I just bought a Q9m from Verizon. While I am a long-time Axim user (I bought my X5 in April, 2003, I believe), I haven't touched the Axim since last March. However, I wanted something to hold my calendar and contacts, with light web access on the road, plus I wanted to try out BT modem access from my laptop.

I haven't tried that yet, but so far I like the Q9m. One quibble - the calendar app is not searchable - which is just silly; every database on the device should be - and any of the third party addons that I have tried (Agenda Fusion, PI) make adding calendar items way too burdensome to be worth the added search.

Truth is that I would have bought an iPhone if I had decent GSM access, but my house is in a GSM black hole (though that seems to be getting better; my sister and brother were here for Christmas and she got a signal on her Blackberry Pearl pretty well, while he was able to get a signal on his phone when he stood in specific spots in the house). For right now, though, the Moto fits the bill.

I am a little jealous of the browser on my son's iPod Touch, however . . .
