Okay.. So I first picked up the Moto Q from Telus on the 12th of October. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with this waste of technology. I'm currently on my 2nd handset, and it still isn't functioning like it's supposed to.
Here are some problems I've had and am still having:
- Battery life sucks, charge standard battery 3-5 times a day, even with it's sitting in my pocket at work doing nothing. I charge the extended about 2-3 times a day with the same scenario.
- Incoming calls do not work, and go straight to my voice mail. The notifications don't work till days later, or I just don't get the voice mail messages
- Text messaging is slow and I get messages late. Telus customer care sent an "urgent" message to purge the data through, that worked for a few days and now it's not working that great.
- If I check my email on a computer, it'll show new emails. I will not look at them hoping the Q would pick them up, but it doesn't.
- The OS is sluggish as mud with only an app or two running (MSN, text messages). It has crashed several times, and has doesn't the "I don't want to shut off" routine. I blame Winblows Mobile for this problem..
The only things that have worked well are... Well.. The Dial-up modem feature (using it right now), and the built-in web browser.
I'm really ticked off at Telus, and at Motorola for releasing such a terrible product. I had the RAZR v3c for almost 2 years with Telus and have not had a single problem, then took the Q as an upgrade. I regret every minute of taking this wasteful item.
I depend on my cell phone as my "main phone" as Bell Canada is the worst company to deal with. And now I can't even rely on Telus.
This thing is going back and I'm making them give me a DIFFERENT phone for free. Or they can cancel my contract and pay the penalty fees and I'll switch to Rogers. I honestly don't know who to be more angry at.. Motorola or Telus.
For any one who's looking at this phone.. Don't get it, get a Blackberry or a Palm instead. I can only imagine how much better those devices are.
