Moto Q vs BB 8830?
I am considering each of these phones and have done some considerable research, but it seems that once I have my mind made up as to which one to get I come across a few bad reviews and I'm back to square one.
The big thing for me is justifying the difference in 1) cost of phone $299 for the 8830; $179 for the Q and 2) cost of data package $39.95 for BB and $24.95 for the Q.
They both seem to handle email, appointments, browsing equally well.
Battery life advantage goes to the 8830.
Additional storage - BB (4GB), Q (2GB)
MP3 ringtones - equal
Bluetooth - BB (v2) Q (v1.2)
Email - have an exchange server and a bb server at work - both of which I have access to
Acticesync wont be a big player for me as I will be moving my lap...

I've had both the q and the 8830, I've also had the treo 700p and the 755p... The best out of all of them is..... the 8830! Now I had the Q and it was just horrible, constant hard and sofe resets, pulling the battery out, losing information... I mean it looked cool though , so than I went to the treo hoping for something better and trying out the palm os... well it was better, but i still had to occasionaly do a soft reset, but there were many more programs and a bigger screen which was nice and I did like the touch screen.. Then the new bb came out and I deceided I would give it a try since it had GPS and was GSM capable, It looked like a winner, and I like the pearl ball.. So I got it and forked out the money for the BB service and it has...
