Review: Motorola Q

unless you live in Europe or the Far East where cellphones are like candy in one of the $.25 dispensors, you'll always be a couple of years behind in phone quality. You can thank the FCC for that faux pas.

Darn right Karm! I have travelled to Asia extensively...Japan, China, Tawain and Korea. Even the '3rd world' Asian countries have better service than we do. I MEAN IT! They have broadband! You should see the powerful, broadband, fully loaded mini computers these people are using. They call them phones, I call them laptops that fit into the palm of your hand! This isn't new either. They have had this type of lifestyle for years now. YEARS! Meanwhile, I am still waiting a decent Smartphone!

No FCC over there to stop business innovation. Ride the underground subways and you will see people watching full fledged movies, sending e-mails and havin g conversation with no interruption of service or dropped calls.

ALL of the Asian executives I have to work with when I am there laugh in bewilderment when I tell them how pathetic the US cell phone system is. I directed them to websites to explain the FCC...they cannot begin to understand it. It makes no sense to them. All they keep asking me is, "When will your government stop this?" The US is clearly falling behind. We are not #1 any more.
