There's no option for I already have it and it's freggin awsome. I voted for getting the Q now. And it is awsome. Probably not for everyone, but great for most.

rg,
I am doing the same thing. I like WM5 on the i730 so the Q will have to be good for a switch.

given my past Moto experiences, i'm about as skeptical of Moto's smartphone making ability as anyone. however, from a smartphone perspective, the Q (so far) is working very well. form factor is a big plus, the scroll wheel can be iffy sometimes but it's definitely a plus (could be me getting accustomed to it). the Q is much more responsive that the 200, 220, and the audiovox 5600 that i've used in the past. the sound quality - especially incoming call quality - is much improved. it's on par with the Treo 700w - in my opinion, that device had the best call quality. on the other hand, the keyboard is somewhat cramped for my liking. nonetheless, i'll take it over T9 on other smartphone devices: it's much easier to type.
i have to get used to the "missing" features that are common with my Qtek 9100 and (T-Mo) and my 6700 such as touch screen and the larger keyboard. so far all is well...if at the end of 2 weeks i don't encounter "major" issues, i'll likely purchase the phone since i'm already on VZW (via my company). another compelling factor is that i'll pay $150 for the phone with my VZW corp discount and my company picking up the balance.
for those doing the "14-day" test, i'll be interested to hear your reasons for NOT keeping the phone. I'll be sure to post my thoughts if i send it back.

MPx200 lasted me 4 years. Lets see the longevity for a change.

It'd be nice if it had some reception!! Ever since Cingular took over and ruined everything, my 200 has no reception in San Antonio. Any one know of a side-by-side between the Q and the 700w? I'm getting one of them on my birthday in August, but most importantly, I'm dumping Cingular for Verizon! My eyes are failing me in my old age, so the larger, albeit less sharp screen of the 700w seems like a better choice for us aging baby boomers who are starting to use 2.00+ reading glasses!

There are a few side by side pics here. I am moving from the 700w to the Q, so I can answer any questions you have about the two.

Where's the "I love my FLIPPIN' Smartphone, any version of the Q is of no interest to me." option? Just speaking in regards to the form factor...the rest of the phone seems very nice. I wear 1.75 reading glasses and have no problem with the 220 screen but the 200's was better. Just that extra .2 made it much easier to read. Looking forward to the 2.2 screen on StarTrek (aka Qtek 8500, Dopod S300).
