Motorola Q Review - Conclusion


Conclusion


Motorola Q BacklightAfter being delayed, the Motorola Q finally hit store shelves earlier this month. Undoubtedly sleek and sexy, the Q is one of the, if not best, looking PDAs ever created. Although slim devices have all but saturated the market, Motorola managed to create a fresh new design for the PDA form factor.

Built from high-quality materials, the ultra-thin shell houses some impressive features including a large color LCD, EV-DO high-speed access, and Bluetooth technology. Supported by Windows Mobile 5.0, entertainment and productivity tools give users access to Media Player and Outlook functions, allowing synchronization to Windows-based PC programs.

But for business users, the Q may not provide enough functionality. With mediocre email access and rounded keys, consumers may find the productivity tools lacking. With the preinstalled set of applications, inability to edit documents, and exclusion of Verizon Wireless' VCAST Music and Video online services, the Q seem more like a phone with software capabilities than a PDA with communication abilities. But for those willing to spend money on software, the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform offers some exciting 3rd party programs.

Still, the Q is much better than most devices on the market. Offering a 1.3-megapixel camera, MP3 player, and A2DP Bluetooth technology, the Q is a decent handheld competitively priced at an initial fee of $200 with service; significantly lower than the Treo 700.

For business users that need a robust all-in-one device, the Q may come up short, and a Treo 700 may be a better option. But for the casual user who wants a phone with a few extra features, and not to mention a head-turning design, the Q is an excellent smartphone and a great value for the price.
