I finally won a little money at the casino and now have enough to purchase a Moto Q and a few accessories. I don't really know anyone with this phone so I am wondering how those who have it feel about it. Since I am not eligible for a new phone I will be paying the full retail price of $409. Is it worth this price? And if I were to buy some accessories to go with it, what would be good to start with? Also, will my Motorola HS850 be compatible with this phone? I guess I'm wanting someone to convince me that I really NEED this phone. Any input will be appreciated.
I really, really, really like the Motorola Q but I can't afford one. I have played around with two of my coworkers' Qs and I think they're great. If you're not using them for a business application then there is no real way you could possibly "need" a Q but it can do a ton of stuff. As far as accessories, I'd say the first thing you will want is the extended battery and extended battery door. The Q won't last an entire 8-10 hours without one and the extended battery will last about 2.5 days. Second would probably be a Bluetooth headset, but since I see you already have one, I would say a protective case would be next on the list. Good luck and remember that you'll have a trial period in which you can return the Q if you're not satisifed with it. Just remember that you'll need to have the intact box, manual, charger and anything else that came with it and it has to be undamaged.
I've had my Moto Q for almost a year and I love it. Before it I had a PPC, a Palm and another Smartphone. The Q is by far my favorite. The first accessories I suggest are extra chargers. I keep one on my night stand and one on my desk at work, connected to a cradle. Then there is a extra in the kitchen. My wife keeps one in the den and I we each have one in our car. Lucky for us, her Bluetooth headset uses the same charger, so that's one of our extras. I don't use the extended battery because the slimness of the phone is a major feature for me. I do have an extra standard battery. I use it for email, calendar, tasks and contacts. I keep notes on it, and essentially use it to manage my life. It's my alarm clock too.
