Motorola Q Smartphone —
I upgraded from Motorola's RAZR to the Q a couple months ago. (My husband inherited the RAZR!) I really needed a convenient and portable calendar, and this one is very intuitive to use. The keyboard is also very easy to use. Windows Media Player is just an added bonus, but one I really like. I have wanted an mp3 player almost as long as I've wanted a PDA, so this phone is perfect for me. I'm already used to using Media Player, so I didn't have to learn another system. I bought a 2GB card, and that holds quite a bit of music as .wma files. I know I don't use all of the features of my phone, but I'm thrilled with the features I do use. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the phone part of it isn't as intuitive as I'd like. I've always had Motorola phones, and I still can't figure out how to make the speed dial feature work, or if I did then it's not that great. Also, my previous phones have had a way to switch the volume of the ring tone from loud all the way down to vibrate. I can't figure out how to do that with this phone unless I want to go through the whole menu and change the settings.
