I just got back from a week-long visit to India with my MotoQ in tow. As we all (unfortunately) know, this great US-based phone doesn’t allow phone calls while abroad. You *might* make the jump and assume that it’s worthless to take with you when you leave the country. I disagree!
For my […]

As reported here, it appears that Motorola is trying to give it’s device the Motorola Q a fighting chance in the market dominated by the Blackberry. Good Technology is a Santa Clara wireless messaging company. The fact that RIM was just forced to pay out $612.5 million to NTP bodes well for Good as they […]

One of the cool things about the Motorola Q is the ever-ready cameraphone.
I’ve set my FLICKR account to receive photographs emailed from the MotoQ via an SMTP account or the MotoQ’s built-in MMS service. An aside, the MMS requires that you not take photos with the highest resolution because the file size will be […]

The instructions for MotoQ’s flight mode I’ve given before need a bit of an update… there is no longer a “flight mode” choice. With the ROM Upgrade, the choice is now listed as “Wireless Manager.” Turn the Phone OFF (but not the rest of the MotoQ’s functionality) by clicking on the Phone option if […]

As you hopefully have heard, Congress has gone and created another Y2K-ish problem for all of us. I had heard about this a few weeks back when it came to my attention that daylight savings time will start on the 2nd Sunday of March in 2007, rather than the 1st Sunday of April. […]

Good news my fellow MotoQusers! Motorola announced a new program MOTODEV Game Developer Challenge, “a competition that will reward two talented MOTODEV developers with the rare opportunity to have their winning applications published by mobile entertainment company and contest title sponsor, I-play.” This is welcome news.

Can the MotoQ be made to act as an iPOD for listening to music while you drive? I set out this week to determine the answer… We don’t have a veritable plethora of iPOD accessories for our MotoQ just yet, but as more units are sold I suppose more vendors will adapt their product […]

I’m not sure if I like/dislike the autocomplete text feature… it’s just different enough from my old Blackberry that at times I’d rather not use it. To deactivate or activate it, go to SETTINGS > More… > More… > Text Input Settings and uncheck/check the “Text Prediction” box. Of course, the other choice […]

I’ve found that before I power down the phone for charging (the most reliable method, that I’ve found to ensure a good full charge overnight), it’s best to set the phone’s profile to Silent or Meeting. That way, the startup music (or noise, for lack of a better word) is muted on power up. […]
