Yeah, Moto Q9M is FINALLY up on VZW's site. And online is definitely the way to get it... $100 discount plus $50 MIR.

Let the smartphone floodgates be opened at long last! lol ๐Ÿ˜

what do you need wifi for when you have Verizon's awesome network for surfing the web at high speeds. haha what joke,that's bs i keep getting from VWS. but mi damn job forces me to carry one around.

Allegedly the Q9m takes a SDIO WiFi card.

And far as the high-speed network goes, hey, it could be a lot worse... you could be on ATT. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

yeah but i am not shelling out more money for wifi, when they could easily offer it to you built in rather than force you to use your network data in hopes you go over and want to upgrade. i have both at&t and verizon, the only thing right now verizon has over my at&t phone is GPS and that works pretty damn good, other than that, I am happy with at&t for my family.

Well, my brother used to have ATT and Verizon. He told me that the only thing Verizon has over ATT is decent CS, much better high-speed data network (edge is slow), and the ability to make a clear call consistently.

Other than that, wowzers, it's all ATT.

/end my brother's sarcasm. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

What is the difference between it and the Q?

I did a comparison and the differences seem to be very minimal

Remember when Q's were on sale for $99.99? They need to bring that back.

I'll sell you one on a new contract if you get the data package for $99.

wonder how locked down it is with having vcast music.
...
chocolateman85006

Aug 22, 2007, 6:30 PM
The site makes no mention of OBEX; therefore, I'd assume: very locked down, as most over Vcast Phones.

I just realized this? 1.3Mp (if it is even 1.3Mp) I think its just 1M as in 1.0Mp. Anyhoo, 1.3Mp are so 2004. Shoe! even 2Mp cameras are so 2006. ๐Ÿ˜• God I love my SE K790a!!!!

I wish it would have a trackball like the Blackberry 8830.

Aug 31, 2007, 3:00 PM
They can only steal one blackberry concept at a time, so it's trackwheel for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰
BTW it does have full bluetooth, and just as much lag time as the first Q.
