I don't see too much of a difference between the BlackJack and the Q here. However, I did like the BlackJack's ability to stream XM radio. |
5
The HSDPA-equipped BlackJack wins hands down due to its support for Cingular Video and the new Cingular Music. Also, its 1.3-megapixel camera took sharp photos, and multimedia quality was top-notch. |

I have to give it to the BlackJack in this round, thanks to the support for Cingular Video and Cingular Music. Listening to XM radio and watching videos on the device was great, and the 1.3-megapixel camera produced some nice photos. |

Motorola Q |

The Motorola Q unfortunately does not support Verizon's V Cast multimedia service, even though the camera and music player features match those of the BlackJack. |
4
Though the Q supports Verizon's 3G EV-DO network, it doesn't support the carrier's streaming video or music downloading services. Fortunately the Q ranks alongside the BlackJack in offering Windows Media Player 10, a megapixel camera, and satisfying performance. |

Even though music and video playback on the Q were great, it would have been nice to have the option of accessing Verizon's V Cast multimedia offerings. |
