I'd had mine for about 3 weeks now, and I'm loving it. It's extremely functional and gets good battery life, especially with the extended battery, but I don't use it that much since I charge my phone nightly.

One thing I'd like to do is use a bluetooth GPS reciever with it. I've just downloaded Google Maps Mobile, and it's such a kick *** program! It's decently quick and has nearly all the features of regular Google Maps. Anyone else using it? I'd like to know how it mats up with a GPS reciever.

I'm going to sell my Dell PDA and CF card GPS reciever now, since this phone is pretty much got everything I'd ever need.

I'm not running a Blackjack, but a Cingular 8125. Web is kinda slow, but the 8525 took care of that with the 3G network usage. I LOVE google maps mobile. I don't need the GPS so much as just knowing where the actual location of something is. I can usually find my way faster without the directions, especially if it's somewhere I've been before but can't remember exactly where it was.

i was thinking about getting either the blackjack or the motorola q..

 

They're essentially the same phones.

The Moto Q uses the Verizon CDMA network, while the BJ uses the GSM network.

 

Yeah, GPS is a possibility, but not needed. I'm great with knowing how to get around, so just having the maps feature is good enough to helps me find places to eat or something like that.

I currently use the Moto Q. Decent phone I upgraded to the bigger battery for extended life. I should of went with the 700W.

I use it mostly for emails, aim, and google map.

I loved my dell X50v I just wish it had phone call capabilities...

 

Thanks for the tip Gagan! I just loaded Googlemap on my blackjack too

 

I'm thinking of getting one since the prices went down so low now and my current phone is so crappy. People told me to just report my phone lost/stolen and go get another one.

 

I got the 'Premier At&t site' $49 refurb special blackjack. I'm happy but still exploring it's capabilities.

No Google maps though...I need a data plan. It's running good for what I'm using it for with a MM plan.

 

hmmm, I think I'd rather stick to my treo than to get a Q or a blackjack...I know, I'm a hater.

Screen looks tiny on the two phones, no touchscreen...

 

waiting on the iphone.

<-- apple fanboi

 

I thought the Q used something other than Windows Mobile.

No problem!

It really is a great program!

 

good battery life? you must really not use this phone

Mine is having issues right now

not reading my memory card, battery not charging (I have to use the external charger)

I'm gonna get it warrantied out soon though

 

i was gonna get the blackjack but i would end up breaking it so its not worth it to me.

i am thinking about this ericsson though:
