So, I got my Qtek and now I can get rid of my MPx200. (IMG:http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

However, with such a fine product there are always some _minor_ issues needing to be resolved.

Cons - to be worked out

1. DOES NOT PICK UP PHONE CALLS/RECEIVE TXT OR EMAIL MSGS WHEN PHONE HAS BEEN IN A "IDLE" STATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. ADDITIONALLY, VOICEMAIL INDICATOR WILL NOT SHOW IF A CALL IS MADE DURING THIS "IDLE" STATE. <crying icon goes here>
-Review documented fixes in this thread; $40 IMEA CID unlocker OR $9 SlipStream software will solve the coma problems.

2. Internet does not work the same, but I'm sure we can get that going.
-Ez fix, just change your GPRS connection to "proxy" if you are in the USA.

Check this link for connections near you:http://www.voq.com/site/downloads/GPRSSettings.htm

3. Construction seems a little flimsier than I thought.

4. Am I the only 1 who likes the menus in a list?? Why does WM5 not allow you to change this feature??
-addressed by reghack, but WHY?!?!?

5. Unable to find a hack to stop the status light from draining my battery!!!

6. Top right key can sometimes be a pain because it is just above the close connection/power button. A little frustrating, but smaller thumbs help. (IMG:http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Pros

1. Design is great, reminds me of one of the robots from "Battery's not included" when it's charging.

2. Camera & Video Recorder are fair, meets expectation level.

3. Media player works well, but have noticed with MicroSD the files take sometime to be loaded. Reminds me of the SD rated speed mpx200 issue. (IMG:http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
