As a self-proclaimed Treo 650 Junkie, I am always making sure there is no competing device that I should be lusting after.A few weeks ago I started to see reports about the
Motorola Q
Laptop Battery This phone seems to be Motorola's answer to the Treo 650 (or maybe even the Treo 700!). It's a thin somewhat attractive PDA phone running windows. What makes it more like a Treo (or the upcoming Blackberry 8300c) is its form factor including the compact QWERTY keyboard.
The same cable that comes in the box with your Treo 650 smartphone, it can attach directly to the Multi Connector on your smartphone, or to the back of a Treo 650 cradle kit. box charger or Travel Charger to recharge the batteries in your device. Connects to the USB port on your computer and works with your smartphone, handheld, or with the cradle kit from palmOne. Uses new Multi Connector by palmOne. Six foot cable reaches around or under desks.- For Software downloads please
Thinkpad My test for the true usefulness of a QWERTY keyboard is whether I can write an email comfortably with one hand while stopped at a traffic light. Usually to add to this test I need to do so without my wife noticing ("could you please stop emailing while you're driving!?") and all this over the noise of our 6 kids, 4 of whom are under the age of 4.
- Your Treo 650 phone is as attractive and usable as ever while protected from dust and scratches in this crystal case. Palm Treo 650
- Extremely tough, durable and will keep your Treo on display while protecting it from everyday wear and tear.
- Precise cutouts give access to all vital buttons.
- Shock absorbent and Shatterproof.
- Treo fits securely into the case.
- Detachable swivel belt clip allows for adjustment on your belt.
- Stylish in design yet leaves all phone functions easily accessible.
Microsoft So if I were deciding which PDA to get in the next 3-5 months it would be between: Treo 650/700 Blackberry 8300c and the Motorola Q.

Laptop Computers My criteria - Assuming excellent reception, Bluetooth, and basic feautures.
- Ease of use (Palm Treo 650 might beat the others because of Palm OS here)
- Weight and Coolness (Motorola Q might be the winner on this one - but I need to see it to be sure)
- Durability (The Blackberry 8300c for Cingular might win on this count - Blackberries are famously durable)
- Price (not sure which one will be the best value - usually switching carriers is the best plan to get lower equipment costs.)

Laptop Computer So why the excitement over the Motorola Q?
I think the main reason is because of how Motorola is changing how people view their cell phones. Look at the runaway success of the Motorola Razr V3 for Cingular and T-Mobile. Look also at the upcoming Magenta (can you say 'pink'?) and Baby Blue (uh, it looks grey to me!) phones. Motorola is doing a great job in branding as well as advertising while also giving a great feature set at a low price.
Also note that notifications are not presented for mail that has already been read, either on the Treo or in another email client. Only new, unread mail causes alerts to be triggered. Resets, Crashes, etc. Why am I getting resets (crashes) on my Treo The stable versions of ChatterEmail are extremely reliable for most users, but some users will see resets on their Treo's (especially Treo 650's).
Desktop Computer The one drawback I can find - the one that might keep me from getting the Motorola Q? No touchscreen. I am not sure why they would have designed this device without one. I think the main problem with no touch screen will be getting Treo faithful to switch over. So if you are into the touch this may not be for you.
Notebooks If Motorola Can do for the Motorola Q what it did for Razor phone - we may see a virtual explosion in sales of PDAs past the corporate Blackberry zone.
