Motorola Q
Dumping the 'Q'
I bought the 'Q' on Monday and I'm taking it back today. I also have a Blackberry and you can't beat that for email. But I also need a Windows device since I develop internet apps for handhelds. Hence the purchase.
Here's my brief summary of the good and the bad with the 'Q':
What's good:
Slim and light weight. I forgot I had it in my jean's pocket.
Looks cool. (Flavor of the month for techy types, but that will pass.)
Feels nice and solid to me.
Best phone camera I've ever tried (but still stinks, good for a Susquatch sighting but no match for a "real" camera).
Unlimited video shooting length (many only allow 15 - 30 second clips). Small video but OK quality with sound.
What's bad:
Screen is too small and some text is...

I agree with all of your points.
Additionally, the lack of Broadband tethering ability was a major downgrade from the RAZR. Let's face it, you need to travel with a laptop if you need to get any real work done.
Also, while you can't get VZ Navigator, the GPS on the Q is inaccessible to any navigation software on the market. You need to buy an external receiver for programs like Pocket Streets, CoPilot, Tom Tom, and even for the new products made just for the Q.
