This information was posted on Engadget the other day too, which the person who made up that sheet could have pulled that information... Again, take this stuff with a grain of salt until you get confirmation from the BIG V themselves...

Their buggy phones no doubt, but my latest replacement is the worst Q I've had yet. Sometimes while typing a text message it'll just randomly send it and when I'm typing while say on the net, it'll randomly open/close PIE and other programs. It's more or less made my Q completely useless for anything other than a phone. Granted even dialing a number is a struggle at some points as it'll just punch a few extra numbers in for me when it feels like it.

I was kinda hoping Verizon would get the i760 out soon so instead of having to bother getting it replaced yet again I could just smash it on the ground to get my frustration out.

I had a Q that would do that. My current one doesn't...however it randomly just turns itself off this last week or so.

I have close to 10 Qs just because I either wanted a newer "less scratched" one, wanted a black one, or had a technical issue. (I manage a deployment of about 75 of them.)

While I have had several problems, I'd say I've had several problems with all my phones in the last few years. The Q is not exceptional.

However, I can say overall the Q ownership has been pleasant. Buy one....if you have issues, exchange it until you get a good one....Michael Style BABY!!

I've sadly been through more than 10 of them. I bought the silver Q when it first came out and can't even count how many times I had to replace it. I finally complained to Verizon to just give me another phone because back then the battery life on the Q was just about as bad as it could get. I then jumped over to a XV6700 which I couldn't stand at all as it would crash all the time and the ear piece on it was way too silent. Replaced that for a 700p that I was quite happy with, but the lack of multitasking in the Palm OS just became too annoying after a while. I sold the 700p and went back to the Q after I heard the MOL3 update was a very positive update for the phone. I've replaced the black Q about 5 times now.

I wonder when the Q9M is going to be out since it's clearly ready for launch. If that comes out soon I could always just complain to somebody at the Verizon store that I'm sick of my Q having to be replaced so often and swap it out with that. That would make the wait for the i760 much better.

Good feedback on the Q. I really love the form factor and rubberized feel of the Black finish. I'm still a Sammy fan having spent 1000's of hours in the Super Dave days pre-WM5 official release. I literally burned myself out with this phone.

Now that I have been using the Treo (sorry folks) 700wx, I have to say the ease of use with all of the interface buttons are pretty sweet. Great one-handed capability and I was pretty good with the i730 one-handed as well.

The other thing I noticed was that the standard battery on this guy is 1800 mah and the BIG extended battery on the i730 was 1700 mah. Overall it feels lighter and comfortable when holding it.

Downside: It is under-powered, old technology, lower res screen, and still a larger form factor than the Q.

Thought I'd share my new 'interim' experience even though most of my experience is old news.

Thanks for listening.

@ Vaxick - that's some SERIOUSLY bad luck!!!! I'm on my 2nd (about to be 3rd) Black Q.

I have to agree that after MOL3, a lot of the bugs were worked out. My last 2 issues were def. bad hardware.

Let's try to lay out an arsenal.

Wireless broadband's strongest WM6Pro PPC QWERTY weapons for at least the next, say, nine months, appear to be these (for the US):

1) For VZW, the Sammy i760 (Rev0) and the HTC xv6800 (RevA)

2) For AT&T, the HTC P4550 Kaiser (HSDPA/HSUPA) and the HTC X7501 Advantage (HSDPA) (soon to be sold by CompUSA, $900)

3) For Sprint, the HTC PPC-6800 Mogul (RevA), and "players to be named later," including, presumably, LG's first PPC--coming in 2008

4) For T-Mo, nothing to report pending its 3G rollout

Are there, in the pipeline, any other known WM6Pro broadband contenders for the "Big 3" carriers?

For various reasons, we can exclude devices such as the Palm Treo 700Wx/750/755p, Moto Q9h/Q9m, Moto MC35, HTC SMT5800/S720 Libra, HTC P4350 Atlas/Herald/T-Mo Wing, BBs, iPhone, Nokias, SEs, Sanyos, etc.

The problem for many is that none of this wave of devices, in combination with the networks on which they ride, is ideal. Compromises diminish them all.

--BAM

i totally agree with those of you that have said VZW really only pushes one PDA device at a time and right now it is definitely the blackberry 8830 world edition. I've seen ads on the tube, in Fortune, Entrepreneur and Inc. From a marketing standpoint, you've gotta think they have a plan and it involves a calculated release and marketing push for each device. I think they think Q users, HTC users and i760 users are one in the same, so if we see anything on either the HTC or the new Q9M after the 8830 push we probably wont see anything for the 760 until after. -Hopefully, the i760 is on deck and up next after the 8830.

...In case they dont pre-release to biz customers, anyone know what time of day they typically release online!?
