Motorola Q Review

Motorola QMobile Burn has a review up on the Motorola Q a device much like the BlackBerry from RIM that everyone loves, and that is what they compare it to many times throughout the review. It has been recently released on Verizon Wireless’ CDMA EV-DO network.

Physically, the Motorola Q is much like a traditional RIM BlackBerry that has been stretched a bit longer, narrower, and thinner. It measures 116mm x 66mm x 12mm (4.6″ x 2.6″ x .5″) in size. When compared to the Palm Treo 700p we just reviewed, the Q is 3mm longer (if you ignore the 700p’s stub antenna), 6mm wider, and about half as thick. When you consider that the Q weighs only 122g (4.3oz) with a miniSD card inserted, you end up with a very pocketable device that weighs 15 to 50g less than the competition. That’s something that Motorola can be proud of.

In the end they gave it a rating of highly recommended as it is compact, light, slick looking, is EV-DO enabled, and has a reasonably easy to use QWERTY keyboard. Some of the downsides of the unit include a short battery life, mediocre camera, and the lack of any WiFi abilities.
