Moto Q versus RIM Blackberry 7130c

Moto Q versus RIM Blackberry 7130cPopgadget placed a quick versus battle between Motorola’s new Q against RIM’s new Blackberry 7130c and who comes out on top? Motorola, by a hair.

For most users, perhaps the most significant drawback of the Moto Q is the absence of push email ability without using SMS or a third-party client. The Blackberry conveniently scores here as Cingular’s BlackBerry Internet Service provides push email to the handset. However, for me personally, the absence of integrated push email facility is not really vital, as I am not a keen instant email user. The other drawback with the Moto Q is that there is no possibility of using the device as an EV-DO modem for a PC, which could be rather disappointing.

Overall, however, my first impressions of the Motorola Q place it a notch higher than the Blackberry 7130c. This time around, Motorola seems to have goten it right, and this phone has potential as a Blackberry killer.

I think without a push e-mail service, no other device will beat out the Blackberry, as that is one of the most important uses of such a device. I honestly don’t understand, with the drawbacks listed, how the Motorola Q comes out on top.
