Motorola Q User Reviews

Here’s what the users have been writing in their reviews about the Moto Q. As always, we will combine what the users are saying so that you don’t have to read a million reviews.

The average user gives the Q about a 7 out of 10. What’s interesting about that is that fact that most tech reviewers give the model between an 8 and a 9 out of 10.

The Good
Sleek Design - The Q was most definitely revolutionary in its design. Some newer models are actually smaller than the Q, but at the time of release, it was a first of its kind. The size is significantly smaller than its competitors.

Removable Memory
Most users talk about the removable memory of the Q. What’s funny about this is that it’s become an industry standard for PDA models.

EV-DO
Ev-Do makes the phone operate on the internet much more quickly than models that don’t have it. If you read the user reviews, you can see that this was a huge selling point for them, and a reason to be satisfied with the model.

Bluetooth Capabilities
The Q is capable of operating as a wireless modem through Bluetooth, and also has all of the regular applications of Bluetooth technology.

Keyboard’s Ease Of Use
Quite a few users said that the keyboard on the Q is easier to use than the keyboards on the Treo and Blackberry.

Battery Life
Most users were quite pleased with the battery life of the Q, saying that the life would last 3 days or so with regular use.

The Bad (Problems With The Moto Q)

Difficulty With Email
This was the most common theme amongst the complaints about the Q. Users reported that it was really tough to get the model to work with pop email. One user said that she spent 8 hours on the phone with Verizon and Motorola, and it still didn’t work properly.

No Touch Screen
Many users of the Q used Treos previously, and most of them complained that it was pretty hard to surf without it. The Q uses a scroll wheel, and users complained that this made browsing a lot more difficult.

Buggy Operating System
Users complained a lot about this, but the truth is that this had nothing to do with the Q, and everything to do with Windows that is was running. In the later versions, the operating systems have been a lot more functional, and a lot less buggy.
