I've had it for a few years from verizon. Had the regular Q then migrated to the Q9m then Q9c.<br /><br />I've had the Q9 series on both phones replaced several times due to soft keys making popping noises after a month of owning it. <br /><br />Another issue with this phone is the lag/freezing especially while trying to take a picture it will never be a quick shot with this phone. by the time the picture is taken you see nothing but motion blur. I've been to the everythingq site and done the hacks and it does not fix the issues. Windows Mobile 6.0 - 6.1 will always be a laggy freezing OS until these manufactures figure out that more processing speed and ram is needed to make the OS run efficiently. <br /><br />Another issue i have with this phone is the speakers "stereo speakers" they sound great and makes music and anything audio sound good quality without hearing cracking noises in the speakers but eventually you will hear it and the volume level for both media and ring tones isn't very loud as most phones today are. <br /><br />All in all it's been a good phone despite the problems it does have. Motorola and the rest of these companies needs to make phones with better speed and ram and more internal memory to make these phones great and the customers will keep buying from them and not losing money on exchanges because they want to save money on making them.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1281 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=34393#review34393 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=34393#review34393 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:29:01 GMT <p><i>whoswanda submitted this review of the Motorola Q9m / Q9c:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had the device six months and had no issues. I use it for business, mostly for email from exchange server. Since I've not used a touch screen phone, don't miss it.<br /><br />Pros: good touch to key board; easy to set up and navigate; love being able to update contacts, calendars &amp; email straight from the server w/o having to sync.<br /><br />Cons: wish battery would last more than 24 hours<br /><br />I've found that if I turn it off an a regular basis I don't have any problems with freezing or locking up. Seems most people never turn off their devices, and really it's like a mini- pc and needs to be rebooted.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1281 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=33204#review33204 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=33204#review33204 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:09:17 GMT <p><i>mystikalkat submitted this review of the Motorola Q9m / Q9c:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had to have mine replaced once so far. It continually locked up and had to remove battery to restart. My new one has shut it self off 3 times for no reason. And now my internal memory is full and the only extra on it is my Google maps.

It's all in how the phone is used or the settings with regards to Text Messaging.<br />Fix the problem and you might actually like this phone. <br /><br />Those that experience these problems most likely have their text messaging settings set-up to memorize words/phrases.

The applications work all well and dandy until about a month of having the phone. It just seems that the phone wanted to stop. The battery life is horrible and the speakers on the back have quit. It tends to stop vibrating at times and you cant have a custom ringtone as your text MSG, because it just continues to play the whole thing no matter if you pick it up or not. Also when I'm typing MSG my phone cannot keep up with my typing ill press send with it not even half way typed. I think that this phone is a piece and should never be used by anyone thats my personal opinion, but others may thing other wise. My opinion i can have it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1281 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=32413#review32413 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=32413#review32413 Sat, 27 Dec 2008 04:04:26 GMT <p><i>Devon13yr submitted this review of the Motorola Q9m / Q9c:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I like the phone, its a little confusing though.

I find other reviews quite harsh actually! I haven't had any problems with my Q9c, the only draw back I have found yet is with the texting. I guess I just type on it too fast for it to keep up.

It lagged the time didn't update I couldn't hear anything when making or receiving phone calls. Text messages were out of the question. I could receive email but not send them. Taking the battery out only unfroze it long enough to restart. I was lucky enough to get a disk cleaning program on it and run it, along with a ram free up. The these along with a soft restart fixed my phone for five minutes. So I replaced it through sprint insurance because that was my only option. After a 50$ deductible and 3 month I am having the same problems. I have done research on the web and multiple people have the exact dame problems this phone is a defective piece of crap and I am currently fight with sprint to give me a new phone. Cause this this is a 300$ piece of crap.

Slower than a pack of grannies with broken hips, even the simplest of functions such as the calculator take over a minute to complete. trying to make a phone call, i type in the first number and that alone takes 30-40 seconds to even appear on the screen.<br /><br />The entire reason the device was created, to call another telephone, barely even works half the time. i type in a number, press the green send button, and it just looks at me like a confused three year old with a particle physics textbook, "what am i supposed to do with this?!" <br /><br />Texting, oh boy. every single text i send frustrates me eve more. after the first few characters, the rest of the characters disappear into "motorola fairy land" and by that i mean i'm typing them, and they are there, i just can't see them anymore. (motor ) see, annoying isn't it?<br /><br />I've been told to go to motorola or verizon's tech support, which i have. both of which told me that the phone is operating just fine and nothing is wrong with it. so apparently motorola has sought to create a phone who's sole purpose is to breed a level of anger never seen by man, one capable of tearing the universe in half. they have succeeded, hold on everyone, this is gonna be a bumpy ride.<br /><br />if you're looking to buy this phone or anything else made my motorola, do yourself a favor, RUN. run as fast as you can and as far as you can. when you think you can't run anymore, when you think your legs are gonna fall off and your lungs are going to jump out of your chest, run 10 more feet. hopefully you will find yourself in the happy and gleeful lands of LG or Blackberry.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1281 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=31636#review31636 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=31636#review31636 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:42:07 GMT <p><i>kyamcg submitted this review of the Motorola Q9m / Q9c:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had the Verizon Q9m since before spring break, and it is a pretty nice phone.

I wasn't interested in a blackberry so this was the perfect fit for me. However I had to take this phone back 3 times because the phone froze up. Yes, 3 times. When the phone worked, it was great. It worked for 1 day the first time...4 days the 2nd time &amp; for a month &amp; a half the 3rd time. Verizon said that the problem was due to software, but 3 times with one user seems more than small problem.

The ONLY difference between the q9m and the q9c is that the q9c has GPS capability.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Windows OS 6 provides a good collection of program options for whatever your needs are.<br />-Laptop tether option is great for getting internet on your laptop wherever there is not Wi-Fi (also makes it so you don't have to buy an aircard, just use your phone for the modem instead).<br />-I got a Nintendo emulator to work on it, as well as Doom... Yay!<br />-Syncs with your Outlook through the net for awesome features keeping your email, contacts, and tasks the same on your PC and phone, provided you have an exchange server.<br />I think the keyboard is good, but someone with non-dexterous fingers may disagree.<br />-Phone automatically splits TXTs into multiple messages if they get too big.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-When you get a bunch of apps running, you must call up the task manager to quit them. (There should be a way to close the apps while you are in them)<br />-If you are running an exchange server with a self made security certificate (non-Verisign etc.), you must export it from your server and import it into the phone in order to sync.<br />-Verizon has no upgrade for Windows Mobile to 6.1, which fixes some of the annoyances of the 6.0 OS.<br />-You can't make gmail, hotmail, yahoo etc. your main email that shows up on the home screen.<br />-Texting could be threaded.<br />-Video Capabilities are limited to 15fps<br /><br /><br />I may add more to this post later, if that is possible.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1281 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=30215#review30215 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1281&r=30215#review30215 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:37:07 GMT <p><i>z8206 submitted this review of the Motorola Q9m / Q9c:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros: Does as advertised, except.<br /><br />Cons: Bad experience!
