MetroPCS Releases Motorola QA30 Hint

As expected, MetroPCS (NYSE: PCS) is now selling the compact texter from Motorola (NYSE: MOT), the QA30 hint. Alltel is already offering this one, and Bell is on the way, so there are options abound if your heart is set on it. I played around with the slider a little bit at CTIA Wireless, and the form factor is interesting, at very least – it was still hard to get used to holding what was almost a perfect square when closed after so many generations of rectangular phones. The specs aren’t spectacular, but here’s the run-down.

• 2 megapixel camera
• 2.5-inch QVGA (320×240 pixels) screen
• Standard 3.5mm headset jack
• EV-DO connectivity
• Bluetooth
• GPS
• microSD memory card slot
• 256MB of ROM, and 128MB of RAM

The off-contract pricetag reads $249.00, go ahead and pick up yours online. If you’re looking for something a little smarter, it might be worth your while to check out the Propel Pro on AT&T.
