Motorola Q Smartphone —
I've had my Q for a few months now, and I've become very dependent on it. I use it more for checking e-mail (through Gmail's mobile application, not Outlook) and Facebook than for actually making calls. I keep the Task Manager front and center on the home screen, as the Q is a total memory hog that doesn't close programs when you exit them.Huzzahs: 3G data, 3G data, 3G data. The keyboard is decent, but not as good as a BlackBerry (which has larger, concave buttons). The tic-tac buttons on the Q work, but you have to press them hard. I could type out messages faster on my BlackBerry, even though those don't have a dedicated period button. Voice quality is OK.
Gripes: the phone often has a lag between when I press a button and when it registers the keystroke, sometimes missing them entirely. There are also way too many times where it won't connect to Sprint's network. It can be fixed easily by turning off the wireless radio and turning it back on, but I have to do this frequently, and it's rather annoying. Volume control in speakerphone mode doesn't work for me; it thinks it's on some sort of external earpiece.
Bottom line: if I could find a BlackBerry with 3G data, I'd get that instead. Even over a 3G iPhone (since I type with my fingernails, and not the pads of my fingers).
