Anyone have the moto Q?

I got one and have had about a week to play with it. Love the feel
rubber style paint. Its very different coming from a treo. But I
wanted to go with something a little simpler this time. It is about
half the thickness of my old treo 650 has crashed allot less twice,
both times were when trying to check email and a call was coming
through. Internet in my area has been pretty fast reached highest
940kbps on www.dslreports.com/mspeed and lowest on distant from EVDO I
have reached 24kbps. I try and run different speed test in different
areas. I find my self having to disconnect the phone, like going into
airplane mode and reconnecting just to restart the internet. Is there
an easier way? Manually connecting to the EVDO network and
disconnecting? I know on the treo there was an option to connect to
network and disconnect. Other times I just reboot the phone. Time
consuming.

Not having touch screen is something new for me, replaced with the
wheel. (When can we get a phone with both?).

Bluetooth..... Coming from the treo 650 this phone is great! Using the
same jabra JX10 on my treo 650 I couldn't leave line of sight. Now
with the moto Q I have been able to go all over my house still
maintaining good quality audio both ways! While at the same time
synced to my computer. Only thing I don't like is that Motorola uses
Motorola Bluetooth Manager instead of Microsoft's. Which means
Bluetooth GPS from Microsoft the GPS-360 using iGPS-BT doesn't want to
connect. The iGPS-BT requires MSBTManager... what's the deal? Does
anyone know a way around this?

I can't think of anything else to write about it but if anyone wants
to correct me on anything or add to this quick brief review... Please
do.

I've got a Moto Q and I love it. I've had it for about 2-3 weeks, I switch
over from nextel (and my clunky i930, which I only have about a month)

about how to connect to the EVDO network, Why would you want to disconnect
from it? or are you saying that some areas dont' have EVDO, and once you ge
tback in an EVDO area it wont' reconnect.?

I've romed a few times off the EVDO network and I've always connected right
when I get back in range.

Besides that, it's a great phone, there are SO MANY 3rd party apps out
there. (I have a nintendo emulator right nwo with about 6 games, also have
an app that allows me to stream my XM radio, who needs to spend a few
hundred bucks now for a portable XM player, when I've got my moto Q.

the only grip I've heard about this phone are some bugs (my friends locked
up on him once and wouldn't turn on til he removed the battery) and I've
heard people complain about battery life (for me, comming from 6 years of
nextel and a month with teh i930, this battery life was MUCH longer.)

anyone else have these?

That seems to be my problem, everytime I go out of range or in some
cases after getting a phone call, I end up having to restart my phone
just to be able to use internet again, cause it wont reconnect. As in
my old treo i would just click a disconnect then click connect again
to refresh the connection.

And battery life could be better....in my case with checking my email
from time to time or using IM+ for about 5 to 10 min. Battery is down
to about half or less. My treo would go alot longer leaving IM+
connected all day.

Im looking into the extended battery.

Any info on being able to stream Sirius?

yes you can stream sirius and XM on your phone, my friend has it with his
phone, it works pretty well.
I also downloaded a nintendo emulator for the Q (makes the Q like a gameboy,
haha)

my battary lasts a little over a day with the amount of e-mail I check and
the calls I make. I'm also looking into the extended battery
