad I decided on the Pearl the other day.

Don't think the Q is coming to South Africa - if it does, will be Cell C and Virgin (ha ha).

The Q 9h should be here VERY soon though - Vodacom and MTN. Awesome device!!! Yes, doesn't have wlan, but then again, how many people actually use it here? That's why we have HSDPA

We have WIFI internet at work (which I have successfully connected to with my supervisors wlan capable phone). Also the newer ADSL routers have wifi capabilities which you should be able to connect to via a wlan capable phone.

True, but who actually sits in the office and uses the internet on their phone through wifi when you can access on your PC?
In my opinion, internet on a cellphone is for when you are "out of the office" or "away from home". And with our cheap mobile data charges in SA we can easily use HSDPA
