A word of warning regarding the Premium… in some respects, it’s a variant unto itself. Do NOT expect it to fit the docking station, organizer, or windshield mount. Because of the larger default battery size, they’ve also “filled in” the rest of the unit, making it thicker than any of their size-dependent accessories can support. I’ve sure learned the hard way. Now, I’m sitting here with a Q1U-P that’s never been beyond initial boot, and all of the accessories that go with it, useless each and all.

Name already chosen based on my LotR addiction: Samwise.

Name idea for Q1 Ultra Premium: Qupie!

Congrats on the new machine!

I received a Q1UP a week ago and have already returned it due to a defect (but am planning to get another).

*** Can you check to see if yours has this problem? (you can read about it in my Amazon review):

When picking up the unit, or otherwise handling/flexing the case, the ‘Play Camera’ program will start up and take a picture. Then another, and another.. in a few minutes I’ll have dozens of pics of my nose, the ceiling, you name it, while attempting to do something else. My hands are nowhere near the shutter button when this happens, nor does the button seem to be bound up in any way, it floats freely, so I don’t understand why it happens. Killing the program is useless as it will soon pop up again.

As soon as someone with a Q1UP tells me they aren’t seeing the same thing I’ll chalk it up as a random defect and order another. Its otherwise a great machine!

Thanks!!!

Does anyone have an idea of when the SSD version of the Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium will be available? I called Samsung over a month ago and they said soon.

>>>Then again, I always thought about giving my Eee to a needy child, so there’s hope for you yet.

Promises, promises. And what’s this about buying the 2133?! You know a release date? FIEND!

Yes, Chris, you’re one of the folks that I referenced in the post that offered to buy Samantha if I ever decided to leave her. Stay tuned…

Hi Kevin, remember me…. I sent you email before and asked questions about your Samsunng Q1… You promised something.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN…. Let me know…

Mike, I’m clearing my desk for a potential HP 2133 purchase. Besides, my son has my old Vista desktop and a Toshiba M205 Tablet PC. I think he’s set for now. Then again, I always thought about giving my Eee to a needy child, so there’s hope for you yet.

WTF?! Getting rid of the EeePC too?! Have you no shame? No loyalty? No desire to send it to me for free? Hahahaha.

Seriously, I thought your son liked it and he would have been a natural to get it next.

Congrats Kevin! I have one arriving tomorrow and am looking forward to testing it out.
Although I made the jump to Mac last August I still love the idea of having a device small enough to carry everywhere. I keep wishing Apple would come out with something about this size but it is not to be- at least not yet. I’ve tried other UMPCs but none fit the bill for me, The screen on the Sony UX line is too small and the prior processors on the Q1 and Q1U were either poor or impossible when it came to voice recognition. The Q1U Premium seems the best fit when it comes to decent screen size, batter life, weight and power.
I look forward to seeing how your experience and mine compare.

Wow, for a moment there I thought we were going to have 2 P1610s in the JKontherun family!

Congrats on the purchase of your Q1U. Now the wait game begins.

How did I know you were going to get one. Seeing that picture of you holding one at CES was a dead giveaway. I know that I want one but I will probably get a eeepc 900 instead.

Hey kevin, I was also considering upgrading my Q1P to something better but even with the improved resolution, battery, processor, etc on the q1 Ultimate I still think that its diverting too much of what an UMPC should be, atleast my definition of it. I think that the q1p Ultimate its just too bulky for everyday use. I’m going to wait for a slim version of an UMPC without the added bulked (keyboard, buttons, fingerprint readers). A good UMPC would have the same power, resolution, battery life, wimax, and would weight under 1.3 pounds. I guess I could dream because the new generation of umpcs are no where near this designs yet.
