| Motorola Q (Sprint) | Review » |
_it00.jpg) The firmware version on the Q we tested for this review is markedly improved over the previous version. In addition to improvements in performance, the tethered modem support is something we definitely missed in the older Q. Though the Sprint version has a couple of extra software features over the Verizon Wireless version, both phones still suffer for the flaws of Windows Mobile 5, mainly a lack of editing in Office documents and a scheduling app that is a little basic for our tastes. Though we assume the Q, like the T-Mobile Dash, could be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6, until the carriers make an announcement, we're not counting on it. As it stands, however, the Motorola Q remains a competitive device, even compared to more recent phones like the Samsung BlackJack. For CDMA customers looking for a slim smartphone, this is probably your best choice. Release: January 2007. Price: $100.
Pros: Slim design in an attractive shell; better performance and tethered modem support thanks to the firmware upgrade; On Demand is a useful tool.
Cons: No Power Vision support; Internet Explorer can't handle some larger pages; Windows Mobile 6 upgrade still up in the air.
