I have pretty much settled on sprint when my prepaid mins run out because of their unlimited data not being a ripoff.  but I want to be sure I get the best phone when I move off my prepaid.  I have pretty much set my sight on the light and thin phones (like the Q) vs the bulky pocket pc phones.  I am going to CES in a week so maybe we will see something there. <br><br>Im mainly getting this to surf the internet anywhere and be able to access my media pc to stream live/recorded TV/music/photos etc.  Which Im sure dedicated volume buttons would have helped out with.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron Rodriguez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2007 12:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[this is only a pre-production release if there final release sucks like this im sure im not going to get it ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2007 12:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I haven't used this phone or the Verizon version but here's my issue. I recently purchased a Samsung Blackjack which I ended up returning after 48 hours. Why? I loved the phone but I hated the operating system. Next I bought a Blackberry Pearl. Again, I loved the phone and I hated the operating system. Now this wasn't a surprise because I've had Blackberies in the past but I guess I was hoping that the Pearl would be different. I used to have a Treo...I loved the operating system but I hated the phone! So why doesn't Palm license the operating system for other phones or maybe the question is: Why do phone companies shy away from purchasing Palm licenses to use on their phones? It is the easiest and friendliest OS out there...why not use it instead of the crappy Windows Mobile or any other OS?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Reza E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2007 1:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[1: It's obvious from the photo that the device has a backlit keyboard... It's just that the dark-colored keys only have the letters on them lit, while the light-colored keys have the entire key lit.  2: For those complaining about the Q not having Sprint TV... No WM5-powered smartphone can support Sprint TV... That's why I copped the Treo 700P instead of the 700WX.  Personally, I think WM5 is too complicated when it comes to basic tasks that one would do on any phone, smartphone or otherwise.  Palm is much more user-friendly, even though it's kind of bland.  However, I'm sure the Q will do very well with Sprint simply because of the lower cost for an unlimited data pack, compared to Verizon, Cingular, etc.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JG_06]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2007 2:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[And, for those contemplating a Sprint Q...it has NO built-in Picture Mail or MMS!

With Sprint, pics can only be sent via Pocket Outlook, which only allows e-mails to be sent to a valid email address -- no phone nos. Other carriers use true MMS and, therefore, have no issues sending pics.  Sprint backed themselves into this corner by developing their own, 'mock MMS' (aka PictureMail) which is simply not compatible with Windows Mobile.<br><br>Hopefully the 3rd-party MMS hack that works on the 700wx will do the same for the Q.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[derF]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2007 1:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Any idea when the exact release date is?

A major advantage of voice dialing and BlueTooth headsets is to let the drivers concentrate on DRIVING instead of dealing with a cumbersome phone.  So having both voice dial and BlueTooth without having them integrated is an extreme lack of intelligence.  I'd buy the 700p if the two features worked as they would have had the engineers been awake, breathing and thinking.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve G]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 11th 2007 4:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does the Sprint Q do SMS Text Messaging]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marcus Lang]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2007 4:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Motorola Q officially launches on Sprint, gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/04/motorola-q-officially-launches-on-sprint-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bought a Motorola Q last weekend and the sales people failed to clarify that it does not get Sprint TV or the streaming Sirius satellite radio despite the fact that it is advertised as a PowerVision phone. Those features can be added with an additional cost download and a PhD in network engineering. They also failed to mention that it is not compatible with a free Yahoo email account. This was even unknown to the tech support guy who gave up in frustration after an hour and a half of trying to walk me through the email set up (the fact that I ahd to call tech support for this is a bad sign). He eventually handed off the call to a Motorola tech person who informed me that becauseit was a Windows application device, it only will work with a paid Yahoo account, Sprint Email or Hotmail (Bill Gates!).

I cant get a straight answer from any tech person. I did an up grade for my Sprint account and took home the Q.<br>Using my old phone I could upload directily to my sprint picture mail account  but I cant even do that or its to difficult with this Q!!!

Although, since I jumped to the Q from a Blackberry 7100i (no flames, por favor - I know the 7100i sucks), I do appreciate the fact that you can SMS when you need to (unlike the 7100i where EVERY text was MMS). I want MMS support, though. Any phone hitting the shelves now should support MMS.<br><br>As to the positive factors - I can use ActiveSync to deal with my corporate exchange w/o a BES or GoodLink server. This is most wonderful for my calendar!! POP3 and IMAP4 accounts are supported and I am running those for my personal accounts.<br><br>Browsing speeds are good when I'm downtown (Houston), but coverage for 3G is a bit spotty where I live (Spring - way north Houston) even though Sprint marks the whole area "Green."<br><br>Overall, I'm happy with the device. I like its size and the corp. exchange wireless sync (plus activesync integration with Vista) keeps me sold on the Q. MMS lacking SUCKS big time - and, I was quite surprised that it's not there. Like I said - ANY phone hitting the shelves should have MMS support. It would be akin to Dell selling a new computer that can't support a network card... Just plain stupid :)<br><br>- cory]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 5th 2007 8:38AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
