Well, maybe this will get the masses excited, since the Qtek 8500 seems to be lackluster for many people out there.

At least this looks more like a standard moto flip...but, with WIFI...otherwise, pretty standard device...

Personally, I like the Qtek better, this looks like a brick !

I agree that this doesnt really look like anything too special, but it is good to see more companies moving into the windowsmobile space.

Are you serious? If you look in the VZW forum you will see some side shots of it, it's not that thick at all.

Yes, I'm serious...I was looking at the FCC snaps of it in the PDF file...while there isn't anything laying next to it to compare...you can tell it's pretty thick, it's at least as thick as an MPx220...in my professional, expert opinion

But, I haven't found anything on the FCC site that documents the actual dimensions, so I could be wrong, but I doubt it...I think it's thick...

The antenna alone is enough reason not to consider it, makes it pretty much non-pocketable in my opinion.

It's good to see another smartphone for CDMA customers. Too bad this one is going to Verizon, which means crippled BT, and I wouldn't count on having useful WiFi.
