So here are the major drawbacks about the Motorola Q on Verizon:
- battery life just simply sucks. Not kidding, 12 hours on the standard battery you consider yourself lucky. I thought the notion of a cell phone was to be able to cut the cord, not be in the charger the whole time. I find myself sweating for any opportunity to charge it.
- the UI freezes completely when it checks for mail. Checking three acounts results in wait times of up to 90 seconds before you can actually see reaction to key input - hope I won't have to dial 911 in an emergency when it checks for email!
- CDMA. Need I say more. It won't roam anywhere but continental USA.
- no ssh application
- no RDP client
- it crashes. What the heck?! Why does a phone crash? It's a tested GSM stack, isn't it? I never had a phone before that simply freezes. Aweful!
It took me only 15 minutes to go into the T-Mobile store to get a 30 bucks a month, unlimited Blackberry plan for my 7290 I brought from England. Now I am back to BB it just works. The damn thing just keeps on ticking. Four days no charge, no problem. Now we are talking. I am one with the world again.
