1 vote here for the moto Q. its a great phone and has stood up to
hard use for almost 2 years now. the screen resolution is great,
windows mobile 5.0 smartphone edition has lots of free software
available. you wont find that with a blackberry. i have the extended
battery and it lasts as long as other smartphones. my prior phone
was an audiovox smt 5600 and I had to replace it numerous times. EV-DO
is worth the price.
