Status Light

The status light tells you when you have an incoming call or message, or when your phone is roaming (using a non-home system). The light changes colour to indicate different states:

By default, the status light indicator is turned off to extend battery life. See the “Status Light” item on page 78 to turn on the status light.

Note: Turning on the status light will substantially reduce your phone’s standby time (the length of time that your phone’s battery retains power when the phone is turned on but is not in use).

Moto Q specifications

The Motorola Moto Q represents an impressive blend of cutting-edge technology and stylish design, catering to both business professionals and casual users. Launched in 2006, this device was part of the Q series, targeting a segment that required a smartphone capable of handling productivity tasks while still being user-friendly.

One of the standout features of the Moto Q is its QWERTY keyboard, which allows for efficient typing, making it ideal for emailing and messaging on the go. The keyboard is neatly integrated below the display, providing a comfortable typing experience that many users appreciated at the time. The slim form factor of the device, coupled with the keyboard, offered a unique combination that distinguished it from other smartphones available in the market.

The Moto Q features a 320 x 240 pixel display, offering a decent resolution for reading text and viewing multimedia. The screen is complemented by support for a range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing users to stay connected at all times. Additionally, it comes equipped with a mini USB port for charging and data transfer, which was an accepted standard during its era.

Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0, the device allows users to access a variety of applications designed for productivity. This OS enables seamless integration with Microsoft Office applications, making it a practical choice for business users who rely on tools like Word and Excel. The inclusion of a microSD slot for expandable storage further adds to its versatility, allowing users to store a significant amount of data, from documents to media files.

The Moto Q also incorporates a 1.3-megapixel camera, which, while not groundbreaking, provides the capability to capture moments for casual photography. This camera was typical for smartphones of that period. Overall, the Motorola Moto Q is remembered for its striking design, user-oriented features, and reliable performance, marking a significant chapter in the evolution of mobile technology. Although smartphones have since evolved dramatically, the Moto Q laid the groundwork for many of the features we take for granted today.
