I dunno about that phone, I have the SLVR and its been great with the bluetooth, I kinda miss my LG thou

yup like a touch screen for easier browsing and use, i have a blackberry for the past 3 years and the touch screen would make it so much more a pleasure to use

blondboinsd 06-15-2006 03:55 PM

didn't they get shut down or something? (blackberry)

yup.. I have touch screen on my 8125. Also bluetooth voice commands even to activate applications so you don't have to scroll or use stylus. Also, you can hack the registry, shortcut keys, etc.

Another reason I prefered the Nokia 9300 from Cingular. I paid $150 for the phone, and I pay $20/month for unlimited internet. The speed is not quite as fast as Verizon's EVDO broadband, but I do get around 150-170kbps speed with Cingular's EDGE network.

so i hear. i might have to wait till my 2yrs is up and make a splurge

The blackberry I had was great for a while, but not quite good enuff at internet. This Q is much better than the blackberry, but I can see those of you coming from a Treo not liking the Q.

Also, I'm not the kind of person to have the Batman Belt of cell phones, so I liked the Q being smaller.

Also, I'm not creating spreadsheets and so forth, so the Treo was a little too much...

The touch screen would be nice, but, again, coming from the blackberry - I'm used to the click wheel.

I hadn't had Bluetooth, good color screen, camera, or good internet... This has all that and an miniSD - Blackberry had none (my 8700)... Plus, this was much cheaper than the new 700p's...

And a pleasant suprise was it working with the 5 series. Very nice suprise - it has the phone book and everything... I've never had a car that linked to the cell phone so easily (other than the ones that were attached to the car in the 80's).

thanks for the review and input definitely much appreciated as i will be heavily contemplating the purchase. i too have the 8700 and its fine although its business issued and i like to keep my business and personal life separate

I had a Razr (Cingular) took it back today. Screen washed out outside, the fit and finish looked a little hap-hazard, Voice message alert happens only once, No visible signs that the thing is on. But these were my pet peeves. Straw that broke the Camels back came when I needed to access some information that I knew i had on my puter. Just no comparison. Moto also still has issues regarding trying to use the keyboard to type information. It just frustrated me. Bottom line i needed more function than just making calls. There were some things I liked but the bad outweighed the good. So I went 700P. I'm having fun. Yeah it's gonna cost more but the relief from the frustration will be worth it.

Yeah my RAZR was the phone I got first, but it got bought back by Motorola 1 month after I bought it, I wasn't happy :)
