Thread: Moto Q Mobile Phone

It's the Q, the Motorola Q The RAZR-thin Motorola Q, the coolest smartphone in India will be in your hands by the time you read this. It's a terrific '(pice phone, a dandy music player, and a swell e-mail machine. The Qis an unusually wide (2.5 inches), very flat (0.5 inches thick) 4-ounce slab with a bright 320-by-240 screen and a raised, angled QWERTY keyboard. There's a scroll wheel and button on the side, just like those on BlackBerry devices, and a five-way cursor pad above the keyboard, like the ones on Palm Treo handhelds.

You can use both sets of keys for navigation, making the Q unusually convenient to use with one hand. The Q's 1.3-megapixel camera takes decent photos. There was a bit of purple fringing in bright shots but nothing too awful. The Qis also a great music player, thanks to its support for Bluetooth stereo. As a Windows Mobile Smartphone, the Qplays MP3, WMA, and protected WMA files downloaded from Microsoft compatible music stores such as Yahoo! Music and Rhapsody. Video is another story.
