Motorola's answer to the RIM Blackberry has finally appeared, and been tested. NewsWireless sources have said that the display is "rather small" and that it isn't a match for its rival. But the latest reviewer is more excited.

According to Mobile Burn, it's OK. According to CNET, it's pretty. Summary:

The good: The Motorola Q boasts a sexy, ultrathin design and features a sharp display, a full QWERTY keyboard, EV-DO support, and a sharp multimedia functionality. The Windows Mobile 5 smart phone also has integrated Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and solid call quality.

The bad: The Motorola Q lacks integrated Wi-Fi and analog roaming, and you can't use its Bluetooth as a wireless modem. The screen also tends to hold a lot of smudges, and there's no option for a camera-less version at this time.

The bottom line: The Motorola Q lives up to much of the hype by offering good call quality, an excellent multimedia experience, and the essential productivity tools, all wrapped up in a sexy little package.

There's even a video. For full review see CNET.
