I have been editing this article for a few days. I ran down through the article and fixed any grammer mistakes I could find. I would appreciate any suggestions on what to do and how I can really improve it further. Thanks a lot. [[User:Mr. Killigan|Mr. Killigan]] 06:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

The '''[[Motorola]] Q''' is a [[smartphone]] first announced in the Summer of [[2005]] as a thin device with similar styling to Motorola's immensely popular [[RAZR]]. Motorola in a partnership with [[Verizon Wireless]] released the Q on May 31, 2006{{ref|autonumber}}. A version for [[Sprint Nextel|Sprint]] was released early in January of 2007 [http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/01/14/sprints-motorola-q-finally-goes-on-sale/] and one for [[Amp'd Mobile]] in April of 2007.
==== Kirill Lokshin ====
The Q differs from Verizon's flagship Windows Mobile phone, the [[Treo 700w]], in that it is very thin, runs the Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition OS (lacking touchscreen support), and has a landscape 320x240 screen. It also employs a thumbwheel on the right side of the unit, similar to the industry-leading [[BlackBerry]]. [[Motorola]] hopes to position the Q as an attractive alternative to the [[BlackBerry]].
There are a number of areas to work on, at this point; keep in mind, though, that this is a very high-profile article, so you should be careful to move slowly and carefully to avoid getting entangled in any editorial conflicts here.
The Q was first released in Canada on June 15, 2006 with [[Telus Mobility]]. [[Bell Mobility]] began offering the phone later that year (September 22) and then became the first North American carrier to offer a [http://www.cellphones.ca/cell-phones/phone/484/ black] version of the Motorola Q on November 13, 2006.
* <s>The article is, in my opinion, simply too long; we're looking at 72K (~12,000 words) of prose. The "Legacy" section, in particular, is ripe for splitting out into a separate [[Legacy of the Korean War]] article, with a much shorter summary left in the main one.</s>
* <s>"Korean War (1950 – 1953)" should really be something like "Course of the war"; you probably don't want to repeat the article title as a section heading.</s>
* The citations need cleanup; at a minimum, all of the embedded external links should be converted to footnotes. There are also a number of "citation needed" tags floating around. Beyond that, more thorough citation would be appropriate throughout the article; see [[WP:MILHIST#CITE]] for some guidelines.
* <s>The "Depictions" section should be turned into prose, rather than a laundry list of films; see also [[WP:MILHIST#POP]].</s>
* <s>The "Names" section, as it's presently constituted, would work much better as a narrow sidebar; it's of some interest, but I doubt there's enough material to sustain a separate section.</s>
* <s>The "See also" section should be eliminated. If something isn't worth linking from the text, it's generally not worth linking at all. </s>
* <s>The rump "Bibliography" section should be removed as well.</s>
* The "External links" section could use trimming.
Hope that helps! [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<s>cool</s>
::Thank you very much for offering your opinion! [[User:Mr. Killigan|Mr. Killigan]] 00:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
In July 2007, the new model of the Moto Q, [[Motorola Q 9h]] will replace this.
==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 you use the Moto Q with Verizon and disable data transfer, then you no longer lose the functionality which all non-smart phones have of sending and receiving picture messages
The following is a quote attributed to Verizon technical support: ([http://qenusasupportforums.motorola.com/pe//action/forums/displaypost?postID=10113460 Source: discussion forum post])
{{quote|"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. <br><br>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 you are to use the pay-as-you-go KB plan, you will now no longer pay much more for a picture message than you will using a normal phone where the picture message would either be covered under your 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.

==Motorola Q wiki==
[[Motorola]] operates a public wiki dedicated to the Q, which uses [[MediaWiki]], the same software that runs [[Wikipedia]]. The wiki was originally seeded with the contents of the Q's instruction manual, which has since been edited and added upon. Specifically, information on how to make operator-specific functions has been described in practical detail that could not be covered in the manual - such as how to set up the laptop Internet access tethering feature. The wiki can be found at http://www.motoqwiki.com.
==Motorola Q support forums==
[[Motorola]] offers the Q community six discussion forums. Topics include getting started, email setup, bluetooth technology, synching, multimedia features and third party applications. The forums are supported by Motorola Q users and are located at http://qsupportforum.motorola.com/pe/.
==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. 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.
