Now that we are starting to get more and more info on the device, it’s worth posting that the device has some pretty unique features. Aside from the new Intel processors and longer battery life, I personally have a couple of favorites.
First, I love the new handstrap. It is quite a nice design, one that would definitely make me attach the strap to the device. For those that missed it,
there is a silver circle on the back of the Q1u with a rectangular hole in it. The hand strap has an adjustable plastic plug that fits into the hole, and enables single-handed use of the device. Like what camcorders have, except here you can have it in one hand with better weight distribution and security. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Another compelling feature for me are the two cameras – they may not be great quality, but it will be fine for an occasional snapshot to attach to an email.
Also the price! You are getting one nice device for price it is offered at. Consider the Medion, which currently sells for 1000 Euro. For 200 Euro more, you get HSDPA, two cameras, a fingerprint scanner and the newest technology.
There are two things I’m worried about: Will the processor be good enough? 800mhz? The units shown at CeBIT we’re quite fast – but they were dual-core. We’ll have to wait and see till Steve gets one.
My second concern: will they have an organizer pack for it? That’s (in my opinion) one of the greatest features of the Q1. Sure the new one has a tiny split keyboard but Samsung would be making a very bad decision by not having a similar product for its new device.
So what in your opinion is the best feature of the Q1 Ultra? Are there any features you wish were included but aren’t? Make yourself heard in the comments.
