Or anything else from verizon and why? I really like the slimness of the Q, but the new blackberry is cool too? pros and cons of both? ---

I was looking at the Q yesterday. It seems like a very cool phone. I’m not sure how it stacks up feature-wise with a Blackberry or Treo, but from what I saw, it had everything that I would need and its not quite as bulky as the others. ---

The Q is sort of cheap feeling IMO, as opposed to the rest of the motorola line which feels more solid, this one is cheap plastic. ---

What are you going to be using the phone for primarily? Well, I’ll make it easier. List from most important to least important : Phone, E-mail, texting, Entertainment (Pictures/movies/music) , Calendar/organizer, Web surfing, Expandability. ---

Fuck the Q, no wifi. Personally, I think every Phone Verizon has to offer right now is shit. The PDA/Phones are pretty nice, but get something that is actually a PDA. Even Vzw calls the Q a “Smartphone”. I wish I had stayed T-mobile, woulda gotten that sidekick in a heartbeat. ---

im sure that all the features of the sidekick use some kind of data that costs money. even at that, i dont think it has a browser or even half the amount of apps that the Q aka “smartphone” has. Q pwns sidekick ---

LOL @ you thinking the sidekick is a good phone That thing is the biggest piece of shit ever Although the one feature I truely liked is the always online thing.

The Treo (according to “them”) is a phone first and a PDA second. This is even more true (if there is such a thing) with the Q… rubi is on the right track. i would put the treo as a PDA first. the Q seems to operate “more so” as a phone than a PDA, but in generalities, PDA phones are a lot alike. and :word: to howie’s comment on the sidekick, coverage aside. edit: and if you are going to USE the features, then by all means, get a PDA phone. i see too many people that want it just for the look of it and to “look important”. those are the people that also arnt aware of the data feature. ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > Pretty sure the $44.99 is in addition to the $79. incorrect. the $44.99 data feature i am talking about is an add on to an existing plan. if you switch to the advertised (what you are seeing online) core choice bundle plan you recieve the $40 voice plan and the $45 data plan at a $5 discount. if you are on a family share, you cant get that bundle discount.
