New iPhone => Wannabe MotoQ?

As this posting’s title suggests, is the iPhone “equal to or greater than” the Motorola Q?!?  With the recent realization by Apple that the iPhone should be more corporate-friendly, aren’t they just creating a wannabe MotoQ?

Motorola’s Q family of phones already has so many of the iPhone features and has a long standing history of working with corporate email.  Plus, the Q does MMS (unlike the iPhone) and has long been on EVDO, while the iPhone is just now getting 3G instead of the pathetically slow EDGE network. As I’ve shown before, the Q has iPod functionality of the iPhone, albeit with Windows Media Player instead of iTunes.  Even their lower price seems to want to take on the Q’s pricing.

  1. If you get a data block on your moto q with verizon will it stop all data such as txt? and if it doesnt wat would the cost be to disable internet and email??? thanks!

  2. Hi, I’ve both owned and used a MotoQ and iPhone. I’m pretty technology agnostic.

    Hands down, the MotoQ is better for instant messaging and IM. It has the better battery life, too.

    Also, with the iPhone, you have to “hack” it to share it’s network.

    The iPhone and MotoQ in my mind are already corporate-friendly depending on your businesses infrastructure. If you have a pure Mac house, which is common in the SF Bay Area, then the iPhone is ready to sync all your emails, calendars and contacts with your current system.
