I don't get it, a few bad words about the Q and many kind words about the iPhone and then the conclusion is "wait until iPhone 2.0"?
What if I need a new phone right now? Should I buy a Q until the next iPhone? Is that what you're saying? Because the whole idea with reviews is I am buying right now and want some real-world experience to draw from. When you go "Q vs. iPhone" I want to hear a winner.
My old phone contract just ended and the phone is basically toast, so I need to buy. Where I live in California, the Q is $99 + $2376 base 2 year contract. The iPhone is $499 + $1416 base 2 year contract. In other words:
Q = $2475 total
iPhone = $1915 total
So if you're telling me to buy a Q instead of an iPhone I think you should explain it a bit better than "Q lasted only 2 hours on batteries while iPhone went all day" it is even worse than that, there are dozens of cheap iPod batteries you can plug on the dock port and go all week with your iPhone.
I'm sorry to say it but this article stinks like rotten fish. I'm already tired of The Register's bizarre anti-iPhone bias. When you go Q vs. iPhone and can't bring yourself to declare the actual winner that is just as lame as can be. The iPhone 2.0 is as much vapor as Zune 2.0 or Earth 2.0 or whatever other thing the future may bring. I am shopping for smart phones TODAY. I need to make calls tomorrow. What should I buy, the Q or the iPhone?
