Motorola Q9c
With similar styling to the MOTORAZR, the Motorola Q9c is a Windows Mobile 6 Smart phone, and is the second generation Motorola Q. It was out in the market in November 2007 and has been hailed for being a more ergonomic version of the Q series. Basically, the slim Q9c is a big improvement of the earlier phones of its line.
The phone itself embodies a sophisticated slick appearance, sporting a black casing with nice chrome accent, and incorporates a slim dimension of 4.61 x 2.56 x 0.47 inches, Q9c weighs 135 grams. It doesn’t have a touch screen unlike other smart phones in the market, featuring a full QWERTY keypad instead, as well as side keys. It also includes a 2.5 mm headset jack for those who prefer accepting calls via the headset and microphone. The life of its Lithium Ion battery is somewhat impressive, with 212 hours of standby time and 4.5 hours of talk time. It also has an internal antenna.
The TFT LCD-type display boasts a 16-bit 65,536 colors and has a resolution of 320×240 pixels. The camera is able to take 1.3 mega-pixels photos and also includes an LED flash. In addition, it can also capture videos with 30 seconds the maximum length. Qc9 is also enabled with video streaming.

It includes a music player which supports MP3, AAX, AAC+, WAV, XMF and Real formats and an external speaker. Application in Q9c enables its users to view and edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents via the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite. Other essential business features included in the Qc9 are the following: calendar, contacts, to-do list, alarm, calculator, voice recorder, and task and memory managers.

However, these services aren’t free and will require you to subscribe at $20 per month if you want to avail the service.
Just like other smart phones, it is Bluetooth and GPS enabled. The former wireless connectivity option can be used with mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets, objects exchange, file sharing and dial-up networking. The latter one can turn the phone into a handheld navigator which is very usable during business trips and other travels. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t have an integrated WiFi, although one can attach a miniSD Wi-Fi card.
Although the phone has been praised by critics and ordinary users alike, the phone has been quite stashed out by the bulky extended battery and its stiff keyboard. With such minor glitches, the phone is still highly recommendable for its impressive performances.
