Motorola Q
Biggest Issues with the Q?
What would everybody say is the biggest issues they have with the Q. I don't really live in an area where pda's and smartphones are a big seller. I usually base what device I buy on customer feedback, but in this case I don't have much to go on. Its an attractive price for a smartphone and I just wanted to see if it would be worth taking a shot with this one.

in building recepttion sucks
overall it is stable
no reminder beep for missed calls, messages, but thats an easy fix
random glitches like text message loss after soft reset, crap like that
when entering multiple message recipients, the quick search by letter in the "to" field quits working
when loading larger webpages, it may give a network failure error when there is no actual failure

so just minor random stuff, like with any electronic device then. Thanks for the input.

I recently quit working for verizon but before leaving purchased the Q. Its the most stable smartphone other than a blackberry, but then the blackberry does not have all the capabilites of the Q. The only problem ive had is that when i press too many buttons too fast it sometimes gets stuck or takes an extra second to catch up. They usually come out with free software upgrades to fix things like that.

No Broadband tethering, no GPS navigation possible without external receiver, no touch pad, key buttons are too small 1/8" (How do you dial 800-FLOWERS without a cheat sheet), Bluetooth too unstable for car kits, voice commands only work in speakerphone mode.
...
Well I don't need to tether my internet connection, Buttons are small on any Pda. I think bluetooth is unstable on every device (I haven't seen a phone that didn't have one issue or another). I'm a dissappointed that its not VZ navigator compatable though. and with no touch screen and very small buttons I could see how dialing out without voice commands could really suck. I don't want to feel like my bubble has burst. Most of this stuff seems software related. Is the phone hackable to unlock these features, or will there be a software revision to correct them? (rhetorical question) I guess time will tell. I'm kinda waiting for EVDO to get to me before I make the leap to a PDA anyway.

The Q work great in my Acura TL. I was able to use my TL's voice commands to call numbers via bluetooth. I've also been getting really good reception, even in elevators. Orlando, FL.
...
I have a TL as well and use my handsfree, but the one issue that I have is that when it's connected the ring profile automatically goes to "headset". this means that any notification such as incoming text msg or email does not ring on the phone. The "headset" profile plays all those tones through the bluetooth headset, but technically we are not connected to a headset.
Do you have the same issue?

I purchased my Q three days ago and will return it. Going back to my i730. Reasons:
1) It takes about 20 seconds to load my 2600 contacts, and that's everytime I open contacts. To be fair the i730 with WM5 does the same thing, so I think it's a fault with WM5. WM3 could handle them. That's why I tried the Q. (Main reason I'm returning).
2) Makes more unwanted calls that the i730 does.
3) Couldn't get Active Synce to stop syncing.
4) No real calculator (Prob could use a 3rd party program)
5) Too many moves to get into speed dial and call history
6) Menu function doesn't work in Programs (I probably could have found a fix for this).
