David Pogue on Moto Q, the “Double-edged Sword”
David Pogue writes in The New York Times about the Motorola Q. In one sentence, he loves the Moto Q hardware, but not the Windows Mobile for Smartphones software.
If you only read one Moto Q review, read what David has to say.
He concludes by saying:

Over all, though, there’s a considerable gulf between the superiority of the Q’s hardware and the limitations of its software. Are you willing to jump through so many button-pressing hoops, and pay such high Internet fees, to get the Q’s $200 price and gorgeous looks? Depends on how much you like double-edged swords, roller coaster rides and clouds with silver linings.

Pogue did bring up some excellent points. He’s the only one besides RonJ to comment on the sharp edge feels like a bathroom tile problem. And, his observations on the limitations of Windows Smartphone 2005 are spot on. The more I use my device with the same OS (T-Mobile SDA) the more I see its compromises in delivering a rich *phone* experience at the cost of a mediocre *PDA* experience. Oh well, still no perfect device here…move along.
