Cricket annouces Motorola QA4 touchscreen phone

March 31, 2009/Joe Pawlikowski

One thing I wondered when Cricket wireless started expanding and introducing mobile broadband was whether they’d move into high-end phones. It makes sense from a geek perspective, but from a low-cost carrier which doesn’t subsidize phones perspective it can go either way. Apparently they’re giving it a shot with the Motorola QA4. It’s a touchscreen with a slide out standard 12-digit keyboard. For features it sports a 200×400 LC touch screen, Bluetooth, 256 MB memory expandable to 16GB, a 2 megapixel camera, a full HTML browser, and video streaming capabilities. It’s looking like a May release with Cricket, though a price is not yet set. Expect a few hundred.]]>

    I own this phone… HORRIBLE PHONE.
    Screen just blanks out. Phone cuts off for no reason at all. It says it does but It dosent download things off the internet. You have to pay a extra $15 per month for the data package on this phone. Also sometimes you cant even touch the screen LMAO… so basically u have to pull the keyboard out so cleary this is NOT a touch screen phone .
