Blackberrys/Motorola Q

[The Korean]

Hello folks. I am really wanting to get a Motorola Q or Blackberry soon. My company is contracted to Verizon, so I am limited to those. I have a Dell Axim v50 PDA, that is pure bada$$, but I don't want to carry it around with a cellphone, and have to find hot spots everywhere I go. Does anyone here have one of these and if you do, any comments.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

My brother-in-law has the Q. Likes it pretty well. I have used it a few times and liked it.
Not seen the blackberry your looking at, but the Q will most likely be thinner and easier to carry.

Blackberry 8703e is the one I am mainly comparing to the Q. I am leaning more towards the Q, all of the people who have made a comment about it have said something good. I asked some others with Blackberrys and the say it great, but has a few features that could be better.

I'm sure both are great phones. I'd just go with the one I liked the most. Can't see you going wrong with either.

I have and have used the Q for about 6 months now. It's a nice phone, great reception, I think the processor could be a bit faster but pretty uer friendly. The only downside I have with it is the fact that there is no stylus. So you have to get used to that.

The blackberry...well...that is another world. It uses it's own software has that "always" on connection to constantly check emails, messages and is the most secure smartphone out there.

I would say it depends if you are going with the full unlimited data plans or if you are going with a minimal use data plan.

I would play with both at a verizon store as much as possible. Interface I think is the deciding factor. Also the blackberries seem to be real picky about connecting to a PC sometimes. Moto Q's go through activesync just like the v50

they're comparable machines - you just need to play with them (in the store) for personal taste.

i had a treo, went to a blackberry for work, and am back on the treo. i like them both for completely different reasons, both work well. getting my renewal and i'm also looking at the Q. big difference is in size, although one thing about bbs that I don't like is that when you're browsing a website, the pages come out funky. the Q (and the treos) display the pages very organized.

there's a new bb out to compete with the q. check that out as well.
