The .net software loaded on this phone is outdated. You will not be able to use quite some of the software available for down load on the 'Q' site on this phone. After complaining to the MOTO service centre for 5 days now, there is no response. There is no group SMS available on this phone. You will not be able to play real music files on this phone

Moto has pathetic lenses and still/video quality. I have a Motoming and it is not a patch on Nokia.

The Moto Q is the probably the best thing happened so far (baring the fact that I haven't got a chance to work on the Apple iPhone and Nokia's Mango series). Great buy; worth its value. Thanks

so far if check the looks of mobile r quite attractive bcz of its blue screen n keypad color. now a days lots of business phones there in the market which offer better camera like 2mgpixel. and looking at the prospective tata is saying it is to enhance the quality and convenience of everyday life...but i would like to say they should look after the future need of the market. it means they work like the indian gov. which develop the plan for present need not the future...if the company has to keep this mobile in market they need come up with better thing bcz pretty soon they have to fight with apple i-phone. n they need to lower the price near abt Rs 16500/- bcz nokia have a mobile very similar to this in E series.

well its a bit too overpriced like all moto products are initially, hopefully it will slip into 15k-13k range in 2-3 months
