Motorola Q
More 411 on the Q ...
It's a great little gadget, that I have to admit, for a few specific reasons ...
- It's VERY thin and small in profile
- Great WM 5.0 OS
- Doesn't compromise screen size
- Together with Verizon's network, it's a great match
... and most important ...
- It's going to drive the price of the better 700w down!
Again, I have to admit, the 700w is the better mobile office tool. Mostly because of its useage options - touchscreen is key - and it's awesome third-party programs. I have tested both for a consumer wireless organization (as well as the 6700, 650, etc.)
"Marketing" expects the Q to announce on VZW 2nd or 3rd week of April and available in stores on or about the 4th week. It will be available first online, but you can ...

So, I must apologize for jumping the gun on my review of the Q vs the Treo 700w.
Apparently, the beta version of the Q that I had been testing was not a "fully loaded" version of the device. When I found out about this, I was livid. I called Motorola's Media Division to complain. Not a good move on their part.
Big problem for the Treo - PDA or phone, not both at the same time. That is a major issue. I also stay in touch with Tech Dept's at several carriers and ask them to describe the kind of calls they get about certain devices. Most of the calls and complaints are the result of user error ... except with the Treo.
