I have been using the MotoQ for the last 10 days and its very disapppointing.
- people at the other end gets frequent voice breaking despite having good signal strength. need to move to various sides and have to keep the phone in certain fashion for the other side to hear what i am saying !!.
- calls are getting cut within few rings. I expect the phone to ring for few seconds.never had this issue with my Sony Ericsson P 910i.
- Browsing is Pathetic. I have noticed that after opening few sites if you leave the device for few minutes and then if you try to resume the browsing for some reason, it says locating and then shows the error message. Looks like, its not able to continue with the same session. I could not find the disconnect option which was very useful in PocketPC edition.
- One good thing which i have noticed in Windows Mobile 5.0 and above devices is the Internet Sharing utility. If you have WMDC on your laptop, ( WMDC has the network drrivers for the MotoQ modem) click on the internet sharing icon and choose the connectivity ( bluetooth or USB) and then say connect. you can now start browsing from the laptop

Google has come up with a new tool "knol", which stands for a unit of knowledge. According to their official blog, Our goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it. For me, it looks like a serious competition to Wikipedia. check this out.
Google is working on a interesting idea to increase keywords used for images search. Every user will be shown a random image and it will be paired with another partner who's currently online during that time. if the user label and partner label matches for an image, then both of them gets points. Worth checking this out.
