Motorola Evoke QA4 makes a cameo on Moto site

General

As Moto fans and curious passers-by alike sit waiting for more news on the next-generation Moto handsets we scooped back in December, one of a few interim items of interest has just popped up on Moto’s site. The Motorola Evoke QA4 is a bubbly but intriguing handset that hasn’t yet been officially announced, which makes it peculiar that it would appear on Motorola’s site. Odd, yes, but perhaps Moto is as eager to push out new handsets as we are to critique them. Little is known about the Evoke QA4 for the time being, though we would imagine an official announcement can’t be far off. All we have thus far is a feature phone with a slider form factor, 2.8″ touchscreen display, standard 12-button keypad and CDMA/EV-DO connectivity. At the same time, it’s a design that strays from most of the handsets the struggling manufacturer has issued in recent history so we’re going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Interest piqued? Fork over some personal info over on the Moto site to receive “periodic updates” via email.

    Looks good!

    Great Job Zach!

    I bet this is one of the many Moto phones vzw is getting

  • backbeat

    This only means that Moto is breathlessly attempting to keep up with LG and Samsung and Nokia … When you can no longer keep pace, and deliver beyond expectations, you’re no longer relevant, regardless of the corporate logo. Here’s your sign Moto.

    Anyone else feel like Backbeat lives in his mom’s basement and has a seriously disfigured face or weight problem? And take his anger out on these posts?

  • blur(p)s

    Definitely a job well done for Moto. Hope it’s thin!

  • BM

    this handet looks very nice. you guys are so negative about anything moto puts out. this site is crazy. if bad reception and dropped calls dont bother you, keep byuying your samsung, lg, and htc garbage.

  • backbeat

    ^^^Speaking of irrelevant …

  • Tim

    ^ ditto…

    moto hasnt come out with anything ground breaking since its rzr…

    ppl don’t say negative things about it just cause they want to, all moto does right now is change it’s colors and expects everyone to buy it…

  • Don Louie

    They have a bunch of new looks coming to vzw according to this site. The Q and Hint were steps outside the box

  • mobileye

  • setusupthebomb

    if u like it, buy it. if u hate it, dont. vote with your $, talk is cheap.

  • John

    Probably for Verizon and even if its not, it will find its way there sooner rather than later. (because of alltel)

    Those who have tested this phone have spoken about it on Howard forums. It was heading to US Cellular until it failed the approval process due to software issues. Too bad, because it would have been a nice addition to the lineup.

  • Don Louie

    Isn’t the parent company for U.S. Cellular contemplating selling them? Failed approval doesn’t bode well

    @ Tim

    That is SO true ! The last big thing they came out with was the RAZR which was like epic back in the day cause it was really thin, but nowadays, it doesn’t measure up with modern day competition at all. Even by “dumbphone” standards lol.

  • Levi

    I have been a US Cellular customer for many years and I’m very happy with them. But I honestly would not mind if they got eaten up by a bigger carrier. It would mean a better selection of devices, IMO. But they do pride themselves on their extensive testing process, to make sure that they are better prepared to handle any bad situations once a phone goes on the shelves. As far as it being sold, I have no inside info, but I know that US Cellular operates with very little debt. But there is a Reuters report about investor unhappiness, so who knows.

  • Don Louie

    They honestly have some of the best plans out, love thier ads

  • Mark

    I actually have seen one of these. They were testing it on the MetroPCS network.I have some pictures of it hands on if anyone wants to see it.

  • DS

    yeah, this is the NEW touchscreen phone for Metro PCS

  • TEW

    its for metropcs too. it comes out on april 6th.. they say it comes out the same day as the samsung finesse.. im getting that one and this one on my family plan..

  • SPS

    The coolest thing about the device is what you can’t see – it’s the first phone in the world to implement mobile virtualization using OKL4 from Chicago-based Open Kernel Labs!
