Question Motorola Q... any opinions?

Hey folks... I am looking at a new cell plan and leaning towards the Motoroal Q from Verizon... my daughter works for Bank of America and gets a pretty good discount from verizon on plans and accessories... I have been with USCellular for 4+ years... hard to change...

but this is a pretty good little number...

It has windows mobile? on it which I believe Porter Valley mobile will work on...

Let me know any feelings you have with the phone or Verizon...

thanks
Jeff

The small screen and tiny key-buttons could possibly slow the input speed and accuracy. I looked at one as well to reduce the number of pieces of equipment on my belt, and decided to stay with my Dell Axim.

I use InspectVue R3 software for my reports.

Check out http://qusers.com Huge amounts of info on the Q. IMHO, the Q's major advantage is that it is cheap. Otherwise I like Blackberrys (verizon 7130e and 8703e) and then Treos. BTW the Windows on the Q is not the same as on the Dell or Ipaqs. Check out any aps you want to run carefully.

I have The Q and I am very happy with it. Though I do not have inspection software on it yet, so I can't comment on how that works yet.

Cannot comment on the Q. But i do have service with Verizon. Around here at least their service area is great. I very very rarely lose calls. Their CS is so so, about the same as any other cellphone company. Overall I am happier with them than I was with Sprint.

My wife has a Treo with them. she has had some issues with it, locking up frequently. Getting them resolved seems to be pretty hard.
