Having spend some clip with the Q1 Ultra , I finger it ’s my obligation to tell you that the most appealing version is n’t $ 799 , but $ 1199 .
Yes , all Q1 Ultras are slight than the original Q1 with a brighter ( 300 nit ) , higher - atomic number 75 ( 1024×600 ) but still 7″ screen . They all weigh 1.5 lbs . , have the split up QWERTY keyboard , the 1 GB of DDR2 RAM , 802.11b / g plus Bluetooth 2.0 , stereo speakers and a dual - regalia microphone . Battery life is up to 4.5 hour ( as opposed to the former Q1 ’s 3.5 60 minutes ) . With an extended barrage , you’re able to get up to 8.5 hours , and a full 13 hours if you use a “ dual bombardment ” conformation .
But the $ 1,199 Q1U - V , which will embark soonest , in just a couple of weeks , also has two cameras , a VGA up front for video conferencing and a 1.3 - megapixel one in the rear for still frivol away . It ’s got an 800MHz Intel Ultra Mobile A110 C.P.U. , instead of the $ 799 version ’s 600MHz . It has a 60 GB 1.8″ aim hard drive and a memory card lector ( just Coyote State and MMC , but still utile ) .
There is still no word on an SSD shape , although Samsung told me “ destruction of twelvemonth … peradventure . ” Samsung says that SSD was cost prohibitive at launch , as it is five to six times as expensive as equivalent arduous disk technology .
The super - duper Q1 Ultra will cost $ 1,499 , and reach shop in August . This one , the Q1U - CMV , has everything that the Q1U - V has , except for an 80 GB driving , an “ authentic ” fingerprint reader , and HSDPA high speed wireless , to be supported by AT&T. ( That ’s the reason for the armed robbery . )
There ’s no PC card or ExpressCard expansion slot , nor is there built in GPS . You ’ll see in the picture gallery that GPS is available as a USB accessary . I asked about connect a GPS Robin Goodfellow via Bluetooth , but was say , essentially , that it was n’t the route that Samsung had explored . One of you intrepid Q1 Ultra buyer will have to try that one out .
If you still require a $ 799 variant , you ’ll have to involve for the Q1U - EL ( for “ unproblematic schoolhouse ” ) , you ’ll have to waitress about a month , and you will in all probability be mock by people with squeamish camera - outfit Q1 Ultras .
