I recently pickup a “Motorola Q” at my local Verizon Wireless store. The “Q” is one of the first smart phones running Windows Mobile 5. The device is very light weight at 4.05 oz and thin at 4.56 inches tall x 2.48 inches wide x 0.45 inches thick. The first thing I look for in a mobile device is its balance. By that I mean does its weight and size match up and fit in my hand. The “Q” meets both of my requirements.

I am syncing my desktops outlook 2003 (email, contacts, and tasks) to the mobile outlook on the device with Verizon’s wireless sync service. The sync is sometimes slow, taking up to 30 minutes during pick hours to notify me of new updates. Despite the sometimes slow updates, I think it’s still a good service. Browsing the web on its mobile IE is as good as any mobile device I have tested.

The only issue I have had so far is with battery life. Even with the extended battery, I have to plug it in for a quick charge in the evenings.

Here are a few links to other sites about the “Q”:
