If MOT comes out with a good CDMA Star-Tac, the Q phone is going to have Real Competition.

I forgot about Omnitracs in my prev post. I guess they're doing very well.

Greg,

"Qualcomm-based phones have sold by the hundreds of thousands, but Motorola has yet to ship in meaningful numbers. As delays become embarrassing, investory relations director Edward Gams told analysts in Feb and April that CDMA phones have been shipped. They had, but only in tiny volumes to Asian markets. In the US the phones are still be debugged in company labs. "We hope to get to commercial quantities this summer," says Tom Murphy, spokesman for Sprint PCS. "The nontraditional phone suppiers like Sony and Samsung, have been much better about getting phones to us."

Ouch! More bad news to one who is a longtime, increasingly disillusioned MOT-owner. Qdog thinks management is arrogant but worthy of respect. I'm starting to wonder.
