[geeks] Motorola Q phone: warning!

I have a client that is having me set up a Moto Q phone and a MacBook 
computer.

Warning:  the interface on the Q phone (Windows Mobile OS) will drive 
you utterly crazy.

I can't believe how bad it is.

It usually wakes up easily enough, but the whole interface feels 
sluggish and bogged down.

The jog dial works OK, but to get to an upper menu area, you have to 
press a different key (up arrow on the center directional pad).

There is even a "Task Manager" to let you kill processes that you don't 
need.

How about taking care of that automatically for me?!?!

Run away, run away ... from this phone.

Only pro:  very cool form factor.
