About Motorola Q��s Screen

There are a couple of things about the 's screen that make me very nervous.

This won't be the first Windows Mobile Smart phone with a 320-by-240-pixel (QVGA) screen, but it will be the first one with a QVGA screen in landscape mode by default. I'm a bit concerned that this is going to cause software incompatibilities. Also, there's no built-in screen protection.

The?Motorola representative I talked to said that this device is intended to be carried around in your pocket without a case.

To make this easier, its mini SD card slot has a flexible cover to prevent pocket lint from gumming up the works.

But there's nothing whatsoever to keep your keys from scratching up the screen. Also, when your using the Q as a phone, you're going to have to press the display up against your cheek, which will inevitably smear it a bit.

Still, the same can be said of the smart phones the Q has been created to compete with, like Treos and Black Berries. And this model does fit well in the pocket. It's wider than your typical phone, but much thinner. Find that phone at
