PC Synchronization

The Motorola Q has the ability to synchronize via USB or Bluetooth to a Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange Server database via Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows Vista or via Microsoft ActiveSync in Windows XP and below, allowing the user to synchronize contacts, emails, tasks, and calendar appointments to the Motorola Q. Microsoft Office files may also be synchronized, but Windows Mobile only supports reading them, not editing them.

Motorola Q support forums

The Motorola website includes a forum for user support. Topics include getting started, email setup, bluetooth technology, synching, multimedia features and third party applications.

Error Reporting

As with most smartphones, an automatic error reporting function can be enabled by the user. Several Q users had found a minor malfunction with the first version of the Q which was exclusively sold by Verizon. The malfunction showed that after some time while the phone had been in use, that if text messaging/phone calls or internet/text messaging happened together, the phone would freeze for several minutes. Motorola and Microsoft discovered the error through the error reporting service and now offer an update you can find through Motorola.com. The update repairs the malfunction and resets the phone.

Black Motorola Q

Verizon Wireless released a new version of the Q in mid January 2007 in a new color. They are now producing the Q in black to compete with the T-Mobile Dash and Cingular’s Samsung Blackjack. The outer casing is now made in a rubber compound to resist scratches. The new Q also features 15% more battery life and an update to fix bugs.

Limitations

Picture messaging with Verizon: Picture messaging is pay per use if user does not subscribe to a data package. When using the Moto Q with Verizon, picture messaging is no longer treated as data transfer. If the user uses the Moto Q with Verizon and disables data transfer, then the user no longer loses the functionality of sending and receiving picture messages.

The following is a quote attributed to Verizon technical support: (Source: discussion forum post)

“You are correct that you do not require a data package to synchronize the Motorola Q with your computer using ActiveSync. The data package is available and suggested if you plan on using the device to check email, browse the Internet or wirelessly update your device using Exchange ActiveSync or Wireless Sync on the Verizon Wireless network.

If you choose not to use data on the Motorola Q you will have to request a data block. The data block disables the device from using any of the above services including Picture Messaging. The Pay-As-You-Go KB package allows you to use data access at no charge monthly unless you use the Verizon Wireless network. Anytime data services are used you are charged $0.015 per KB sent or received”

With the Moto Q and Verizon, if the user is to use the pay-as-you-go KB plan, the user will now no longer be charged much more for a picture message than the user would using a normal phone where the picture message would either be covered under the user’s plan or cost as much as $0.25.

Picture messaging with other carriers Some carriers appear to limit sending and receiving pictures to e-mail transfers and according to some reports do not allow picture messaging to other cell phones from the Moto Q or from other cell phones to the Moto Q. Specifically, USCellular,Sprint, and Alltel do not enable MMS capabilities in their Motorola Q model. However, Sprint PCS users with an unlimited data/text plan will not be charged to receive pictures. If an MMS user sends a Sprint Moto Q user a picture, the Sprint Moto Q receives a text message with a link to view the picture in Internet Explorer.
