Motorola Karma QA1 On Sale Today

The Motorola Karma QA1, announced about a week ago, will be hitting the shelves today. The entry-level full QWERTY slider with easy access to Twitter, MySpace and Facebook via large icons on the homescreen, is aimed at teenagers and young adults. The 3.5×2.5-inch phone has a glass faceplate instead of plastic, giving it a solid feel but it still remains light at 5 ounces. The keyboard is large enough for comfortable thumb typing, with the phone’s numeric keypad towards the left side. To complement its social networking friendly appeal, it also comes with A-GPS – probably to help locate buddies in the real world – apart from a whole range of multimedia features. The Karma will be available from AT&T for $80 after a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract.
