Motorola Evoke QA4
From Mobile WhackLooks like the Motorola A455 is just another middle order CDMA handset with a QWERTY keypad added in, making it more of a mid-range messaging device more than anything else. The previously used moniker of RUSH2 is dropped in favor of “Rival,” which sounds pretty absurd when it looks it won’t be competing with any other handset in particular. Other tidbits leaked include dual-band CDMA support with EV-DO Rev A., stereo Bluetooth, a paltry 2-megapixel camera, microSD/SDHC support, an mp3 player with a a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and USB 2.0 connectivity.
The Evoke QA4, in spite of having a somewhat spacious touchscreen display, is a sleek slider falls into the same category as the Rival, and fails to evoke much enthusiasm in us. Features are somewhat analogous to the A455 and include a 2mpx camera, microSD/SDHC support, mp3 player, Bluetooth with A2DP, and voice recognition capability.
No info on a release date or pricing could be found, but as always, we will keep you posted when that happens.
The Evoke, which will ride on CDMA networks when it becomes available in the second quarter on low-cost carrier Cricket, certainly has a lot going on in the features department. It includes a an HTML browser, threaded-style text messaging, and support for integrated widgets for real-time access to social networking sites, RSS feeds, and more. The quick-launch YouTube shortcut is another nice touch, as is the ability to upload pics taken with the Ev0ke’s 2-MP camera directly to Picasa.
