Motorola Q

Anyone have one yet?
I have been reading up on them and really like what I see. I'm planning on switching on Verizon anyway due to better service in NC and this just gives me another reason to switch. I currently have a Treo 650 and really have enjoyed it, but while I use the PDA functions here and there I have considered going back to a regular phone. Now that I'm doing this Yotatech Tour I'm going to want wireless internet. The Q supports wireless broadband and is easily modded to offer this access to a laptop which will be VERY helpful while on this trip. Being a Mac guy I'm a little weary buying a windows mobile device but there are already software packages that allow isync to work with it so I'm really starting to like the size and idea of the Q. Just read another article on it and it will also read all sorts of media files including the ipod/itunes AAC files, including the videos!

well, this is my first post with the Q and so far I'm really happy with the unit. its a tad bigger but 1/3 the thickness and weight of my treo. those considering a smartphone and want something small, this is a great package. Those with a mac (like me) have to get software to be able to use isync but aside from that I have no real complaints. It is a little differen't not havin a touch screen but I have yet to really miss it yet. So far, so good!

I just got a Treo 650 and have not used it to its full extent... Let me know how the Q turns out as it looks cool.

How about a pic of it next to a dollar for scale. I'm getting tired of carrying both an ipaq and razr.

Make sure you include a sunset in the background, long exposure and all. I need new wallpaper.

How fast is it? I had one motorola phone and i HATED it..and ive used Razr's a million times and they suck also. Ive also heard 5325234 negative comments about razrs at work.

Keep us updated on how you like the device. I am thinking about getting one also but im not sure if I want that or a newer treo

I am debating between the Motorola Q and the Motorola RAZR V3m. I have not gotten a chance to hold a Q yet, so I don't really know how big it is. I really like the idea of having the functionality of the Q, but am quite concerned with its size. Also, I already own a Palm Tungsten T3 which I use all the time, so I don't know if I should mix platforms (Palm and Windows Mobile).

Between the two, which would you guys choose?
