What can't you live without

[lil_sunshine]

What type of phone did you come from? What would keep you from being able to go back to a dumb phone at this point?

For me its:
-Ability to download Podcasts to my phone over the air
-Robust calendar and to do list
-Excel, Word, and PDFs
-Music player with smart bookmarks and ability to play WMA-DRMs (for my library audiobooks)

Calendar, Tasks, Internet/email access. Just couldn't go back to not having it.

I am abit worried, about this september, as I'll be up for my new Every Two, and there won't be a new Q out by then.

came from a stupid LG flip phone...basically having everything at my fingertips....
how COULD you go back!

[mike250rs]

mostly a decent sized screen, hard to tell what your looking at with a tiny ass lcd!

also a kepad is a mandatory, you think my spelling is bad now..should have seen it on the POS Sanyo I had prior.

real internet and video are a big+

Whole lineage...
Audiovox CDM9155 -> LG 5350 -> Sanyo 7300 -> LG PM325 -> Moto Q -> RAZR2 V9m (a gift from Moto, I used it for 3 weeks) -> Q9c
The internets are nice, but the pocket outlook is what I can't do without. It comes in really handy for networking with other Army Sound Techs and when I need a set list yesterday.

It's just nice having a converged device and not having to carry around multiple devices - calendar/to-do, email, document processing, web surfing/searching, music, GPS . . . so much I can do with this handy Q. Makes me wonder why I waited for so long . . .

You sound like that iPhone commercial , but I totally agree. I use to carry an iPod, a cell phone, and a PDA. Now, it's all in one device. My friends and family are amazed at what I do with my phone. In fact, my sister calls it my magic phone.

I came from an LG VX8300, and I am not sure that I can ever go back!

I love having the full internet, the keyboard, and being able to use aps that don't cost an arm and a leg from Get It Now.

Right now I don't have a big need for a lot of the PIM stuff, but after my promotion at work goes through, I will need all that to stay organized in the corporate world.

i had a On the vzw front i had a motov710 it still works>then LG 8200 nice mom gave it to man kid and he dropped it in the pacific ocean ooops>back to V710> then man kid bought the Q for mi Birthday last year.

I wanted to sync my outlook. I now use this "phone" as primary internet, music listen too er, flash light, home alarm monitor, my daughter hooks me up with crunchy roll anime, camera, video.... list goes on.

Before my Q9c I carried around my VZW Razr and my iPAQ. Not having to use the VZW OS was enough for me. But only having to carry my Zune and my Q is great. I love being in contact with everyone, and the Q allowed me to break away from the constraints of WiFi.
