Expect one of those Motorola's that were leaked earlier last year to start showing up as early as Q2 on Bell. Not the Android set I'm sure many of you are looking forward to, but any handset with threaded text messaging can't be that bad.

that is just ugly, it looked good till i saw the slider. Uhh sliders should not have that form factor.

Bahaha they said it would be a competitor to the propel? Really?
CreamyGoodness

it looks like a propel competator, only thing, no one would be caught dead with either. I would rather use a firefly (you know those phones they used to have where it didnt have a keypad, just 4 buttons and a small screen, it was meant for parents to keep an eye on their kids)

Agreed.... should be priced around $99, then dropped to $49... then this will sell. Otherwise, if you are looking for a Smartphone go for a Berry.

how long do you have left in your current contract on whatever carrier it is
Is anybody going to buy the Motorola Hint?

This phone looks pretty awful anyway any word on the Pre or Niagara status? I am holding out for a Pre because it looks interesting but I am guessing Bell will price it at $699 off contract :( Niagara looks good only the wifi part is the kicker for me :(

meh, wifi i could really not care about. It would be nice. But think of this. It is verizon who keeps wifi out. Maybe it does have wifi on other carriers. Correct me if im wrong but i believe the chipset can support wifi

Truly horrible phone. The keyboard is just aweful and it runs the Bell interface. I feel sorry for anyone who gets one. GARBAGE

^ lol
does it come in the same space as the cleo or reveal? keyboard way to small and a square phone. I would never ever sign for 3-years with any of those.
my sister (15) got the cleo and she regrets it... she said she should spent a bit more and got a blackberry. I imagine others who buy the Hint will eventually feel the same
