Moto Q Smartphone



I finally got my hands on a new cellphone after signing a new 2 year agreement through Alltel. I got the new Motorola - Moto Q smartphone with Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, that I've been eyeing for a few months now. Its a pretty sweet phone / pda and gets great internet connection speeds. I had an opportunity to try out the new EV-DO broadband connection in Parkersburg, WVa. where the phone connects to high speed wi-fi hotspot access points. The EV-DO access points are only in select areas of the country, mostly in larger cities or high traffic areas like airports, malls, etc. Even when not in an EV-DO area, this phone still gets acceptable page loading speeds over the standard Alltel network.

The phone also has bluetooth, gps navigation, infra-red remote and beaming capabilties, and am able to program it for use as a television remote. I really don't know how they can pack all the options they do in such a small device.The Moto Q is about the size of a Texas Instuments scientific pocket calculator. It has stereo speakers, you can transfer files to it and store/ play files and MP-3's. It has a 1.3 Mp camera which can be used as a camcorder. It does e-mail, instant messaging, fully functional web browser, Microsoft Office, MP-3's, Mpeg-4 video player. Basically like a computer in your pocket.
