The New Motorola Q vs. The PalmOne Treo 650
With more and more business people taking their office on the road with them in the form of Smart phones, how does the new Motorola Q compare to the tried and true Treo 650 from PalmOne?
The advanced features of the Treo 650 include:
- A 640 x 480 resolution, 2x digital zoom digital camera.
- RealPlayer software that lets you listen to MP3 and RealAudio files.
- The ability to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments.
- The ability to edit MS Word and Excel files.
- Bluetooth wireless technology.
- CIF-quality (352 x 288 pixels) resolution video capture / camcorder.
- A backlit QWERTY keyboard.
- One infrared port.
- When this phone is connected to your computer via USB,
- Bluetooth or infrared, you can use it as a modem.
- PC synchronization with Windows Sync or Exchange Server ActiveSync.
The new Motorola Q offers all of the above features, plus a few more. the Q has a thumbwheel, for single-handed use, and it has something that none of the other smart phones in the world have: the thinness of a RAZR. thats right, Motorola packed everything youre used to seeing on a bulky handheld, like the Blackberry or PalmOne Treo, and put it in a package that is 50% thinner than other smart phones.
While the fact that the Motorola Q is thinner than other smart phones, shouldnt be the deciding factor in selecting a smart phone. It is for me; because the Q offers everything else the other phones offer plus coolness, which is a commodity in which I am distinctly lacking.
