So now that the Motorola Q is finally making its way into the sweaty, outstretched palms of mobile professionals and Windows Mobile fanboys everywhere -- including our own -- we figured it was about time for a proper roundup of reviews and news. Reaction is generally positive, with everyone naturally loving the thickness of the device and A2DP support. Some folks are reporting that the Q gets a bit pokey at times, but it's nothing our Wizard-toting friends aren't already used to.

Can't wait to see how many people get one of these awesome phones.
any word on when this will hit the other carriers?
Can't wait until Windows Mobile goes away...
Does anyone know if this phone will offer the same EVDO Modem features ad the Blackberry 7130e? It would be nice to be able to use this phone as a modem for my laptop.
You won't be able to tether the Q and use as a modem, well until a hack comes out. Hurry up hackers, I'm waiting.
Yesterday I posted a comment re: crappy Verizon service for my Q that bit the dust in San Francisco on the Destination Q post. The tale of Q woe continues...
After spending an hour on the phone with a VZW agent trying to figure out why the new device that was swapped out won't ring with my number, he determined that the in store agent had given me a Q that was already activated on someone else's account.
I don't know how a shiny, new, out of the box device could already be activated, just call me lucky. When asked if the Q seemed to be generating a lot of problems, the agent said that they seemed to be giving out quite a few activated Qs. I have to go back to the store to get another device because the ESN code from my Q in Atlanta is the same as the Q that was swapped out in SF. To be continued...
From what I have heard from insiders at Alltel, the Q will support tethered data access. and for only $25 per month. and $39.99 per month for Unlimited Handset data, Tethered Data, and Office Sync. YES! Cant wait to eBay my pocket pc! The Q cant come soon enough for me, I hope my anticipation for it doesn't leave me let down.
