The Motorola has the newest screen resolution and soon will be the standard for all Windows Mobile Smartphones. The Q’s screen resolution is 320 x 240 which is far more superior to older Smartphone resolutions because it just makes more sense to have the displays in landscape view as opposed to portrait.  Motorola Q Display

The Motorola Q supports 65,000 colors and is 36 by 48mm in size. The Q has a very bright display and is excellent for watching videos or viewing high quality pictures. The Q is not a Pocket PC so it does not have a touch screen display.  Although some Pocket PC diehards may find it a little strange at first, the UI is very intuitive and after a few days you won’t feel like you’re missing anything. 

The Motorola Q has dual stereo speakers located on the back of the phone. In my opinion dual speakers should be the next standard on phones because when listening through one speaker even if it’s very loud it doesn’t sound as good. With two speakers it kind of feels like surround sound. The Q also has stereo headphones via a 2.5mm headphone jack, which is perfect for using your phone as an mp3 player.

In addition, if you have Bluetooth stereo headphones you can listen to your favorite songs all wirelessly.  As with all the latest Smartphones, the Q ships with Media Player 10 which allows you to sync and listen to music bought from any of the many online music retailers that support encrypted .WMA.  (No iTunes supported).
