14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola Hint is one of the most promising devices that the American manufacturer has come up with lately. Mostly due to the intuitive dashboard interface, but also because of other, just as interesting features, this phone has already created an overall positive buzz all by itself.
The QA30 strikes as a text messaging and instant messaging device that offers a bit more than that, simply because it also enables a conversational experience while performing such tasks. It can store up to 300 messages, with the messaging experience being enhanced by its full QWERTY slider keypad.
Furthermore, the Hint offers you email and other Internet applications in order to make sure that you will remain connected with people from your social circle all the time. In addition, the full HTML browser and fast Internet connection guarantee a more than pleasant surfing experience.
Mark Shockley, general manager and corporate vice president of Motorola Mobile Devices, said the following, regarding this phone's messaging capabilities: “Staying in touch with friends and family, keeping networks updated and ensuring constant access to social circles are top priorities for many consumers. [..] Motorola Hint is the stylish solution for those multitaskers who are used to having several conversations at once and demand quick, reliable access and communication.”
The multimedia capabilities are also worth mentioning, for the QA30's music player not only features one touch music keys, but also grants you access to songs even when the slider is closed. Storing your music should be no problem, if you use the expandable memory of up to 8GB, while transferring music is just as easy using the 2.0 USB connection. Moreover, the popular 3.5mm jack was certainly the best choice for this mobile, as also was the 2.0 Megapixel digital zoom camera – the quick capture and sharing capabilities only coming to add more points in favor of this phone.
Considering the very sleek design of the device, measuring 82 x 61.6 x 17mm and weighing 120g, it will probably be very appealing to all kinds of users. Adding the 2.5'' QVGA TFT 65K (320x240 pixel) widescreen display, and also mentioning that it is one of Motorola's most “docile” phones (as in, very easy to use), then a strong recommendation should be an integrant part of a review in this case.
If you've enjoyed this phones features, then you should know it is to be released sometime this year, but no further details or pricing information are available at this moment.
