Motorola Q9m / Q9c

For the love of god, can verizon just make an all black phone! It's a phone for business users...you dont need a bright red border around the damn thing. it looks ridiculous. sorry for the rant...carry on...

I had a treo way back in the way and they had Aol instant messenger (along with like yahoo and msn) that you could download for like 15 bucks or something. does anyone know if the q has that as well? or is there a version of AIM for windows mobile 6 ??


please let me know


thanks everyone

Can the Opera web browser be downloaded to the Q9M? If so, what are the advantages over IE? Is it faster? Thanks.

How is the battery life on this phone? If I program it to retrieve email every 15 minutes....will the battery last a full day?

i use facebook a good amount, and when i first got the phone i was able to go the a certain facebook login page (not the first one but a different one) type in my user name and password, and log in...now when i press login it does a little dance, then stops loading and the login button is deactivated. Does anyknow know of another browser to load onto this phone or what the proble might be? it's so wierd that it just stopped working. thanks in adavance

Can anyone tell me it the q9m has threaded text messages?

yeah man so forget this q9m business man cuz sprints is getting q9c with world calls and stuff. better speeds. i dont care wat nobody say.

the curve is definatly NOT coming to verizon in 2007. you may see a bb pearl out this year if everything goes well, but again THE CURVE WILL NOT BE ON VERIZON 2007.

😁 Simply put... this is a disaster 👿 in the making. Nothing good can come from this. Wait for the 6800 ( the TITAN ) ... seriously.

Do i have to get a data plan with this phone. Or can i just get the $5 web plan for wap sites.

Its not worth it for me unless thats possible. I have the u740 with qerty keyboard right now.

Just saw a video preview of the Q9m at

and then went to VZW.com to verify. It looks like DataViz Documents-To-Go is installed on this phone. Doesn't Office Mobile come with WM6 (standard and pro)? Why would the Q9m have a third party application for Office products? Not that I'm complaining, if this is a better product than the native version, then that's good for everyone. I'm just curious as to why....

I tested this today in the local Verizon store. The internet is incredibly slow for EVDO. I do not not know why..maybe its the browser or maybe its the fact that it loads full web versions and not the WAP versions of the pages. In any event..unless that is somehow changed, or if there are settings one can use to speed it up, it would be a show stopper for me.

While in the store I actually compared the internet speed to my LG vx8600 and the palm treo and it was a lot slower than both of those.

Its going to be in verizon stores Sept 11!!! Its going to be $249 before the $50 rebate.

I was just curious how it functions with a wifi card.

I currently have the Q and am very happy with it but it is over a year old and is starting to freeze a little bit every few days. I was waiting to upgrade to this phone but it does not really seem like an upgrade other than going from Windows Mobile 5.0 to 6.0. It does not have Wifi and does not appear to be upgradeable to EVDO Rev. A. Plus, I am eligible for an upgrade but not new every 2 so the phone would be $349.99 and there was no online discount available to me - it may only be available to new customers as Verizon always tries to give better deals to new subscribers instead of loyal customers who have been with them for about 7 years. I am just disappointed because it just does not appear to be worth it to upgrade to this phone fr...

Anyone have slight hissing and interference noises every so often on any of your calls? It happens every so often seems like it is getting interference from the battery or something in the phone is causing it.....thanks.

I've had my original Q since August 2006. When I first bought it, I did the registry tweaks from quser/howardsforum, added a few cool themes and been very happy over the past year, except for battery life. Turning off "accept incoming beams" and adjusting display timeout, etc helped and I used to get about 3 days out of the standard battery. It was extremely rare for me to experience any crashes or have to reboot as some people have written.

When I dumped my work Blackberry and started using Activesync for work Exchange email and added Hotmail syncing, the battery life was hit very hard. With the extended battery, If I didn't charge it nightly, it would be dead by morning.

When the new Q9m came out, I was interested in giving it ...

My company pays for my phone so I don't really care about price. I'm trying to decide on the new Q v. Treo v. LG Env. I don't care about editing or even reading documents but want great email, fast internet and good picture clarity. What's the best Verizon phone for me? I'm not sure I need the size of a PDA. It seems like Treo is the best PDA though.

Way to slow for me. Windows mobile is limited compared to s60 phones. Ive been fiddling with my friends 755p and i like it much better. It has a fster processor higher resolution, and the palm os is better than windows mobile, atleast for me.

I sure wish there was a wap hack for these smartphones.
