Motorola Q Black Cell Phone User Reviews

Pros: Great touchscreen interface, smooth sliding, keyboard is easy to use. Great call quality as well.

Cons: Recording sound seemed to be a little off. Otherwise, nothing wrong.

Summary: I absolutely love this phone. The touchscreen works very well and is easy to adjust to (coming from a regular push button phone). The keyboard has a good layout and is easy to use. Overall, I would definitely recommend this phone!

Pros: Easy to handle, great sound, easy to learn and use

Cons: Choice of ringtones and finding accessories for the phone

Summary: This is my first touch screen phone and I love it. It's easy to use and operate. The keyboard is very easy to use and I really enjoy the touch screen. The camera is great and I used the video yesterday to record AQHA show and it was very clear. A great purchase.

Pros: Feels nice in hand, good weight, great touchscreen, smooth slide, great apps, good call quality

Cons: Slightly slow UI, little bit bulky

Summary: Very nice phone, the colors are great, nice clear screen, bright good quality screen, still has the same problem as the sidekick though its too bulky. Other than that its a great phone and a good buy.

Pros: Keyboard works for me; screen is clear and easy to read (when it's lit); size is convenient; seems pretty tough; recharges quickly

Cons: software lacks a lot; microphone is all but useless for voice dialing; back-light time-out options

Summary: I can't quite remember now why I didn't replace my stolen Blackberry with another one, but the Q seemed a good idea at the time. Honestly, it's very serviceable, very good-looking, fits nicely into my hands, pocket, side of purse and I've found the keyboard easy to use. initial synchronization with my Outlook contacts was quick and straightforward. Initial setup of Bluetooth was difficult due to poor instructions on finding the "Discover Me" mode on the Q. Although microphone is adequate for speakerphone purposes, it is totally inadequate for voice dialing and I'm still trying to find out if I can use some sort of voice tag for each contact to mitigate that. So far, no luck. Up until now, Blackberry was the only cell phone/PDA I had used and if something happens to this one, I'll probably go back. Seems sturdy enough. I've dropped it once or twice without ill effect and carry it around in my purse without a cover. also, there needs to be a longer-time choice between "never" and "60 seconds" for back-light time-out. Finally, Microsoft needs to take some basic lessons from RIM as to PDA software.

Pros: good keyboard (when keys don't stick), extended battery, easy Bluetooth sync, pictures

Cons: everything....keys stick, delays in all applications, difficult navigation of everything, text message organization, just a lot.

Summary: Hopefully I just received a random broken phone, but this phone was horrible. Turned it back in within 20 days. Everything froze, the h and m keys don't work on text, bluetooth connection would just drop, no direct camera key, email set up was impossible, backlight was never the same each time (no matter what setting you have it on), missed calls like crazy, horrible static during calls. Good thing was the battery (extended) lasts forever. Good speakerphone (just not on receiving end of convo).

Pros: a little black box that holds everything you need, for work and play. i've waited all my life to entertain myself when i'm waiting on line, in the car, etc. i would buy it again and again. i bought this before it the touch screen may have possibly be the next step. i love a clean screen. the wide screen, easy read buttons, zoom, exceptional. it even has a task manager that "kills" unwanted running programs.

Cons: the feature of day, date, and year was untrue since the "long date" will never allow the day to be shown on the screen: manager at motorola said, "oopps, i guess not." battery must be charged since the web. last but not least: i have not found chess games that motorola endorses.

Summary: great "all in one". i'm wishing for the same gadget with a 4x4" screen. . . more of a computer with a phone. i understand that had this at one time but stopped making it (b.w. before web). this is as close as you can get to it and highly recommend it and endorse without reservation. hoping the games will catch up!!!!

Pros: looks nice and slim fast internet

Cons: kinda hard to use...and something that is REALLY annoying is that if u get a text the ringer keeps playing until its over...even when the text message has already been read it will keep ringing until the song is over...when in meetings or public places it gets a little old and we can't figure out how too stop it...

Summary: More of a business phone,not recommended for teens...go with a different phone and there isn't the best battery life either

Pros: Thin, sexy, large screen, very similar to my blackberry in button layout, usb-mini sync/charge port, voice recognition is good, speaker is good (callers can hear me an i can hear them.) Holds 2gb mini-sd. Battery lasts with the righ preparation of powermanagement

Cons: adding new contact from unknown number, cant press letter to go to similar lettered entries if just adding to existing contact, silver buttin is not a joystick, though that would be nice, No MMS is available yet.

Summary: This phone is more like a business extension device then a phone. It has web, mobile outlook which is easily synced with MS.Exchange (very handy for smb users and entrepreneurs). The device is a good looking device, balances well in the hand for great one-handed action (texting, short email replies, etc ...) the only things that its missing is wireless (802.11) and MMS capabilities, although that might be a consequence of the providers not enabling the MMS feature. Beyond that its a very business friendly device and well recommended. There are a few tips to extend the battery ( turn beaming off, set displays to turn down after 10 sec, and dim the screen with utility caled candlelight, and youll love your phone battery life like me.

Pros: Easyn to hold with the rubber coating

Cons: Unbelieveably hard to use.

Summary: Would not sync. Buttons are too close together. Navigating around the phone was difficult. Speaker mode was very tinny. Provided case was a joke. I hated this thing so bad that after a week I took it back for credit. Thank goodness for the two week grace period. I have always had Motorola phones and loved everyone until this one. Doing anything with it was a chore!
Battery life was terrible. If you feel you must buy one of these then opt for the extended battery. Original battery would not get me through a work day if I used it very much. Motorola should be ashamed of battery performance with this unit.

Pros: Small in size. The internet is fast.

Cons: Cheaply made, Has some software glitches that leave you thinking why did that happen. The software is slow and laggy. It does not get loud enough for alarms or for ringer. the calandar is hard to use and hard to view upcoming events. And many many more.

Summary: This is most likly the next "razr" that everyone is going to have to have. In my opinion, if you need a PDA please step up and get a blackberry or a palm treo or something like that, otherwise leave the Q at the store.

Pros: The phone has great features and is generally pretty good

Cons: The emails you download using a POP3 service only stay on the device until you delete them off the server. Once your POP3 mail client removes the message from your mail server, the device seems to think it should also delete them from itself. This is the MOST ANNOYING "feature" of the thing. In my opinion, it should keep messages until you TELL IT to delete them.

Summary: The phone sometimes reboots itself for no apparent reason, but otherwise it's a pretty capable device.

Pros: The size, styling and weight are terrific. The screen is clear and vibrant, and the voice quality is the best I've ever had. I find the navigation fairly intuitive.

Cons: The battery takes a long time to charge, and the life is nowhere near that of BlackBerry (which spoiled me), even with the "large" battery. It has required me to change my habits and charge up much more frequently. I purchased an additional charger to keep in my suitcase so I won't ever forget it.

Summary: I would highly recommend it. I didn't rate quality/durability since I've only had it for two weeks, but I will add that it has survived 2 three or four foot drops onto a hard surface.

Pros: I am still in the trial and error stages of learning the new Motorola Q, but WOW here is what I think so far. Features that have impressed me most are the voice and sound quality, using voice commands with the Bluetooth headset, photo quality, vibrant screen, MMS, and DUN with PDANET.

Cons: I don't feel like the scroll wheel is sturdy enough. Seems to lag and could really use some better shortcuts. For example, it takes three steps just to get to the InBox...

Summary: Even with a few small complaints, I am never expecting to find perfection in my cellular phone. For the few short hours I have been playing, I am impressed and believe this is going to end up being very popular!

Pros: This phone has it all. I love having access to my calendar, contacts, e-mail etc. (The best part was it took like three minutes to upload using wireless sync. Sound quality is great, on and off the speakerphone.

Cons: When putting the battery case on my new Q I was disappointed by the "cheap" feel of the cover. I was also bothered by the amount of time it took the phone to boot up. I understand this is a with a lot going on inside of it, but at least show me something. Let me know it's atleast attempting to come on!

Summary: Besides the cheap feel of the phone, I have been impressed with the features and the programs. As long as the phone doesn't fall apart or the scrool wheel fall off, I would recommend giving the Q a shot!
