Photos: Top 10 must-have gadgets
1. Motorola Q
Meet the Q. Don't let its thin frame fool you: There's a lot of fight in that sleek form factor. It runs Windows Mobile 5. It has a 1.3-megapixel camera. It's an on-the-go multimedia/productivity champ, with EV-DO support, solid call quality, a full keyboard and Bluetooth. And it just got a fancy new software update. We wish it did Wi-Fi, but archrival Palm Treo can't do that, either.
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: The Motorola Q boasts a sexy, ultrathin design and features a sharp display, a full QWERTY keyboard, EV-DO support, and a sharp multimedia functionality. The Windows Mobile 5 smart phone also has integrated Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and solid call quality.
The bad: The Motorola Q lacks integrated Wi-Fi and analog roaming, and you can't use its Bluetooth as a wireless modem. The screen also tends to hold a lot of smudges, and there's no option for a cameraless version at this time.
The bottom line: The Motorola Q lives up to much of the hype by offering good call quality, an excellent multimedia experience, and the essential productivity tools, all wrapped up in a sexy little package.
