Bell Canada to Launch Motorola Hint QA30

Most of you might already know that the Motorola Hint QA30 is already available for purchase in the United States, and it seems that the handset is heading up north for Canada as well, where it is to be added to Bell Mobility's offering. The mobile phone should reach the country as soon as April 9, according to the news.

The Motorola Hint QA30 is the first slider from the mobile phone maker's lineup to feature a full-QWERTY keypad, and it seems that Bell Mobility plans on offering the handset for as little as $129.95 upon the signing of a three-year contract agreement.

For those who consider three years as too long, the device can also be acquired with a two-year contract option at the price of $179.95, or with a one-year contract for $279.95. Moreover, the second largest Canadian mobile phone carrier will also sell the Motorola Hint QA30 free of contract, only that those willing to purchase it this way will have to pay $329.95 to get it.

Besides the fact that it is a full-QWERTY slider, the Motorola Hint QA30 also includes a QVGA display, a 2-megapixel photo snapper, GPS capabilities, Email, Web browser and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a memory card slot that will allow users to add up to 8GB of external storage space into the equation.

Other features that the handset will be able to provide Canadian users with include an entire range of applications, such as alarm, contacts, calendar and a speakerphone. Even though the Motorola Hint QA30 might actually look like a square-ish handset, it still seems to be a great option, and Bell Mobility's customers who won't like its looks might be attracted by its functionality instead. It will be interesting to see how it will perform, especially given the fact that it is supposed to compete against Rogers' Samsung Propel.
