Recommendation: LG enV or Moto Q?

Hi everyone,
My contract is almost up and I want to upgrade to a new phone. I currently have the VX8000 and I really like the enV a lot - I am almost convinced to get it, but I still have a few questions. I like Windows Mobile OS and the size of the Moto Q Black. However, I have heard and read that the Q has had numerous problems and many people have returned it or hate it because it is buggy. However, I raally like having Outlook, Word, and full HTML browser at my fingertips.
The enV, however, I really like the that design/style and have repeatedly read very high comments about it here and other sites as well. Since it's not a PDA, though, it doesn't have Outlook or Word and only has WAP.

I've seen/played with both at the VZW store and like both of them. So it comes down to whether I should get the enV or Q - reliable with not as advanced features or "unreliable" but with greater features?
Ideally, if the enV had any of those three features (such as full HTML browser), I'd go for it without question.

Could someone please give me some suggestions? Or has anyone heard of any rumors for the next version of the enV? I got my 8000 in March '05, and the 8100 came out in June or July '05. So if possible, I don't want to get a new phone just to have it discontinued with a newer model out less than six months later.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The EnV is the best. I've used both, and the EnV is lightyears better.

I currently carry both. You have to decide which is more important to you. The Q has received a bad rap since the initial lot has some software glitches (freeze ups-which meant you had to take the battery off to restart). Since I had a FRU, I haven't encountered any problems. The second version of the motorola software has really helped. Don't let others scare you away from it. Its a good device. Now, get the EnV if you want a nice phone with great features for texting (QWERTY Keyboard), Awesome 2 MP camera with some neat options (auto focus, lighting, resolution, save to card), VZNavigator (this program beats "Tom Tom" for a fraction of the price), loud speaker phone, all around excellent phone.

Suggestions if you get the Q-get an ...

But nothing is wrong with having a Q, or any other PDA/smartphone on the side. I have a 700w in addition. Nice Combo.
