It's the ultimate mobile showdown these days: the Motorola "Q" vs. the Blackberry 8700. I've been using both recently - and the hands down winner is the 8700. Perhaps the decision has to do with the fact I've been using a Blackberry for a couple of years, but the Blackberry is still a user-friendly device that simply works well. The "Q", however, suffers from trying to carve out a niche by being all things to all people. There are so many features that none of them stand out. It is particularly frustrating to select an application, and then have to wait and wait for it to launch. And to make matters worse, there doesn't appear to be an escape button to quickly bail on the process. Meanwhile, the 8700 chugs along doing a couple things well (e-mail and voice). The 8700 has a colour screen and a new keyboard but it's still not sexy. It does work and that's what matters. For ahead to head review, check out Blackberry Cool.
