    >>>>>>NEW Cell phone time AGAIN! Who has the Motorola Q or Treo 700w or XV6700?<<<<<<

    Which do you have and do you like, love or hate them?

    Anything buggy or quirky that keeps happening to them or are they stable?

    They all run on Windows Mobile 5.0 so have pretty much the same features although the weight, size, keyboards, talk-times, price, etc vary.

    Help me out here with some info, peoples!

    I need to pick up 2 phones by Thursday and these are my choices!

    Motorola Q



    Treo 700w



    XV6700

            Farley from AVN got the MOTO Q last week and was praising it in SD this past weekend, however when he got home on sunday and put it down (not hard or anything) and it turned off and wouldn't turn back on for 20 minutes.

            Then today he said he ended a call and noticed 30 minutes later that the phone hadn't actually hung up. he pressed end and it WOULD NOT end. Had to open it up and pull the battery out and reboot.

            Anything like that happen to you?

            When did you pick it up?

              well, all those choices suck 'cuz you still have to be with verizon. I was hyped about the Q, but since it's CDMA and verizon only, there's no way in hell I'm going that route. There should be a GSM version of the Q by the end of this year, but user opinions have been mixed anyways. The Q has no wifi or touch screen.

              What I've been looking for is a phone that has a bad-ass mp3 player and camera. I've looked at virtually everything - the i-mates aren't bad (only available unlocked) and now the Nokia N series looks pretty fucking amazing.

              The N91 has 4GB internal memory mp3 player and 2 MP camera; the N93 has a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder with Carl Zeiss optics, the N92 has a TV tuner; most come with USB, bluetooth, wifi, Mini SD card slots and even 3G support (which will be great whenever the US finally catches up with the rest of the world)

                From reading many user reviews of the Q, this seems to be a common problem.

                  Stick with the Treo. Once you go touchscreen & EvDo with the palm apps on the side you will never go back.

                    That does look pretty fuckin' sweet ... but I need to have a PDA type phone for when I'm out of the office and the choices are pretty limited when it comes to REAL nationwide coverage. not too concerned with International.

                    I have a T-Mobile Blackberry and the voice service eats balls and the web service is painfully slow!

                    Verizon supposedly has the best coverage and speediest web service in the states ... what's your issue with Verizon? PLEASE - I want to know!

                      The 700 I'm thinking about is with the Window Mobile 5.0 OS

                      Why is Palm OS better?

                        I don't have a huge issue with verizon - I just prefer and am happy with T-mobile. Verizon is CDMA which is supposed to be a more outdated and proprietary technology. GSM is more of a worldwide standard. Of course many countries have upgraded to 3G networks which is the future. Also, I've heard nothing but bad things about verizon's customer service and their rate plans are about twice as expensive. There are better values and services out there - that's my .

                          Nooooooo! Get the 700P. The Palm software does everything the Windows software does plus the extra stability. It's like Linux for PDA's but with a WHOLE lot more productivity apps developed for it.

                          Not to mention I use my Treo and PDANet to make a high speed data modem for my laptop for free. Yes, F R E E*

                            interesting take. I usually get a new phone every year. When 3G hits here I'll get aboard Right now that's not a concern.

                            I guess it's the lesser of MANY evils when picking a phone or service provider. There's price, customer service and reliability. Every cell company lacks in one or a number of areas and regionally there are differences within each company as well.

                            T-Mobile SUCKS here SUCKS!!! i guess in FL they are pretty good. Internationally they are at the top of the heap too but here they SUCK!!!



                            And i hear Verizon has great support ... I'll pay for it - price isn't an issue necessarily

                            LOL

                              Verizon carries the 700p too. I'll have to hit you on ICQ if you're around tomorrow. I gotta do something SOON!

                              thanks for the info!

                                Verizon gets great service in the U.S. period. People can say they use "old" technology which may be the case, but their phone coverage/call quality and EvDO access speeds cannot be beat. I'm going to upgrade my Razr soon to a Q or 700p. 700w looks sweet, but has been very buggy and a number of friends who own it always have to do hard resets because the OS freezes. Q is a smartphone though, which means it doesn't run Windows Mobile Pocket PC edition. It supports MS Exchange, but I think you need a 3rd party app to get it to push to the Q, like on a Blackberry.

                                Does anyone else have the Q?

Also, I've heard nothing but bad things about verizon's customer service and their rate plans are about twice as expensive. There are better values and services out there - that's my .


                                          Verizon has 3g which goes by the name of EVDO and they are soon rolling out the next big bad thing. Actually all American providers with the exception of T-Mobile have 3G. So you're behind the ball a little bit. 3g is for data and isn't yet being used for voice.

                                          Providers and their respective 3g networks branded names.

                                              I'm debating the same thing.

                                              The guy at Verizon explained the difference between the two like this:

                                              The MotoQ is a phone with PDA capabilities. The Treo is PDA with phone capabilities.

                                                Palm now uses Windows Mobile...the 700w/700p are the first and second phones.

                                                  Ya that's what they recieved in the training. Motorola requires them to say it as it has sort of become their thing to say as of late.

                                                    I have a T-Mobile Blackberry and the voice service eats balls and the web service is painfully slow!

                                                    Verizon supposedly has the best coverage and speediest web service in the states ... what's your issue with Verizon? PLEASE - I want to know!
                                                    I'm with T-Mobile too and feel the same way. The people on the other end can't stand the delay and echo. I love my Blackberry, but I loved my 2 year old smartphone more.

                                                    Spend you some brain.

                                                        I rarely use the phone feature on my Blackberry. Mostly text msg and it's a back up phone for me. However, my wife does and nobody wants to talk to her when she's on it - the voice quaility REALLY SUCKS!

                                                        BTW - I use my Nextel 3-4k minutes per month and I'm happy with the service and phone even thought it's a bulkt 3+ yr old phone. I've had the "flip" part replaced 3 times and the battery twice but it's the only phone that lasts throughout the day without draining on me and i know all the "drop spots" here in LA.

                                                        Verizon has a 2 week trial period - I'm going to pick a phone and if the service is comparable or better - I'm just going to keep it and use the Nextel as the backup!

                                                          That would definitely help!

I was hyped about the Q, but since it's CDMA and verizon only, there's no way in hell I'm going that route. There should be a GSM version of the Q by the end of this year, but user opinions have been mixed anyways. The Q has no wifi or touch screen.

                                                                  What I've been looking for is a phone that has a bad-ass mp3 player and camera. I've looked at virtually everything - the i-mates aren't bad (only available unlocked) and now the Nokia N series looks pretty fucking amazing.

                                                                  check out these bad boys:

                                                                  The N91 has 4GB internal memory mp3 player and 2 MP camera; the N93 has a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder with Carl Zeiss optics, the N92 has a TV tuner; most come with USB, bluetooth, wifi, Mini SD card slots and even 3G support (which will be great whenever the US finally catches up with the rest of the world)

                                                                  This is a pimp phone

                                                                  That looks awesome!!

You can hook it up to your laptop as use as a modem too. So many dif apps and games you can get for it. I got a 2 gig memory card for it, and its awesome with windows media, can load a shitload of mp3s onto it and even movies.

I was hyped about the Q, but since it's CDMA and verizon only, there's no way in hell I'm going that route. There should be a GSM version of the Q by the end of this year, but user opinions have been mixed anyways. The Q has no wifi or touch screen.

                                                                                    What I've been looking for is a phone that has a bad-ass mp3 player and camera. I've looked at virtually everything - the i-mates aren't bad (only available unlocked) and now the Nokia N series looks pretty fucking amazing.

                                                                                    check out these bad boys:

                                                                                    This is a pimp phone

                                                                                        They all run on Windows Mobile 5.0 so have pretty much the same features although the weight, size, keyboards, talk-times, price, etc vary.

                                                                                        Help me out here with some info, peoples!

                                                                                        It was time for an upgrade for me too, and I was seriously looking at the Q.

                                                                                        For everything you want to know about Q go to: http://Qusers.com


                                                                                        Although the hardware for the Q is great, I decided against it for the following reasons.

                                                                                        1) No real, instant "push" email... like the Blackberry. There may be a future
                                                                                        solution IF your email is hosted on an exchange server. The VZEnail solution from Verizon is a kludge.

                                                                                        2) It runs Windows Smart Phone 5. Still a bit cluinky and lots of menus and clicks to do simple things. Can read some MS Office docs but can't change em.

                                                                                        3) Verizon's minimal plan is $80/month for 450mins and unlimited data. You need to commit to 2 years. Unlimited data does not include any SMS messages.

                                                                                        4) Pretty poor battery life.....not more than a day... if that.

                                                                                        Instead I got this and I'm quite happy...

You can hook it up to your laptop as use as a modem too. So many dif apps and games you can get for it. I got a 2 gig memory card for it, and its awesome with windows media, can load a shitload of mp3s onto it and even movies.

The message gets forwarded to my Blackberry e-mail where it is instantly pushed to my phone, and the message is also left on the inbox where it is pulled down at some point by Outlook.

                                                                                                I'm not sure how you would do it on a Smart Phone since there is no push e-mail and there is only a pull.
