Re: Opinion is Needed
I have been there and made that choice. I had the Tytn (8525) and it is powerful includes WIFI etc.
I switched in a heartbeat to the TREO 750. The form factor can not be beat. Ever try to dial a number one handed from the portrait screen on the 8525 (it either fingers or stylus.
Also I could not handle opening and closing the slide out keyboard. I need my keys man.
They modifications to the Treo make it so I ...
Re: Dropped Calls
Try the following
01. Right Ket [Menu] -> Preferences -> Phone Settings
02. Services -> Band Selection
03. Change network type from Auto to GSM.
See if this stops the dropped calls.
I am happy to give up the UMTS until there is a firmware update with the HSPDA enables officially. This device is that good. I use it on GSM for now and have no problems. If I need to do heavy browsing I reenable the auto band selection. Then go back to ...
Re: Call Quality and Signal
It is great, best in a long time.
Dropped Calls
I have also noticed the dropped calls. It only happens when UMTS is engaged. I have set the band to GSM instead of auto. I have not had one call drop while on GSM. I hope that the update for HSPDA will correct this.
You should test furthur selecting between the GSM and UMTS band.
As the Treo 750 is one of the best devices I have ever used.
Nice review

Re: Did i give up on the Q too early?
You know I was very happy with the Q. I also did lots of research on the q prior to purchasing and I had a clear understanding that it was not a ppc and did not have touch screen, etc.
When compared to smart phones the Q rocks. After 2 software updates the Q really rocks. With the last software update the battery life have improved a lot. Also there are old and new hardware versions. I pay close attention ...
3rd Party Handango
I have the Q and I have about 8 core progras fro www. Handango .com.
This is one of the best strengths of the Q and WM5 smarthphones. 3rd Party software.
Papyrus, Fizz Weather, Smarthphone Notes, Photo Contacts, Power tasks, etc.
Also visit qusers . com.
hope that help.
The Q is a right Fit
The Q will do this and mmuch more. I reccomend you visit www. handango . com.
And purchase one 3rd party software for the milage & expenses.
The Q rocks.
Make sure you have newest software update this fills in soe of the missing gaps in sillyness.
great device, i left the blackberry 7250 which is a very stable and reliable device.

The Q Truth
I have been using the Q since release day. I have waited for over a year prior to release. I used a 7250 Blackberry for about a year. I was fairly obsessed with my blackberry.
I am pleased with the Q. Even more so with the update. i am running the updated version and I have push email. When it arrives on the server I get it on the Q.
The really strong features of the Q and windows mobile 5 ...
Re: Moto Q vs. Blackberry 7250
Please see my review upon switching from the Verizon 7250BB to the Motorola Q.
https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_for um.php?fm=m&ff=856&fi=652554
To add to this, I only see the quality and selection of the Windows Mobile software increasing.
I am waiting for the Moto/Verizon update that enables the true push and maybe some minor bug fixes as well.
I purchased the Desk Docking station from Moto at 20% discount and two extended batterys on special at verizon for 19.99 each.
Hope that helps

64K Sim and Legecy Network
Does anyone know if this phone will support the Cingular 64K Sim Card with its advanced feature to pickup the Legacy (AT&T) network? The three towers in our area are still Legecy (AT&T) and have not been converted.

Re: Searching for specific text???
I use a 3rd party software SmartPhone Find, works very good. Made by Syncdata, the same people that make SmartPhone Notes which is great.
This allows you to search all info (contacts, calendar, etc) or one type like contacts only.

Re: Global Contact Access from Q
the settings are not exactly the same. had to mess with it and call the company the provides my hosted exchange server. since I am not in a company the multiple people on an exchange server I can not take advantage of the contact lookup.
The main benefit is I can schedule an appoinment and invite anyone in my device address book.

Re: Global Contact Access from Q
After seeing your post I downloaded this and installed. I had to play with the setting a bit as I pay for a hosted exchange server, but it works.
Well it work from the standpoint I can now schedule a meeting with an invite and email the invite(s) which is great. The meeting allows the use of device contacts which is great.
As I pay for the hosted exchange server the GAL Contact lookup does not do me any good or ...
Re: Not sure if this will work...help...software Question
Nop and yes. The Q comes with a viewer only. When you open the excel file it is like looking at a graphic or pdf. you can zoom in or out, move left or right.
Now there is a 3rd party software on Handango that may do what you want.
I hope this helps.

Re: Hey Gray one more thing.
facade only gives you home screen functionality. papyrus give you appointment and task functions far above the default and closer to what you would get from desktop outlook.
custom reminders
custom reoccurances
priority
papyrus allows you to view appointments and tasks together which is great.
and more

Re: Hey Graylion
I do it allows me to set the launch buttons at the top of the home screen permanent instead f last used.
it also allows to change the order of home screen plugins and to turn off one i did not want.
it also allows me to place a selection of appointmnets and tasks on the home screen.
great program
i also use power tasks which may seem like over kill however it allows me to bump task either to the current day ...
Re: Hey Graylion
I am very happy with papyrus and power tasks. i have spent a lot of time reviewing various programs and have stopped with these. i have yet to find one that allows meeing invites or assigning tasks to others. but i remain hopeful

Re: Hey Graylion
downlod to pc run setup with the q connected and active sync with install on q.

Re: Hey Graylion
I download to the PC the run setup it goes through active sync and places it on the Q. I think you can do it on the Q but I feel more confortable with the pc to q approach.
They are great programs.

Re: I was hoping for a setting on the phone.
with the phone as is you will not achieve that result or many other cool results. if not for the 3rd party apps i would have stayed with my blackberry 7250.

Re: Upcoming appointments
I suggest you use Papyrus and Facade. Papyrus give your great functionality for appointments and tasks, like outlook. Custom reminders, etc
Facade allows you to identify the content of your home screen like a set custom bar at the top instead of recently used. Schedule and task can appear on your screen for a set number of days out.
These two products rock
I also use power tasks.

Re: Does Activesync only work with Outlook or will it work with Outlook Express?
Does your palm sync with outlook if so it syncs with the Q. If you are using outlook express export your contacts to a csv and import into outlook. Now outlook sync to the q.
The is also software, may handango that allows express to sync. I am sure I have seen it.

Re: Whats the concensus?
No they do not. I have tried both and I prefer SmartPhone notes, less complicated.
I have heard that by using goodlink you can sync notes but I am not ready to try this yet.

Facade & Start Menu
I have installed Facade which is a great pragram along with Papyrus. I have changed my home screen configuration. Now my start menu does not bring anything up.
When I touch the soft key for start menu the following happens:
- The word start appears across the top title as it used to.
- More appears above the left soft key as normal
- Menu appears above the right soft key as normal.
The start menu icons do not appear in the center screen ...
* Motorola Q2 - What would you do?
Not if there will be a Q2 but when, hmm....
What would you change. I personally think that with some straight forward basic tweaks. The Q or Q2 if you will, could be one of the best devices on the market!
Blackberry Streamlining
- Double spaces equal period.
- Autotext
- Distribution groups or lists
- Text selection
- A little work on the keyboard layout
- Hard delete key
Anyway that my quick two cents, lets run with it.

Re: What are must have program additions?
Also Agile Messenger is great there is a free download. Just make sure Pock Internet Explorer is running first or this program will not know it is connected to the internet.

Re: Issues with Calendar
Check out my recent post about software.
https://www.phonescoop.com/phone s/p_forum.php?fm=m&ff=856&fi=658076
The programs Power Tasks, oxios todo list and Papyrus increase functionality.
Papyrus increases the outlook functions like the repeat list twice as many options as well as custom reminders and cutom re-occurances. Also invites attendees (have not tried yet).
Check it out
Re: What are must have program additions?
Here are the software choices/trials I am currently considering:
PDANET
- usb/bluetooth connect your notebook
- works great
Smartphone Notes
- note function works with active sync
- Easy to use and context functions for calling and emailing
- Need one that will sync wirelessly
- Need one that filter the note list whe you type
Powertasks
- unlocks many of the outlook features
- Very nice program
- I have selected this in place of oxios todo list (the insert contact functions much better)
Power Calendar
- will be ready ...
Re: Issues with Calendar
I am currently trying out trial copies of papyrus and Oxiois ToDo List. There are features of both that I like. They both address the limitations of the calendar and tasks.
I recommend trying them both and see for yourself. They are both faily priced.

Re: Virtually unlimited address book??? I can not figure this one out.
I have 1400 contacts in my address book that sync between my exchange (2 desktops, 2 notebooks ), 1 blackberry and 1 Q.
The Q accepted these without problem. In addition I do not think that addresses take up more memory than say attachments, multimedia.
This is not based on specs, just my use and observation.

Re: Contact Messaging, Did you know?
It works in the bcc, cc and to. I have not yet tried for multiple yet as I am still distraught over the lack of distribution lists in mobile outlook.
But it works every time for me.

Contact Messaging, Did you know?
Interesting Observation
I have 1400 contacts I when composing a new email message it goes like this:
01. type 3-4 letter of the first or last name as I know it in my contact list.
02. Type subject
03. Type the body.
04. Click send
It now prompts me with a match selection of names for the 3-4 letters I typed. After selecting the correct contact it sends.
This is better than I first thought, however not yet blackberry easy.

WOW Great Review
Wow what a great review and I concur with 98% of what was said.
The only thing that seems to miss slightly is the following:
"Typing a name into the address field does not accomplish anything, it is not matched with the contact list."
I have 1400 contacts and when I type a name about 3-4 letters, type the message and hit send, it prompts me with a list of match selections. This is better than nothing, but far from blackberry ...
