Looks like Motorola is getting ready to add the QA30 to their Q-Series lineup complete with a sliding QWERTY keypad and un-shocking specs. Some of those specs include: CDMA, 1x-EVDO connectivity, 2.5 inch TFT, Full HTML browser, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth, and MicroSD / MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB.
If you’re an Alltel customer looking for a cheap QWERTY, this might be for you. The design is more chunky then sleek. If that doesn’t bother you, then go for it. No word on price or availability, but it should be affordable when it hits.

I own this phone, and with the exception of NOT having VNC and a real browser (Opera/Firefox) ported over to it, I thoroughly enjoy it. The phone is easy to use, I have great reception verses other phones on the same carrier. I can not say that it is slow by any mean, very reliable and generally speaking fun to use and work with. The design of the QWERTY keyboard is very smart, better than the design on my Sony UMPC (UX280p) and the Blackberries I’ve used.
I have no complaints about this phone other than not having a REAL browser (Opera/Firefox) or VNC to work with but I realize that it will only be a matter of time.
