The Motorola Q - So Far, So Good |

My smartphone saga entered another new chapter yesterday, as I personally migrated from a Samsung SCH-i760 to the original Motorola Q. While I liked many of the features of the Samsung, I have been using it for several months now and have missed two important voice mail messages, which is simply unacceptable. Although both are Windows Mobile devices, at least with the Q I don't have to go looking for voice mail. I first got my hands on the Q in June of 2006, within days of it's release through Verizon Wireless. I had been testing various Windows mobile devices and had already submitted an order for three Treo 700w units, which were shortly thereafter sent back and replaced with new Q's. Now normally I give new products some time to grow and work through their initial bugs before I make a jump, but in this case I for some reason jumped on the bandwagon early; and subsequently, I suffered through the initial firmware issues. |

Apple appears to have hit a home run with the new iPod touch, at least in theory. Basically they’ve taken all the cool from the iPhone, and removed the requirement for related a monthly cell phone bill. How cool is that? Well I’ll tell ‘ya, it’s way cool…if you didn’t already buy the iPhone and get locked into a cellular contract.
  
Many who’ve already purchased the iPhone are a bit peeved, as not only are they locked into a cell contract with a carrier they may not have otherwise done business with, but they did so at $200 more than the iPhone’s new price! At least Apple is offering them some consolation by sending $100 rebate checks out, but still…ouch.

I picked up the new “LG Chocolate in Black” about a week ago after a few weeks of debating over it or the iPhone. I know, I know…it’s like comparing apples to oranges; but I wasn’t comparing them per say, I was debating on whether to make the leap to the iPhone. Well, long story short, I just felt the iPhone wasn’t worth the risk and the price, at least yet; I suspect it will be within a year or so though. So far, the $49 I spent on the new Chocolate (retails for $79 w/a 2-yr. contract) seems to be money well spent.
Basically, LG redesigned the touch pad and navigation wheel on this latest version of the Chocolate, and made it smaller and lighter. Everything else is pretty much the same. It sports a 1.3MP camera that takes decent pix and short vids, but it lacks a flash. It has a microSD memory card slot and should you decide to buy one of these phones, I’d recommend using it. |
