Motorola Q

Cell Phone Type : Smartphone
Carrier : Verizon Wireless
Cell Network Technology : CDMA
Wireless Technology : Bluetooth, Infrared
Weight : 4.1 oz

Update: the Motorola Q is now available on both Verizon and Sprint in the US.
Size and weight are both good; it’s quite wide at 4.6 x 2.5 x 0.45 inches but you can also see it’s thin. It weighs in at 4.1ounces and importantly it fits in the pocket easily and comfortably. If it weren’t for my clumsy habit of bending forward to pick things up and watching my phone shoot towards the ground I’d carry it in my shirt pocket all the time.

There’s no Wi-Fi so SKYPE calls over Wi-Fi are out but at 700Kbps EVDO should handle that; it’ll be interesting to see if a SKYPE for Smartphone is created to match the already available SKYPE for Pocket PC.

Mini SD is the expansion option of choice 1Gb is (reasonably) cheap and useful. What’s less than useful is the daft cover over the slot. It takes nerves of steel to muster up the force to peel open the cover over the miniSD slot; knowing that any slip could see your new toy flying through the air in an un-powered screen scratching decent to destruction.

The Q ships with a 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash. I thought we might get a 2 MP unit but I think that Motorola opted for quality over quantity. The picture color balance is really quite good – better than my QTEK S200 with its 2MP unit! And it's head and shoulders above the scary MPx220's camera.

Bluetooth is at version 1.2 not 2.0. I think this is another example of getting the product right rather than having the latest and greatest.

The book says 234 minutes talk and 212 hours standby. I haven’t had it that long to judge the 212 hours and I think the 4 hours talk time is a stretch; it seemed to be calling for the charger long before that.

Apple iPhone (8GB)

Million owners of iPhone who finish falling the payment of one week in a unit that still lacks these capacities are not complaining almost. So that? Because the truth is that they just do not need an improvement - already to have one of groundbreaking yet, diversion to use (and practically psychic) the adminículos in the history of the technology. This iPhone of the first generation ($499 USD for the version 4GB, $599 USD for the far more popular model 8GB), available of AT&T, has exclusively defects? Absolutely: If no, it must not have reason of a following - model of the generation or the periodic improvements of software and the softwares unalterable that they are safe to come. But really - who gives a failure of the flight? These defects are choked by a dual impact of the ready innovation in terms of using interface snazzy of the device and shining-made integration of the design, the physical OS and software - behind and in front of its crystal surface that flashes.

Because one is enu ven to be envisaged of Apple, the iPhone out of metal comprises a design of minimalist. To 4.5 X 2.4 X 0.46 inch, it feel smooth and fresh with the contact, and 4.8 ounces, if smells itself heavy rather than heavy. There are some not labelled minimalist and buttons --an on/off switch of ringing and a voice rock on the left side and, to the top of top, the card tray of SIM and the jack of ear-phone of 3.5mm. On the bottom is the pin connector

But naturally, the iPhone is more than a iPod of imagination. On the bottom of the screen at the house are the icons for four principal functions of the iPhone: telephone, mail, web browser of safari and iPod. Above the latter iPhone, 12 additional handy functions are the widgets: Text messaging of SMS, calendar, photographs, camera, YouTube, stocks, charts of Google, time, clock, computer, notes and arrangements. Of the latter, nothing is as attaching as without end causing a dependence and travel-time filling widget of YouTube. Almost as additive is the charts of Google. You can bourdonner inside of the satellite sight anywhere in the world, click then on the “chart” to see a chart of road of the sector which you bourdonné inside above.

No other smartphone with as much integrated memory than 8 gigaoctets of the iPhone, but this could prove to be a disadvantage. For a thing, there is no external slit of chart of memory to increase your memory capacity. Thus between your music, photographs, video and PodCasts it is iPod-easy to charge that, you will fill that 8 gigaoctets (really around 7.2 gigaoctets since OS X of imper takes a piece of space) on your first synchro. We wish that there be of A Scramble-like the option of autofill for those of us with more than one couple of thousand ways of AAC in our collection.

Camera shortage affecting new mobiles



















Motorola is facing supply problems for camera components that are hurting its unit volumes, executives at the company said this week.
According to Tom Lynch, president of Motorola's Personal Communications Sector (PCS), the company's new integrated-camera handsets are seeing strong demand, but deliveries are slowing on the restricted supply of the integrated-
camera components.

The Motorola V300 and V500 began shipping earlier in the quarter and are available today, and the V600 will ship imminently," Lynch said. "Unit volumes, however, are lower than our customers are asking for due to supply constraints for the integrated-camera components."

Meanwhile, Motorola still expects 18 new phones to ship this quarter, seven featuring colour displays and eight featuring colour displays and integrated cameras.

"The supply constraint for integrated-camera components is an industry-wide problem," said Bob Perez, v-p and general manager of supply chain operations for Motorola PCS. "Motorola is feeling a larger impact because of the extremely limited supply of the smaller camera technology that we use for our handsets."

Motorola said demand trends are very strong for Motorola handsets in North America, Europe and Asia.
