Motorola Q9c Review

Got the chance to play with the newly released Motorola Q9c. I say newly released, because a music version has been available from Verizon for a few months now, but this is the business class verson launched through SprintNextel on Nov 23rd.

This device exceeded my expectations. This is due, in part, because I had pretty low expectations; mainly because of the fact that the new version of the Q has a new OS, but no increase in internal memory or RAM; both still at 64 MB. The HTC touch has 128 MB of ram, 256 of internal memory and a higher than 400 mhz processor in it. Where the Q was left at the same memory and processor power. Also i was a little dissapointed that while other manufactuors are siezing opprotunitys to upgrade the mini sd capabilities, the new Q still only supports up to 2 GB, where as the HTC Touch supports up to 8 GB. That being said I was pleasantly suprised.

Here are the highlights:
Active GPS with navigation, no need to purchas optional blueooth puck. The device performed live GPS Navigation through the speaker. It was very sensitive, even moving the icon as i waved the phone arround.

Sprint TV siupport, you can watch live TV on your phone.

Inhanced PIM in mobil 6 supports better calander and task and memo support

Better memory management lists large memory hoging software with a delete option.

Great preloaded IM client with preset support for AIM, Yahoo & WIndows/MSN.

Phone comes out of the box with extended life battery.

New keyboard is made of a better material and laid out better than previous version.

All in all good phone. Yet to be seen how it will react when laden with 3rd party sotware. Owever not as much need because of the pre loaded apps.

Ill give it a 3 out of 5 stars. ***
