The Motorola Q (Multimedia Phone) does everything. Think of it as a hybrid. Overall I love this phone; besides being a good phone you can do just about anything you want with it. Surf the web at high speeds, send/receive email, text with friend or co-workers. There is a big community of techno geeks out there and if you need any help you can get it easily. When reading things that go off the screen the scrool wheel is awesome. Motorola really took the best of the Treo and Blackberry and put it into a slick unit.

The designers of the Motorola Q (Multimedia Phone) borrowed the RAZR’s slim stylishness and mated it with a generous suite of productivity tools. Weighing in at just 4 ounces and ½” thick, the Q contains an awesome array of work and play functions. It includes the popular Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, Bluetooth Wireless for streaming music, high-speed downloads, and a 1.3 megapixel flash camera.

The Motorola Q (Multimedia Phone) is a compact, great-looking, hard-working, fun machine that you can actually afford to own. It has all of the essentials in a small, very stylish package. It would be nice if it had WiFis. The battery life is very good and the processor is fast. This is a terrific combination of both without getting too bulky. You have to get used to navigating with the buttons instead of a touch screen but anyone who is the least bit tech savy can pick it up in no time. It’s a great smart phone, not a miniature laptop.

I have used many PDA models over the last several years and found the Q to be one of the best values around. Its easier to use than many others I have used and reviewed and also seems to be simpler to use. So why choose an ordinary cell phone when you can get a Motorola Q (Multimedia Phone) that lets you do all this:

• Work on the fly - view Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files
• Listen to streaming stereo music with built-in Bluetooth Wireless
• Enjoy fast download speeds for data and music
• Use Microsoft’s “Today” screen to quickly find your information and programs
• Take high quality pictures and videos with camera and built in flash
• Send and receive text and instant messages, emails, pictures, videos and more

This kind of versatility at this kind of price (free!) means that the Motorola Q (Multimedia Phone) may just be the bargain of the year.
