yeah it works great (i have one) there are a few quarks though
the Q has full functionality (phonebook, missed calls, etc), however, it does reboot randomly when connected from time to time. this is a common Q thing (not just with audis), which hopefully will be addressed in the future, but all phones have issues i guess
other than that it works pretty good, links automatically when you get in an out, provided you program it to always accept the audi. it also plays your ringtone over bluetooth which is cool
i would reccommend the phone if you don't need blackberry level email (ie instant) and can deal with pop or imap every 15 minutes, which is fine for me.
the only drawback are verizons plans, costs me over 100 a month for voice and unlimited data, which kinda sucks...but i guess you gotta pay to play

I'm running a Q with MOL2 software upgrade and my B7 S4 no problems
I like the Q a lot. I had a Blackberry 8700, which was great for e-mail, but lousy as a phone and lousy as an organizer. I had a Treo 650, which was decent as a phone and pretty good as an organizer, but my e-mail crapped out after about a week. (I should add that both the BB 8700 and the Treo 650 were on Cingular. At the time, I was carrying a separate personal cell on Verizon; I have since combined everything into the Q on Verizon.)
The Q is great as a phone, good as an organizer, and pretty good on e-mail. I run it using the Microsoft Direct Push technology from my work's Exchange server, and it seems to perform about as reliably as the Blackberry in terms of timing of delivery. My biggest--and maybe my only--gripe about the Q is that it seems to miss every 9th or 10th key I type.
That said, I'm hoping for a new Windows Mobile Treo to hit Verizon sometime this summer. Otherwise, I just might head over to Cingular/AT&T and pick up the Treo 750.

If you haven't already done so, you should upgrade to the MOL2 software
I have a Black Q and have only needed to reboot a couple of times when using Windows Live which is a beta version. All standard apps have been rock solid.
