Motorola Moto Q Review

1.

The Moto Q has a full QWERTY keyboard, but unlike similarly equipped devices, the Q is superthin at 11.5mm. A full-fledged enterprise device, the Moto Q will run Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0, so staying in touch with the office will be a breeze. Additionally, business users will be able to take advantage of the Moto Q's myriad voice features. On the lighter side, its 1.3-megapixel camera, its support for a ton of audio (iMelody, MIDI, MP3, AAC, WAV, WMA, WAX, and QCELP) and video (MPEG-4, AAC, and WMV) formats, and its relatively large screen show the makings of an excellent multimedia device. Downside: The Moto Q is promising, but Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system is unproven, and it remains to be seen how its compatibility with Exchange 2003's ability to push Outlook data will fare. Additionally, the Moto Q has a Mini SD slot as opposed to a standard Secure Digital (SD) slot. At the time of this writing, the largest-capacity Mini SD cards are 512MB, while SD cards have reached 2GB. This is a significant factor for a device that sports so many multimedia features. Outlook: Of all the would-be competitors to the Palm Treo 650 we've seen, the Moto Q seems best poised to surpass it. Its sexy form factor is enough to garner a ton of attention. Furthermore, if Windows Mobile 5.0 lives up to Microsoft's promises, connecting to an enterprise server from a smart phone will be easier than ever. Also, Motorola has yet to announce whether the Moto Q will support CDMA or GSM. Of course, this will greatly affect the device's popularity. Be sure to come back to CNET as more information on this device is released.
