What is the Moto Q Missing?
The Moto Q has many innovative features but does lack some
functionality. The device does not support WiFi (802.11b), but you can add WiFi
support via a MiniSD SDIO Card. The device is also missing AKU2, which means no support for MSFP (Microsoft Push E-Mail), which can be solved by the release of an upgraded ROM for the device. Its also important to note that the previous
version of AUTD push email does work with the device, which is not a serious
problem for the Verizon network.
That push e-mail seems pretty important to keep this device competing with RIMMs Blackberry 8700s. I wonder if this fact will slow the sales of the expected rollout of 5 million handhelds by the end of the year. That Wi-Fi thing shouldn't be too bad because a MiniSD SDIO card runs about $50 or so. It would have been nice to have them include that since the some of the newer Blackberrys already have that built in.
