I almost got one, I thought it was a neat phone. I ended up getting an upstage though. Are you having a problem with yours?

Nice Smartphone but old technology. The Q9 has already been introduced to strong reviews.

My son has had one for a month now. The battery life leaves much to be desired. Seven or eight hours seems to be the max.
I found this site a few days ago. Maybe you can benefit from it.

slackjaw, what problems are you talking about?

Yeah its cool, Jennifer saw it and said "Whys everything got to be so fancy with you?". The next morning it was gone. So now I'm stuck with a hot pink cell phone that I'm going to take a can of flat back to.

I have the Q and love it. The weak areas, in my opinion are:

o Relatively poor battery life
o Slow internet browing speeds (even on EVDO Rev 0)

Other than that is is great...especially for $99!

Yeah $99 for a new customer. But $500 for existing customers!

Had one last summer for a week. Looked nice. That was about it. Got a Treo instead.

The Treo is slightly larger but can do everything easily that the Q can kind of do. The Treo can receive and edit word documents as well as email and can browse the web. I synch mine to a Microsoft Outlook calendar. You can get a larger battery for the Q but it makes it slightly larger. I would be interested in the Q9. When I compared the Q to the Treo for business use the Q's only advantage was its size.

Site is slow but as far as modding info for Motorola phones it's like Pelican.

I can recommend a good divorce mediator. He's pricey though...

But well worth it. You get what you pay for. I'm sure he uses a Treo too.
