The phone itself and service was fine.  There was a big firmware upgrade 
earlier this year that solved some problems, but the biggest problem 
with the Q that I'd imagine won't ever be fixed is the battery life.  
You will -have- to charge every day if you want a live phone when you 
start the next day.

What we did here was move to Palm Treo 650's.  Battery life can likely 
go 2 to 3 days between charges, but as with all lithium ion batteries, 
you want to keep them topped off if you can. 

With PDA's like the Treo (and others), check into a software package 
called PDA net.  This allows your phone to act as a wireless modem.
