Uh?

Maybe you're not reading the same thread I am...
Unless every single review website is wrong that looks like a Moto A630 to me.
Here's pics of both so you're no longer confused:

Motorola A630

Sidekick II

i was impressed a little by the A630. my friend has one. it is much smaller than i thought it would be and the querty is not bad at all. i wasn't crazy about improper (again) placement of the send/end keys (e398 and mpx fixed this but why its not consistent i don't know).

the UI seemed fast too and stable, and the screen wasn't bad. one thing i would change is allowing to access phonebook and type SMS's while the flip is closed but its ok.

I played with the Cingular version of this phone at one of my Cingular meetings, and I immediately fell for the phone. Its great, especially for people who send 3000+ SMS per month.

figured that. since you live in chicago.

a gentlemen that works for cingular stated that the a630 was NOT on the pricing sheet slated for 9/1.

wonder if this will be delayed and if it will have anything to do with the v600 "recall"

we will see soon enough i presume?

The release date for thw A630 is Sept. 17 with Cingular. This is the shipment date given to me by two differenet corp exec at Cingular and Moto. They both said it could be pushed back. It will also come out for TMobile but that date will be later and has not been determined yet. They suggested I call back mid September to find out. I'm obsessed with this phone and must have it.
