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.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog4/13/2008 2:19:54 PMThe instructions below were provided as a tip & trick from a reader.  They provide the instructions on how to perform a hard master reset for the Motorola Q smartphone.

• Use the navigation pad keys to go to Start > System Tools > MASTER RESET
• Select HARD RESET (don't forget that this deletes ALL data & current settings from the phone)
• Start with the Moto Q off, then try to power on the phone.
• At the startup screen, press the CENTER BUTTON on the nav pad for at least 5 seconds
• You will be see on the screen: MASTER RESET?
• Select YES.
• WAIT while the phone is wiped clean and brought back to out-of-the-box condition.
  
  

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]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog8/10/2007 8:47:38 PMPROSSmall in size. The internet is fast.

CONS
Cheaply made, Has some software glitches that leave you thinking why did that happen. The software is slow and laggy. It does not get loud enough for alarms or for ringer. the calandar is hard to use and hard to view upcoming events. And many many more.

SUMMARY
This is most likly the next "razr" that everyone is going to have to have. In my opinion, if you need a PDA please step up and get a blackberry or a palm treo or something like that, otherwise leave the Q at the store.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/20/2006 11:34:39 AMPROSThe phone has great features and is generally pretty good

CONS
The emails you download using a POP3 service only stay on the device until you delete them off the server. Once your POP3 mail client removes the message from your mail server, the device seems to think it should also delete them from itself. This is the MOST ANNOYING "feature" of the thing. In my opinion, it should keep messages until you TELL IT to delete them.

SUMMARY
The phone sometimes reboots itself for no apparent reason, but otherwise it's a pretty capable device.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/10/2006 10:35:33 AMMotorola Q, new access to a great service offered by Yahoo!

"We are making it even easier for more consumers to take the Yahoo! experience with them on their mobile phone."

CONS
The battery takes a long time to charge, and the life is nowhere near that of BlackBerry (which spoiled me), even with the "large" battery. It has required me to change my habits and charge up much more frequently. I purchased an additional charger to keep in my suitcase so I won't ever forget it.

SUMMARY
I would highly recommend it. I didn't rate quality/durability since I've only had it for two weeks, but I will add that it has survived 2 three or four foot drops onto a hard surface.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog8/17/2006 8:28:21 PMPROS

Features that have impressed me most are the voice and sound quality, using voice commands with the Bluetooth headset, photo quality, vibrant screen, MMS, and DUN with PDANET.

CONS
I don't feel like the scroll wheel is sturdy enough. Seems to lag and could really use some better shortcuts. For example, it takes three steps just to get to the InBox...

SUMMARY
Even with a few small complaints, I am never expecting to find perfection in my cellular phone. For the few short hours I have been playing, I am impressed and believe this is going to end up being very popular! ]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog6/6/2006 3:42:41 PMPROSThis phone has it all. I love having access to my calendar, contacts, e-mail etc. (The best part was it took like three minutes to upload using wireless sync. Sound quality is great, on and off the speakerphone.

CONS
When putting the battery case on my new Q I was disappointed by the "cheap" feel of the cover. I was also bothered by the amount of time it took the phone to boot up. I understand this is a with a lot going on inside of it, but at least show me something. Let me know it's atleast attempting to come on!

SUMMARY
Besides the cheap feel of the phone, I have been impressed with the features and the programs. As long as the phone doesn't fall apart or the scrool wheel fall off, I would recommend giving the Q a shot! ]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-q.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_motorola-q&utm_campaign=PhoneDog6/6/2006 3:11:23 PMVerizon Wireless and Sprint/Nextel.  The Motorla Q smartphone, designed to compete with RIM's BlackBerry line, comes equipped with features that include a QWERTY keyboard, Windows Mobile 5.0 OS, and a video camera.       

As the second leading provider of cellular devices behind Nokia, Motorola is excited about the release of the new Q.  Zander played up the device as an "enterprise tool".  "The Q will be ideal for applications such as using spreadsheets and CRM (customer relationship management) software on the road", he also stated.   

If the release of the Q happens as planned, we expect to see it available from WireFly, Foncentral, Let's Talk, and Amazon not far behind Verizon or Sprint.  The cellular phone distributors normally have access to new devices with two weeks of the announced release, and offer them at a discount.
