If you look at the list of phones in that detail I found and the interesting item is the dates range from 8/19- 9/15 so its somewhere in there.

Someone said:

“Why can’t SOMEONE just release the ultimate phone: fast processor, great camera, 3g, WiFi, and GPS.”

Try the Fujitsu-Siemens T830, Nokia N95, or one of the new HTC devices running Windows Mobile 6.0 – they have all of those features.

Thanks,

Sam

Interesting how the Q9 GMS and Q9M have very different keyboards. Take a look at what the secondary key options on between the two when you press the num lock. Glad I’m dumping Verizon for ATT, the Q9m is freaking ugly, no way I want to show that off, no way.

why cant we get a device that does blackberry email, looks and functions like an iphone, and is compatible with slingbox..and fits in my pocket – preferably with verizon…

The reason would be VERIZON itself (a.k.a. the most detestable company in America). They would never make a phone like that. It would require that they open up their phones and let them do what their manufacturers intended them to. This is a no-no at Verizon, where they f***-up their phones with their ugly, clumsy, and slow user-interface. All so that their poorly-trained tech support staff has to know only one menu.

I’ve have the Q currently w/ verizon and would like 2 try out the new q9h. Their isn’t any other phone that verizon offers that i would switch 2. Tried the Treo 700wx, takes too many steps to get where u want 2 go & the Q form factor and qwerty have a better feel 1 or 2 handed. As a stand alone phone, the Q isn’t my first choice. It’s a great tool if you have unlimited data and need to go online frequently.

I wouldn’t say the Moto Q9 is huge at all. It is a bit wider than the Blackjack but a bit shorter than the blackjack. [url= http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=88282

thanks for the comparison pics. the q9 is bigger than i thought. it looks about the same size as the 8800 and that device feels big these days vs the blackjack and curve.

Intriguing device I must say but not intriguing enough to take me away from the Blackberry Curve…not gonna happen! The iPhone on the other hand does have some potential but we’ll find out next month.

Nice device, although the device still looks like it need better battery life or has this improved.

Heard Verizon is going to release the Prada phone to compete with the iphone. Is this true, BG?!?! gag me! I don’t want that waste of space! How about the new Pearl for Verizon?? Any gossip on what Verizon is going to drop to challenge the iphone… and of course, when!?

Thanks!

The screen shots of the display look really pixelated – what is the resolution of the display?
Also, nice to see the comparison with the 8800 – they look like peas in a pod. Seems like someone’s been “borrowing” IDs…

What kills me about the original Q is the QCELP audio codec used in 3GPP2 video. The video taken on these phones can’t even be played back on Windows Media Player. Motorola tells people to download QuickTime. Worse is *anyone* on a non-CDMA phone won’t be able to view your videos. Completely non-standard *and* inferior technology compared to the 3GP standards you see on the GSM based networks. Complete garbage.

The GSM version appears to be quite superior. One day Qualcomm CDMA will go away…

Motorola uses J2ME currently on all there Asia and North American phones that require it I believe. It’s pretty much the standard right now with phones whether linux based like my ROKR E6 or Windows based like my buddies Blackjack.

Did you try out any Java programs on it? The MotoDev site says that it will run J2ME apps out of the box. I’m curious about its Java support.

i have a question about the upcoming htc devices. like the vox/ s710, cavalier, and the kaiser. for these devices are you going to need a computer that runs windows vista.

If only this phone didn’t run on windows mobile, it would be the perfect device. I absolutely hate windows mobile, tiring and cumbersome. Sigh…maybe some day.

After using my Motorola Q for almost a year, I’m not sure I’d go with a Motorola Smartphone again due to the reliability and quality issues.

Very nice looking, though a little big. Got any specs? Looks like a 2MP camera from the picture, but what about the processor? The Q already had a pretty quick one, but I’m hoping they’ve beefed it up to 400MHz+ with this. And I know this is wishful thinking, but you haven’t found anything indicating built-in GPS have you?

Why can’t SOMEONE just release the ultimate phone: fast processor, great camera, 3g, WiFi, and GPS.

I will trade you my blackjack and $200 for that…maybe…please…just give it some thought. O and the blackjack is brand spankin’ new. Think about it and lemme know.

Either BG is “stealing” these phones straight from distribution centers or works for CTI Miami and NYC. What the hell are you getting next the BBerry 99XX, I wouldn’t be suprised.

Shoutout to CTI

Yes it definitely supports voice and data simultaneously…

By: Chris

BG, since this is UMTS/HSDPA will the implementation on the at&t network support simultaneous voice/data? This seems to be implied in most conversation about the technology but is it also network and/or device dependent? Thanks for the education / clarification in advance.

With phones like the Curve, iPhone and now Q9h being released from AT&T – this last few months of 2007 will be very tough for AT&T customers to chose which phone they like the best. Someone might get the Curve within this week. Than in 3 weeks, the iPhone is released so they return the Curve and get the iPhone. Q9h is released later down the road, they return the iPhone and get Q9h (highly doubt that will happen but it IS possibilty). Choices, choices, choices…
