Motorola Moto Q

Instead of reading 'copy and paste' reviews from others about the Motorola Q, read this review from someone who has one.

I got the Q from work and was immediately impressed with it's size. It's thin, almost RAZR thin. After all, it's from the same company know for it's hot phones. The talk time and stand-by time are good so far, and it has a bunch of other features you are looking for. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, and a 1.3 megapixel phone. it also runs Windows Mobile 5, which is why I got it through work. I can check Outlook email as well as set up my other web-based email and any other POP3 accounts.

If you are Big and Tall like me, the Q won't disappoint. it's not too small, and the keyboard is big enough for larger hands. When talking, the phone feels good, it isn't too small, like most candy-bar style phones. Call quality is great.

Named after the tech gadget guru in all the Bond movies, the Motorola Q is definitely the must have gadget of the year.

PROS: Thin, full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel camera

CONS: Can't set up to use internet with Wi-Fi network

Perfect for staying in touch with email - Easy to shoot, then attach photos to emails. Or just save the photos and show them on your screen to others. The screen is so chrisp and clear, you'll read the tiny type on web pages you search, easily. And you'll bring up entire web pages and scroll or click any link on them. I am most amazed by the coverage. I've had T-Mobile, Cingular, Sprint, and now Verison. I travel between Chicago and Iowa, and when driving, by mid-state every other service cuts out. But Verison gives me strong, constant coverage anywhere. I picked up my Motorola Q 6/4/6. In about two months, on 8/7/6, the Motorola Q froze up and the screen went crazy. Circuit City promised immediate replacement, but had to send me across the road to Verison because they were all sold out. The Verison store had counter help who replaced the phone only after giving me the hardest time about not being able to look at the old phone, not being able to transfer my contacts, and generally not giving me the time of day. Finally, I was able to peal away the nasty layers of this person after informing him he was the least cooperative person I've ever spoken to in my life. From there, he got better and I left with my new phone a few minutes later. End of his work day, maybe it had been a rough one for him. You'll love the calendar, the web browser, the email abilities, the remarkably clear sharp screen, the phone contact options (add the picture to the caller ID, add a special ring tone, etc) It remembers who you last dialed so calls are quick. Ready to call? Push "contacts" and your entire list is ready. Push one letter and every name with that letter, first or last, comes up for quick selection and calling. It even tries to help you type emails, by finishing words - which on occassion sends out a laughable "Daddy" instead of my usual "Dad" so watch what it tries to say. I've not fully adjusted to being able to take full advantage of the phone"s word-guesses yet. You'll put this phone in your shirt pocket and not realize it's there. There's a carrier for your belt, but I don't like it. The phone is small, flat, and yet it has a keyboard with individual keys that's big enough, barely. To your surprise, you can find you can type one handed - or one thumbed. The big monitor screen you'll love. The camera is wonderful for taking "notes" in the store on prices or products, to ponder later. Good camera. Easy and quick to use. Easy to save, blow up or delete pictures. The phone has an ability to record voice notes but I've not tried it. You'll feel a bit stupid talking into what seems like a double cheese cracker, but it is clear sound for listening and sending. They boast about their screen scrolling feature, but I find it unnessary. Same with the recall button. I am more comfortable with the return arrow. You'll know what that means when you play with this phone. I wish the two "push" places just under the screen were slightly raised areas rather than flat. They blend too much into the screen above and the button below, but honestly, it is really difficult to find serious fault with this phone after having experience with a lot of phones and PDAs. I was disappointed they didn't have a set-up with Mac computers yet. The phone doesn't really stop traffic like the RAZR, but you'll love how useful it is. I keep meaning to read the nice instruction manual that comes with the phone, but it is so easy to set up and so much fun to use, I've not had time.
