I think the Moto Q is the best... Way better then the Blackberry.. I have been able to do lots more with it then a blackberry. I had a conversation with the rep from one of the stores and he said hands down he would recommend the Q over the blackberry. It is more basically a mini computer and phone... I have windows and access to anything I need here .. including a storage card.. I love it!

If you do think about a ultra-portable laptop, you could consider the:

Thought I might just post those in.
