I'm an owner for a few years of a Motorola Startac in Airtouch (CDMA) service area. I have two objections to the Q-Phone.

1. The phone is CDMA only leaving you stranded in analogue regions.
2. The phone is too big, about 40% larger in all dimensions than a Startac.

I'd love to switch to static-free CDMA. I gladly paid $1,200 for the Startac analogue 3 years ago. $500 is not a problem. But no service in non-CDMA areas is a big problem. If and when Motorola comes out with a CDMA Startac, the Q-phone's clunky size and weight won't be able to compete. In the event of a CDMA Startac, the Q-phone will have to compete on price in the economy market.
