Whoa-ho-ho! Way to keep these releases on lock, MetroPCS! Striking while the iron is luke warm, they’ve released the Motorola QA30, a mere six months after it first became available.
With Stereo Bluetooth and the QWERTY keyboard being the primary notable features, the specs weren’t exactly mind boggling when the handset first launched – so half a year later and priced at $249 (albeit without contract), it’s a tad underwhelming. That said, MetroPCS needs more QWERTY handsets something fierce, so any new messaging friendly mobile is probably a welcome addition.
luv it but battey dont last long and cant down load music from website…
my battery lasts forver but i have the same problem downloading. everything is an unsupported content type!
Im on the fence about buying this phone. I really like it, just wanna know if it has a USB port then cant I just upload all the downloads from my pc if the downloading sucks on the phone?
Yes, it has a micro USB port and two USB modes – COMM or Mass Storage. In Mass Storage mode, it works like an external drive, so that’s easy – but you’ll only see the optional MicroSD chip. In Comm mode, with the right software you can get to the phone files (back up contacts etc)
If you want music, you need to get a MicroSD in any case. You can always take the chip out and plug it into your PC and copy files directly – I’ve got an HP microSD that came with an adapter that plugs into a CE slot.
The browser software is, imho, a bit lacking. It isn’t an iPhone. Then again, at $230 + metroPCS rates compared to AT&T, you’ve got to expect some compromises.
