User Submitted Motorola Q Global Smartphone (AT&T) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-04-19 Fun gadgets! I just recently bought my Moto q (from ATT) I have to say it keeps me pretty busy just fooling around with the features. I just renewed my plan and actually got this phone for 50 bucks! ATT has great deals. ON TOP OF THAT! The phone was refurbished (explaining the $50 part) I cant complain about the phone at all. I recieved it and it and it might as well be brand new! Sure beats the Cingular 8125 (one I previously owned before the Moto) it may be large in height and width, but its as thin as a razor. No complaints at all! Date: 2008-04-09 makes me wish I kept my Treo I was very excited to pick up the new Q. I was having a bluetooth issue on my older treo, and decided to upgrade wo Windows Mobile based upon all the hype. That was a huge mistake. My old Treo 650 runs circles around this poor device. The good - well it does look pretty. The bad - it is slow. Glacierly slow. It is large, with crazy bulge for battery.Did I mention it is slow? Software is subpar from 5 year old Palm offerings, no threaded SMS, are you kidding me? Oh yeah - almost forgot, it is slow. It took about 45 minutes for that new car feeling to come to a crashing halt. I was sure I was doing something wrong when the SMS client did not thread messages. I went back to the Sprint store, confessed my stupidity, and then was shocked to find out that WM does not support threaded SMS (of course I have since learned if I want to install software that will make Sprint immediately refuse to service my phone, I can get threaded SMS, for only 50 bucks, no thank you.) The calendar is pathetic, the views show too little information, and do not have a graphical representation of your day, so you do not get an idea of what free time you have. Adding a new appointment is laborious. The email client is great at first, but the menus are so deep in layer after layer, that customization of your email client is too time consuming. Speaking of menu's why must I navigate 7 separate screens to clear the voicemail icon? I will not mention the smaller display or the lack of touch screen. I am looking for a used treo, this thing is miserable. Date: 2008-03-31 Great phone I have had this phone for a few months now and I really like it. It's fairly light (though wide) and solid. The features are really nice to have. The sound is good. I have not used it as a music player yet (and likely won't) but for phone, email, texting it's great. The only thing I find hard is "typing" on those keys because they are so far at the bottom of the device that it tends to pitch backwards because I have to hold it at the very bottom. I would love to see a phone where the display is at the bottom and the keys on top so I can hold it with my whole hand instead of my tippy tips of my fingers. I also end up not using the internet much because it's soooooo slow and you can only see a teensy part of the website at a time (unless you zoom out, in which case you can't read jack). But it's good for those times where you're out with friends and just need to know how old Sally field is (62, in case you wondered). I have some issues with ATT customer service, but that's another review... Date: 2008-03-07 My First Smartphone--A Great Choice!! After considerable research, I finally took the plunge and purchased my first smartphone, Motorola's Q Global 9h. I had used a PDA off and on but was disenchanted with docking stations, stylus usage, and carrying both a phone and a PDA. I am extremely pleased with this purchase but bear in mind, I have not owned other brands. Compared to similar offerings, the Motorola Q is much slimmer and lightweight. I was attracted to its functionality, its looks, and its potential to do what I needed done. The voice and sound qualities of the phone exceed my expectations as does the built in camera. I have not yet tried to use the music aspects but that was not important to me in my selection. The full QWERTY keyboard is easy to use compared to others in this class and the interface to the internet is very easy to manipulate. Its voice recognition component has been outstanding so far. The standard battery has been so functional to this point, that I have not even charged the extended battery. Since my corporate system is based on Windows, I needed a Windows Mobile software unit to sync with my corporate requirements. I was amazed with how quickly I was able to sync with my work units, how quick the interface is, and how accessible my emails and corporately based data is now available in my handset wherever I am in the US or world (mostly). All my contacts, my calendar, and all incoming emails appear in my handset within seconds of arriving at my office computer. I especially appreciate the ability to receive my Windows based email from work on my MOTO Q9h but also my email from accounts at AOL and Yahoo. One glance at the screen and I can see email waiting on my Outlook account, my AOL account, a text message, and any voicemails. I assume other smartphones can do this, but it is pretty slick, nonetheless. All in all, this is a great smartphone and I am extremely pleased with it. It is reassuring to know I have the equivalent of everything from an MP3 player to a camera to an internet portal to a video player--all that and a great phone too! After 3 weeks with this device, I unequivocally recommend it those in search of a quality smartphone. Date: 2008-03-07 Great upgrade from my VerizonQ Just upgraded from a Verizon Q. AT&T shipped the phone quickly and the transfer of my number was an unexpectedly quick, easy, and automated process. Great phone, easy to use. A huge step forward for Motorola.
