Motorola Q is a computing and communication device packed with business features, Motorola Q is a high-end mobile phone, and its available in cheap price as compare to its competitors.

In terms of design, outside of its size, the Q is nothing remarkable. Motorola has followed the generally accepted design for a QWERTY embedded smartphone. This is a new look for Motorola, few, if any design elements from prior smartphone efforts from this company are included in the Q.  The materials all seem secure and strong. While it’s definitely not rugged, it’s put together much better than some other devices in this space.

The Q leverages an Intel PXA27x 312 MHz processor and 128 MB flash RAM. While not blazingly fast when compared to traditional PDAs, it’s very good for a smartphone. Programs launched quickly, and Handmark’s Pocket Express, my personal benchmark, loaded much more quickly.

The Motorola Q uses the smartphone version of Windows Mobile 5.0.
The operating system is limiting when compared to the full version. The core differences include interface changes, lack of ability to edit Office files and little things like an inability to synchronize notes from Outlook.

The Q uses a 2.4″, 320×240 pixel display. The display is bright and clear, very easy to read. Motorola has chosen short defaults in terms of the number of seconds the screen and backlight stay on after the last input.

Additional memory for programs and data storage can be added via miniSD, something that is quickly replacing the venerable standard SD in tiny devices such as this.

MiniSD is probably the perfect fit for the Q, a good mix of physical size and storage capacity.

MiniSD hasn’t been leveraged much yet for peripherals but the slot being on the side is a potential problem depending on the size of what you stick in there later. A GPS receiver for instance, would be problematic because of the large protrusion form the side and the associated weight imbalance.

The charging port is also listed as a place to connect phone accessories. However, beyond charging and sync products I don’t see anything.

The Q also offers integrated Bluetooth and can be paired with other Bluetooth products for expansion. The Q supports the hands free, personal network, stereo headset, and keyboard input profiles. The latter lets you connect to a Bluetooth-enabled PC to use the Q as a remote control.

The Q comes with a charging cord and a separate sync cable.

Motorola Q comes with communications modem dual band, 800 and 1900 CDMA. Internet speeds and email download rates are speedy; similar to EV-DO enabled devices.

The voice quality on the Q is very good, as you might expect from a company with Motorola’s pedigree. Even the Bluetooth radio seems very strong.

The Q features a 1.3 megapixel camera that’s capable of shootings stills and small frame video. The camera have nothing special in it, its just a normal result 1.3MP camera  Motorola never are in devices like this.

Here’s the ugly part. Battery life of the Q just plain stinks. Motorola quotes 4 hours talk time, but that’s full of caveats. In the real world, with moderate phone use and 10 minute pulls from our Exchange server, the battery won’t make it through the work day. Heavy phone users are going to be flustered pretty quickly.

Motorola has an extended battery option, but this of course ruins the lines of the device.
