I'm looking for a device for my wife to replace her 700p. She likes the form factor of the Q9 but the "toys" of the Mogul. Currently she's using an LG Rumor (our spare/emergency phone) until Assurion replaces her 700p due to a damage from a "frustration-induced episode" with her 700p..a reoccurring theme....so she's come accustomed to a slider.
Here's her requirements...
Just to note...non-factor items.
Here's her requirements...
- Must be easy to type on...she does quite a few text messages..like 200 to 300 /mo. Types lightning fast too (smokes me in video games..she's a bad-a$$ button masher)
- Threaded messaging is a MUST...this is #1
- Large screen helpful...portrait/landscape feature is porb something she'll like
- dedicated hard button to call-up text messaging..or programmable quick keys/hot keys/shortcuts to specific contacts..ala speed dial
- touch-screen lock-out while on phone call..or guarantee that she won't hang-up a call with her cheek
- bullet-proof BT for headset use
- BT dialing
- good speaker phone
- good camera and video capabilities
- battery life on-par with Treo 700p
Just to note...non-factor items.
- touch screen...can live with or without it
- Probably never use WiFi..
- Not a big web browser at all...maybe to google-local something or google maps on few occasions
- Listening to MP3...got a Nano already
- No Push email ..or any email on the phone...for now
