Motorola MOTO Q9h - Expert Reviews

Review summary: We get our hands on AT&T's first Q, the Q9h Global, with speedy HSDPA networking and a great keybaord. Is this the Q to take on a world tour?

Pros: Very comfortable keys. Fast networking. Great scheduling and productivity. Opera is a better choice than Internet Explorer.

Cons: Big, boxy and bulky, especially with the extended battery. No clickwheel. OS is a bit sluggish. GPS almost never worked properly.

Review summary: The Motorola Q 9H - also known as the MOTO Q Global - targets the international traveller who wants to be productive and enjoy multimedia with a Windows Mobile handheld. Unfortunately, this Motorola mobile phone falls a bit short on data connectivity ...

Verdict: Overall, the Moto Q Global, or Motorola Q 9H, might appeal to travellers seeking a Windows Mobile smartphone with a good keyboard, 3G data, and solid multimedia support.

Review summary: We go a long way back with Motorola smartphones. From the MPx200, the little phone that introduced the world to Windows Mobile Smartphones in clamshell format back in early 2004 to the MPx220, the more feature-rich but bug-laden update that we ...

Pros: Slim, great keyboard, plenty of flash storage and RAM, supports SDHC microSD cards (large capacity cards), fast HSPDA, has GPS that works with both the bundled TeleNav and 3rd party navigation and mapping applications, excellent software bundle. Plays ...

Cons: GPS is slow to get a first fix and TeleNav complains about signal strength under open skies, though this hasn't effected GPS performance so far. We wish there were a way to remove the XPress Mail item from the home screen without using a registry ...

Verdict: and 8820. The keyboard is one of the best we've used, the camera is decent and HSDPA performance as well as call quality are excellent. We like that the extended battery is included in the box, and we're not too down on the Q9's battery life overall. ...

Review summary: The Motorola Q 9h seems an interesting offer if you’re after a smartphone. There’s no stylus, nor touchscreen, and neither is likely to be missed. In return you get a full QWERTY keypad, almost complete data equipment and Windows Mobile 6...

Pros: UMTS including HSDPA ; 512MB microSD card in the package ; quality construction ; perfect keyboard

Cons: no WiFi ; system connector ; middling camera

Verdict: The Motorola Q9h has probably changed its name more times than Cher did facelifts. Interestingly enough, it's still the same handset. The only exception is the Motorola Q9 Global sold exclusively by AT&T in US. It has one tiny difference and that is ...
