I have seen post stating the Q will be $349 so right between the PPC $499
and the Smartphone $249. I would dig up the link, but hey it will be what
it is in the end.

The samsung i600 looks like a great form factor, i've seen some
negative reviews, but i wont take them too seriously. I am nervous
that Verizon no longer sells it. I wonder if samsung might be
planning an update?

I looked at the I600 user manual and couldnt find much on the
technical specifications.
The processor type is not listed.
The os version not listed.
Ram: 25 mb doesnt seem like alot
rom is not listed?
Max capacity on sd card. Users guide says 512 mb, has anyone tried a
1 gb card?
bluetooth or usb modem potential not mentioned.
ev-do not mentioned.
Windows media player 9 not 10. I assume I could upgrade that myself?
That is an important feature for me.
