While I believed for a brief moment that the Motorola Q Global was a worthy choice for a smartphone, I found out that was not the case. After a couple of hours of navigating the interface menus and applications I soon discovered just how much I am accustomed to the Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system. From the first moment I turned on the Motorola Q, I never really felt at ease with the overall layout and performance for the WM6 Standard OS. One particular occurrence that didn't go over too well with was the processing power of the Opera Mobile web browser. Unlike the Treo 750 or TyTN 2, the Q had trouble rendering the desktop view of the YouTube site and eventually shut itself down. Being that my usage of a smartphone mainly involves web surfing, it is imperative that the default browser exhibit the same functionality of a full featured computer. WM6 Standard couldn't do this for me in the use of the browser or the overall execution of the other applications. Going without a touchscreen with an operating system as complex as Windows is definitely a hardship, and I admit this is most likely due to my own familiarity with the touchscreen phones.
Nonetheless, the decision has been made to keep the Treo 750 and return the Q. While there is still the overall issue of certain qwerty buttons not functioning properly, I shall address this with a master reset and hope for the absolute best. Throughout my experience with smartphone devices it is apparent that I have found my groove in the
non-touchscreen world with Nokia S60 3rd edition and in the touchscreen world with Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
