Motorola Q9m Review

The Motorola Q9m is currently one of the best SmartPhones available by Verizon. It does everything that is expected of it, and then some. The Multimedia Home Screen is an added bonus that many users will enjoy. The Call Quality and Reception are top-notch, despite the Speakerphone sounding a little distorted at higher volumes. The QWERTY keypad is designed well and is easier to use than that of the enV or the pervious Q model, since the keys are closer together and require less thumb movement. We highly recommend the Q9m for anyone that is looking for a Windows Mobile SmartPhone with added Multimedia capabilities.

Good

i was told "ill get a lot for my money" when i bought this phone. apparently, that didn't happen. they advertise this as a smart phone that has all the newest internet features and all those upgrades, but when you try to load the internet, the phone fails on you. i would reccomend getting something like a blackberry, cause this will dissapoint you.

22. 95 % Perfect

I have been using PDA's for some time now and this one takes the cake for me! I have the Sprint version, as I work on there Engineering support team, and have not noticed ANY issues with the functionality of the device. The data handling is high quality, though w/ the new version of WM6 I would have preferred the “real” version not just the standard. I am sure this could have been supplied if there was a higher processor and more RAM. I have found that if I stay on top of the “Kill” function O avoid most processing delays


Over all a tremendous device!

23. love it

Love this phone. I found it impossible to have all of the great features out there. But this one gave me alot while sacraficing little.

I purchased it to do away with carrying two devices (cell & pda).

Cons:
1.3 mp instead of the AT&T global's 2.0 camera.
D pad instead of the Blueberry's mouse ball.
A little wide. I would love a keyboard like the Pearl's, allowing for a narrower body.
The available menus take some time to get used to (2 home menus and one Start). The multi-media Home page is just lousy, but you can personalize the regular one for your special needs.
Still getting the hang of the speaker profiles.


Pros:
Very sleak.
The keyboard buttons are much improved since the Q black's.
Also has a faster processor and larger capacity battery than the black.
Cellular quality is great. This is a Phone/pda... not a pda first and a phone second.
Reception is great. I live in a dead zone and have had zero problems.

I have read cons such as short battery life and freeze ups. I had the data plan disabled, so I don't have email aps constantly checking for new mail. Also, and this a MUST, on my Home screen, I have the Task Manager icon pasted so I can periodically 'Kill all Aps" so they don't run in the background. Both of those can be the cause of power and freeze-up problems. If you plan on emailing America, you might want to get the extended battery. The right soft key is set as Settings, so I can easily adjust the ringer and sounds functions.

I would recommend this phone to anyone that wanted a phone with the features of Outlook.

25. Great But...

The phone is great! I really like it, the only problems that i have with it is that the camera is only a 1.3 megapixel, Wen you get a new message after pushing buttons it continues to ring, and it doesn't have wifi, but other than that it is a great phone.

26. Improved Q

19 Oct 2007 by Herromoto

96%9.6out of 10

Very much the same phone as the original Q, but improved in almost every way. WM6 adds a few features, seems to run smoother than wm5. The included DocsToGo app allows editing of attachments and other files, absent on older Q's standard items. Active Sync works very well and is easy to configure with Exchange and popmail. I'm not a big fan of Verizon's Vcast, but stereo sound quality is very good when playing music. Call quality is still excellent.
Physically, it has an upscale look and feel, retaining the matte-finish casing from the Q-black. Keyboard greatly improved for lighter touch while typing, though faster typers may get frustrated with periodic lag. The screen is easier to see in daylight, and seems brighter overall. Battery life is about the same, if not slightly improved (uses same battery as Q.)
If you're looking for a more simple business tool that's less complex than a RIM or Treo, and costs less, this is a good choice.

This phone has some really cool things to it. like the fact that it has all the songs you can choose from and listen to OTA which is nice. Of course the internet capability is good, not great, but good. I was real impressed by the Vcast service, they have a lot of music thats relatively hard to find.

I just purchased this phone and I'm a vzw employee.
This is a wonderful device. It's purpose is not to replace data devices for those who mainly want the pda functionality. This phone is more for media and basic pda use. It is not laggy when compared to other pda's unless you're running 10 apps at one time. The battery life is great for a pda. The only 2 bad things in my eyes are the 1.3 mega pixel. It doesnt suck but it's not as good as 2.0. BUT it is very very pretty.

30. dissapointed

50%5out of 10

this was supposed to replace my treo 650, what a disappointment :-( The phone itself worked great but the PIM system was lacking. It crashed on me almost immediately. The UI was very slow and buggy to say the least. I guess I am spoiled by the Palm UI I have been using for quite some time now. I am waiting for Verizon to release a new Palm Treo so I can update my phone.
