Review summary: Can Motorola's Q9 compete is a crowded smartphone market?

Verdict: The Q9 is a bit on the large side for my taste, and while its keyboard is very good the screen is a bit small. Aside from the fact that it is hampered by the lack of Wi-Fi it does its job well.

Review summary: - Email on the go was once just reserved for busy bee workers unable to switch off, now it seems we all want to check our emails on the go. Well that's what Motorola is hoping with the launch of the latest edition of its popular (Stateside) Q handset.

Pros: Screen, keyboard, hot swappable memory card, HSDPA

Cons: Windows Mobile 6, large

Verdict: Some nice features, but a large design for a consumer focused handset
