Default Motorola Q or Treo 700wx what is better ? ?

I have the Treo700wx now, and sprint now has the motorola q and it looks so cool. I have a problem where i need the newest phone when it comes out. Do you think i should switch to the q or stay with the wx ? Help thanks ......

If your only consideration is to have "the coolest phone", whatever that means, then what is the point of posting here.

For my part, I considered the Q but in my business I have to be able to read and write Excel docs and the Q cant do that (the writing, that is), so functionality actually played a part in my decision.

They really are not in the same category. For business use, Roger's statement about the 700wx is correct. I consider it to be very important to be able to create and edit documents effortlessly. In addition, its battery life is better with the 700wx. I briefly looked and stuck with the 700w then got rid of the 700w. The Q is pretty, the Palm is functional.

A question - why do you need the newest phone when it comes out if it does not meet your needs?

I'll take your 700wx if you decide to swap out.

Dont get the Q!!! Im sorry but I just got this as a gift for my girlfriend because she has been wanting a PDA phone for a while now and thought I would surprise her with this because its the prettiest PDA phone out there in my opinion. She has had it for almost a month now and the problems with it are terrible! Since her getting the phone I have been very active in several Q forums only to see that these issues are way too common. Issues like battery life being very bad. And more recently, the phone keeps freezing and the only way to fix it is remove the battery for long periods of time.

I am going to take the phone back from her and see if I can fix it and if not send it back and get her a Treo I think because there are not many options for her since she has Sprint.

Just go through the forums about the Q and you will see all the issues users are having.

I am in charge of cell phones in my company and we have both Q and Treo users. Yes, it is true that your chance of getting a bad Q is much larger than Treo. However, if you get a good/functional unit then you have very little to worry about. Personally, I have a Q and have absolutely no problems with it. It really depends what your needs are and how much of a PDA you need.

1. Battery life - Treo
2. Bluetooth - Q
3. Price - Q
4. Document Management/editing - Treo
5. Design and size - Q
6. Running Accounting and Supply chain software - Treo

I am sure I am missing more, but it really depends what criterias are important to you. I love both phones, so you can't really go wrong with either one.
