Motorola Moto Q_obsolete

With the recent commercials on tv and the release of the Q, i'll write one up.
The Motorola Q certainly knows how to make an impression, it is thin as heck, and very stylish. Ever since its introduction almost a year ago, this smart phone has generated a lot of buzz for its ultrathin form factor. Of course, Motorola generated a lot of the hype itself by touting the Q as the "thinnest QWERTY device in the world." And now after a number of delays, the Q finally is here, and thankfully, it delivers in performance and style. It offers good call quality, an outstanding multimedia experience, and the tools to keep business users productive on the go, such as Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition, EV-DO, and e-mail support. For the ultimate road warriors who need full functionality for editing documents from the road, however, they may want to opt for a Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone, such as the Palm Treo 700w. That said, however, it'll be hard to resist the Q's sexy packaging. Is this a good marketing strategy by Motorola? Definitely. For now, the Moto Q will be sold exclusively through Verizon Wireless for a fair price of $199.99, along with a two-year contract and a $100 instant rebate. Verizon's BroadbandAccess service plans start at $79.99 for 450 anytime minutes with unlimited data usage. Motorola said it would start GSM/UMTS trials by the end of the year.

Now, if you could always afford the top of the line phone, then go for it, but to be more practical, the average cell-phone user wouldn't need this phone, it is designed to appeal to the business-on-the-go individuals who can't live without their documents and spreadsheets. Although the Motorola V3 is getting a little common now, but it is still a better choice for the average cell-phone user, thin, stylish, great functions, and you get to keep a little green in your wallet.
