Motorola Q
Moto Q or Treo 700W
It's time for my VZW "new every 2". I want a smartphone. Which should I get - the Q or the Treo 700W?
...
I was contemplating the same however, now that I have the Q device and miss things like copy and paste, touchscreen and pda pointer access and other things, I'm thinking of pushing it as close to 10 to 13 days then swap if still not totally happy. I'm trying really hard to adjust. The Q is just so sexy versus the nerdy looking Treo 700p. 😳
...
I have the 700W now, and though the Q is better looking, smaller etc I don't know that I would give up my 700W for it. My significant other is close to NE2 and we might get the Q then to check it out. I just don't know about not having the touchscreen, SD cards, battery life etc. I already have a few 1GB cards, so switching to miniSD is a new additional cost for the Q (for us) and based on specs battery life on the Q is worse than the 700W and battery life on the 700W, under heavy use, is already pretty low (with BT enabled 24x7 and using about an 1-2 hours of data each day).
I also wonder about the Q's reception. It took palm like 5 versions of the Treo (or more) to get it right as a "cell phone first" (700W is the first I've used that ...

I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my Q, mostly because the 700W is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. I'm on my second 700W, as the first one completely froze. The replacement they sent worked for a short while and now has to be soft rebooted at least once a day. It is definitely a PDA first and a phone second. Even if you decide against the Q, stay far away from the 700W!!

Thats funny, if your worried about phone first the Q doesn't fall close to the 700w. I have both devices and will tell you why i believe this.
700w: the everything machine (first phone that lives up to it's name)
Moto Q: thin/sexy (lives up to its name as well)
700w: dial from the main screen (either by name or number)
Moto Q: go to dial screen (extra step)
700w: send txt or e-mail to contact from main screen.
Moto Q: open messaging, start a new message, go to add recipeients, find your contact, then compose the message.
700w: speed
Moto Q:..................is it there yet?...........
700w: cuts off sides of movies in WMP
Moto Q: movies look very sharp.
700w: qwerty keyboard hard to type on
Moto Q: keys b...

see my reply to this idiot as well...
The 700W ain't perfect and 32 years old today (literally, it's my B-day) I have yet to find anything that's perfect, be it a car, phone, stereo - doesn't matter, everything has it's flaws and as far as I'm concerned the complaints about having to reset the 700W are coming entirely from complete morons. It takes 10 seconds to reset the phone, if you do it before putting it on the charger every night then you will NEVER be affected by that flaw, you will be being pro-active about it and keeping it from ever being a problem. But you have these nitwits that can't think past the need to do it to find the resolution to it that takes 10 seconds out of there day for what is otherwise possibly the most solid, ...

Sorry, but you're an idiot. First off, yes the 700W does have a flaw in WM5 in that programs do not close when you click the x, and even after going into memory settings and closing all running programs there seems to be some memory leaks. I have seen this complaint about the 700W for a long time now and expeirenced it myself and even though I recognize the FACT that this flaw does exist, you know what I also recoginze? It takes me 10 SECONDS every night when I place it on the charger before I go to sleep to ensure this flaw never causes me a problem. It takes me 10 seconds to take the back off, hit the reset button and put the back back on then connect it to the charger. POOF! PROBLEM SOLVED. Considering all the other benefits this phone pr...

What an a***hole you are!! This is a forum for constructive feedback based on personal experiences. If so, I really doubt that Palm designed the phone to lag, lockup and be soft rebooted at least once a day. They certainly did not design the Treo 650 to operate like this, so I assume they built it into the 700W so idiots like you can rave about how small an inconvenience it is to go thru a reboot process constantly. I choose to resolve it by replacing the 700W with something that actually functions as it was designed to.
Maybe you can use the hour you save every year by not having to go thru your ritual to get laid....you sound very hostile and angry. 😁

I may be an a**hole but you're still not that bright. Compared to all other smartphones out there the Treo 700W is by far the most functional and if that one glitch is too much for you then so be it. My point is that there is no perfect device, every device has it's glitches and if this is the only significant one on the 700W it's then well worth it because it is so easily resolveable. Again, tell me of another smartphone with the same functionality (functionality that also works well as it does on the 700W) that doesn't have that glitch. There isn't one.
And by the way I doubt it's a problem with the hardware of the 700W, it's rather the software Windows Mobile 5 so that finger pointing at Palm needs to be redirected at Microsoft bubs.

If The Treo 700W is a great as you say it is, then why doesn't it have Wi Fi?
You seem to say alot about what this does have, but what about things it doesn't?

Sorry, but I think you are the moron.
Doing a hard reboot from under the battery is absolutely, unquestionably annoying and ridiculous.
If you don't believe me, just poll a group of people and ask them if they agree with you. Hmmm, the humiliation would be unbearable.

Your obviously not an advanced PDA user. for one it's not a hard reboot (check your lingo) it's called a soft reset.
Ask any advanced PDA user, they would sacrifice 20 seconds out of their day to reset their phone to get the PRODUCTIVITY THEY NEED.
I can be the first advanced user you ask, I WOULD DEFINATLY take 20 seconds a day (I'd even do it 10 times) to save me 20 min from driving to the office to home to send an e-mail.
+ it's my iPod, and portable DVD player.

I think what you meant to say is that I'm obviously not an advanced techno-geek, like you.
Dude, wake up and smell the coffee, you're debating me on semantics. Irrelevant.
We'll get you and the other 700W techno-geek a couple of propeller-head beanies, while you try to rationalize why your purchase of buggy PDAs was the the superior choice 🤣

I do it every day...it takes less than 10 seconds and the phone works perfectly. Of course this would be "annoying and ridiculous" even to me if I were doing it in light of the existence of another phone with the same functionality of the 700W that didn't require that; but that phone doesn't exist.
