Motorola Q Cell Phone

Cons: software lacks a lot; microphone is all but useless for voice dialing; back-light time-out options

Summary: I can't quite remember now why I didn't replace my stolen Blackberry with another one, but the Q seemed a good idea at the time. Honestly, it's very serviceable, very good-looking, fits nicely into my hands, pocket, side of purse and I've found the keyboard easy to use. initial synchronization with my Outlook contacts was quick and straightforward. Initial setup of Bluetooth was difficult due to poor instructions on finding the "Discover Me" mode on the Q. Although microphone is adequate for speakerphone purposes, it is totally inadequate for voice dialing and I'm still trying to find out if I can use some sort of voice tag for each contact to mitigate that. So far, no luck. Up until now, Blackberry was the only cell phone/PDA I had used and if something happens to this one, I'll probably go back. Seems sturdy enough. I've dropped it once or twice without ill effect and carry it around in my purse without a cover. also, there needs to be a longer-time choice between "never" and "60 seconds" for back-light time-out. Finally, Microsoft needs to take some basic lessons from RIM as to PDA software.

Cons: everything....keys stick, delays in all applications, difficult navigation of everything, text message organization, just a lot.

Summary: Hopefully I just received a random broken phone, but this phone was horrible. Turned it back in within 20 days. Everything froze, the h and m keys don't work on text, bluetooth connection would just drop, no direct camera key, email set up was impossible, backlight was never the same each time (no matter what setting you have it on), missed calls like crazy, horrible static during calls. Good thing was the battery (extended) lasts forever. Good speakerphone (just not on receiving end of convo).

Cons: the feature of day, date, and year was untrue since the "long date" will never allow the day to be shown on the screen: manager at motorola said, "oopps, i guess not." battery must be charged since the web. last but not least: i have not found chess games that motorola endorses.

Summary: great "all in one". i'm wishing for the same gadget with a 4x4" screen. . . more of a computer with a phone. i understand that had this at one time but stopped making it (b.w. before web). this is as close as you can get to it and highly recommend it and endorse without reservation. hoping the games will catch up!!!!

Cons: kinda hard to use...and something that is REALLY annoying is that if u get a text the ringer keeps playing until its over...even when the text message has already been read it will keep ringing until the song is over...when in meetings or public places it gets a little old and we can't figure out how too stop it...

Summary: More of a business phone,not recommended for teens...go with a different phone and there isn't the best battery life either

Cons: adding new contact from unknown number, cant press letter to go to similar lettered entries if just adding to existing contact, silver buttin is not a joystick, though that would be nice, No MMS is available yet.

Summary: This phone is more like a business extension device then a phone. It has web, mobile outlook which is easily synced with MS.Exchange (very handy for smb users and entrepreneurs). The device is a good looking device, balances well in the hand for great one-handed action (texting, short email replies, etc ...) the only things that its missing is wireless (802.11) and MMS capabilities, although that might be a consequence of the providers not enabling the MMS feature. Beyond that its a very business friendly device and well recommended. There are a few tips to extend the battery ( turn beaming off, set displays to turn down after 10 sec, and dim the screen with utility caled candlelight, and youll love your phone battery life like me.
