Motorola Q front and side viewThe Motorola Q is one of the most anticipated phones of the year. The sleek RAZR look combined with Windows Mobile makes it the ultimate business tool. Although the exclusivity for Verizon is good news for US Verizon customers, it is a big disappointment for GSM customers worldwide. Since the Motorola Q was revealed by Motorola, there has been talk about it everywhere by everyone. I have finally got my hands on the Verizon Motorola Q. To find out what all the fuss is about, READ ON!!

 The Motorola Q is a lot smaller than I expected.  In pictures it looks a lot bigger, but when you actually have the phone you can see how small it is compared to its competitors.  The world famous sleek RAZR look is what makes this phone so dreamy. The Q is magnificently designed because it is the first Windows Mobile phone to have a scroll wheel and a back button on the right hand side (Think Blackberry).

In my opinion this scroll wheel is meant for maneuvering the phone using only one hand, and this is the feature that most Windows Mobile phones are currently missing. The buttons that are located on the front of the phone have a RAZR look to it, and are designed very well. The QWERTY keyboard is also excellent for its size. Although the keyboard is small and the buttons are very tiny it is not hard to use, and you get used to it very quickly.
