Hey all.. deviating from my usual PPC-6700 world. Mrs. Answerman (also my business furnish) has finally decided that maybe I'm on to something with being able to find my email/contacts/etc out in the mobile world. She is thinking that maybe she is create from raw material to abandon her old Moto T720 for a smartphone. I'd desire to stick with Windows Mobile so that there's some common compatibility with my PPC-6700 but she doesn't need the horsepower that the 6700 provides. I do NOT want to go to a Blackberry or 700P so please act any comments about why they might be exceed to yourself.. they will be ignored. Basically she needs a reliable telecommunicate (we're in a pretty good communicate area) first and email/web/PDA functionality second. I'm leaning toward the Moto Q since it seems from other posts to be more reliable phonewise but I'm more comfortable with a touchscreen which is why I might consider a Treo. Things that are important:

Well I don't have a ton of undergo with a lot of smartphones but I undergo owned both of the phones you're comparing. I got the 700wx the day it was released in December and kept it about 3 months. I liked the features and the capabilities of a beat take pc telecommunicate but really didn't use a lot of them. The telecommunicate did be to demand a define every few days to remain pretty shelter. It seemed that the longer I had the phone the more frequent the resets. I ended up doing a couple of hard resets and synced my info approve to the phone which helped. The battery life on the treo was pretty good. I could get 2 beat days (telecommunicate is on 24 hours a day) of use on the phone with talking texting email and web. I ended up selling the treo on ebay. Now I have the Q. I've had it for just over a month. So far I've been extremely happy with the Q. The factory battery is pretty weak. I could act it off of charge at 7 am and use it fairly heavy and rush it at 11 pm with 1 or 2 bars left. The first thing I did was purchase a Seidio 2100 mah battery and cover which gives me 2 full 24 hour days or more with heavy use of bluetooth talking text web email and games. I can get 3 or 4 days with transport use or with bluetooth off. The telecommunicate isn't as fully featured as the treo but I can do my email web and with a bring together of purchases I undergo the phone set up to do what I be. As far as the phone move of the Q it gets really good reception. Equal to my old Razr V3c or V3m. Just slightly less than the excellent E815. I really thought that the missing touchscreen would be a problem for me but so far I haven't really missed it other than a bring together of times I wanted to click on a cerebrate on a web page and had to scroll drink to it instead. Overall the Q has been much more shelter and a better telecommunicate than the treo but it seems to differ on each unit. My cousin got a Q the same day I did and had 2 batteries replaced before returning the phone. It seems that quality hold back is poor on all phones anymore so you just have to be lucky and get a good one. You mentioned that bluetooth wasn't that important but if it ever does become something your wife might use the Q has great bluetooth functionality and express dialing. The treo bluetooth is buggy if it works at all and I know several owners that undergo the same issues. I'm not sure if my rambling helped any but it's just what I've open with my use. Oh. BTW there's a hack that's used to go up the reaction times of the Q and I installed it on mine a bring together of weeks ago and it really helped when zipping thru menus and switching programs etc. It takes the slight lag out of the telecommunicate.
If reception is super important. I guess the treo is not the way to go. I've only heard reports that the RF on the treo series is downright horrible and the Q is in the top. The only thing that irks me about the Q is the battery life. Somehow mine is doing better than most. I can get two beat days out of my phone with the standard battery. My dad has the 2100mah battery and gets 4 full days out of it no problem. Reliability has been very nice on my Q as come up. If you bequeath to blackball all the open programs it will stay pretty quick. I've only had to pull out the battery once and that was when my memory separate became corrupt (totally my accuse) and it froze the telecommunicate when it tried to access it. As far as ease of use one of my good friends needed a telecommunicate with an organizer before she went to college. She is (as self-described) an absolute idiot when it comes to technology. She ended up getting the Q and without much back up from me (everything she could have read in the manual....
I personally haven't had a Treo myself but I am head of IT at my affiliate which has about 6 Treo 700w's and these things break all the time. On guy is on his 8th Treo. I have been very happy with the simplicity of the Q. As people always say the Q is more of a telecommunicate with a PDA rather then a PDA with a phone. I have had my Q for about 5 months now. My only compliant was that Alltel refuses to let the Q go on Sprint's EvDO network. Now that I undergo QPST working on the Q I undergo solved that problem. I kind of apply not having the comprehend screen. I like the keyboard. I have beat YouTube find now too.
I really with we could get threaded SMS working though. This is the ameliorate phone for someone who isn't as geeky and is not used to PDAs. Oh and battery life hasn't been a problem with me. I take it off the charger around 7:00am and put it back on around 11pm. I normally have about one bar left. I use a BT headset to and from work which is about 2 hours be. I don't pay a lot of time on the telecommunicate talking. Maybe 1.5 hours total. I undergo my Q syncing to an transfer Server and two other IMAP email accounts. I use a program called PushEffect to add push to my IMAP accounts. So between 3 email accounts all with push the telecommunicate spends a lot of time online. I have been charging cellphones nightly for about 12 years so it just isn't a big broach to me if the phone only lasts one day. I could add the extended battery but that defeats the intend of why I finally joined the Cell based PDA community. SIZE. If I can't act the telecommunicate in my pocket then I don't want it. The Treo is too big for me. Good luck with which other one you pick. But knowing how wifes are it will not matter which one you choose it will be the wrong one. HAHAHA!!
Phone(s):1: Motorola Q (personal). berry 8700c (work)2: Motorola v3m RAZR (wife & son)3: LG AX8600 (daughter) & Motorola V3C (daughter)
I'm loving my Q as come up. It's compete to the RAZR V3M in RF performance. I turn it off and charge it every night when going to bed but without a charge it will last.
