Moto Q the Ideal Replacement For Dead PDA

Last Tuesday I lost my Blackberry Pearl 8130, and after an hour's panic, reported it to Telusmobility as lost.

By the 11th, I'd order the new Motorola Q, after discovering that I'd paid Telusmobility enough to opt for the $200 credit for a replacement PDA - despite the sales droid misleading me.

The next day I spent $70+ dollars for a unlocked LG245 previous owned by a Hmong kid, based on the pictures left on the mobile. Because it was pay as you go I couldn't get it locked properly.

Anyway, ' long story short, the mobile had arrived by Friday, but was delivered to me on Saturday. Thankfully, I'd left instructions to leave it at the landlord's since otherwise I'd get a note on how to pick it up'.

Final story is, after a day's use with my new Moto Q, it is the ideal replacement for the lost Crackberry! Tho, I did lose a 8GB microSD, but had a spare 2GB miniSD card for the new Q.

So today Q's gonna help me record the first snowstorm of December 2008.

Yesterday I got the ruggedizer kit for the Q, which consists of the rubber case that keeps it from getting badly dinged when dropped.

With the kit comes a ruggedized holder, and I was trained on how to attach the Q to the holder: by placing the bottom of the device in the base of the holder and snapping the top in place with the screen face towards the body to prevent the fragile glass screen from cracking.

However, my pictures taken with the 1.3MP camera indicate that the plastic protector over the camera lens is resulting in a blurry image not totally caused by shakey hands.

Apart from that, I had to locate the Q manual, and Googled for it.

Moments later, the manual is in my PDF folder on the drive.

The reason why I need the manual was that I couldn't figure out an icon, but learned that it appears only when in headphone mode.
