I have the Moto Q 9h and tried to install tomtom 6, the same as I have for my ipaq and it will not install. Hope this helps

Look for it mid-November…before Thanksgiving.
Q9h is aimed at business users to compete with BlackBerry devices. Delay is tied to AT&T not having fully baked 3G network in enough markets.

Any word on the new release date for the Q9?

Motorola/AT&T has taken so long I have converted. The Q isn’t even in the same league any more.

Getting the Tilt, probably an unlocked version with the 2 cameras if AT&T or TMobile does not sell it.

Well… The AT&T Q9 is worth looking at. Had my hands on it last week. Thought the interface was similar to the BJack, but with the GPS and upgraded camera it will be a great phone to have. The Tilt is a whole different ball of wax though… Having the WM6 with the Blackberry support and future Good support will be a tough device to pass on. I must admit that if I wasn’t a business user the iPhone would still take the cake. It is the most seamless device I’ve used.

I’m still holding out for the M800! Purely a phone for those who are true business users!

Remember when this would have been the answers to all of our wireless needs?

My local ATT rep called me late last week to say Oct 6-9th was the launch window based on the conference call she had with her regional mgt. I figured the 9th was most likely since it was a Tuesday. So if they are even slipping by one more day its getting to the point of no longer being the must have device.

According to the latest rumor…..
From one store on Madison Ave and one in Jersey City

Oct 10th is the date on the AT&T books.

Good thing I did not hold my breath.

I hope it’s worth the hype.

This does seem very weird, But I guess if we want the best product we can get we will have to wait.

There is actually no solid information to go with on the Q9 Global it is all rumor and speculation folks! The current available MIR on their website is already expired (9/15).

I find it amazing that a product that was announced by Motorola in February takes this long to get to market. It is a red tape world!

By: Tom

Tom — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 03:33:52 +0000

Most stores and AT&T phones sales have no idea.

One store where the sales guy checked his computer told me on Friday to expect it on Tues.

“But it’s AT&T, they like to work all the bugs out, so you never know”

I’m waiting for it, but not holding my breath.

Ok I am so sick and tired of this. How long have they been trying to release this phone! Im really tired of waiting now. I may just crumble and buy a Blackjack or Blackberry!

After speaking with several retail stores, ATT consumer sales department, and ATT Business depatment: The q9 has no release date as of yet. Sorry but there will be no joy on 9/25! Thanks again ATT.

Has there been any update on the 9/25 date since its a few days away. Product would start showing up today or Monday.

As a trusted resource i am telling u…Blackjack 2 is up for release…in December…

By: ppcmd

ppcmd — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 16:26:31 +0000

Have there been any new updates on this? Any AT&T folks who have actually seen inventory moving etc?

By: Jeff B.

Jeff B. — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:01:05 +0000

Well I have a very reliable source that told me it could be out near March of 2008.

@ mike,

What? Blackjack 2? Oh please. Are you trying to start another rumor?

By: Tim

Tim — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:55:50 +0000

The v3xx fire red-chrome is on the website today.

Sweet sweet Duo, thou shalt be mine!

Blackjack 2? They are making another?

By: mike

mike — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 02:35:45 +0000

I doubt AT&T will release a WM6 update for the blackjack. The product is just to old (in the world of wireless).

That, and the Blackjack 2 due before christmas…

@John, sorry but I don’t recall you having any more solid intel that BGR does. Seriously tips come in and go out, and it generates buzz around the product and I for one do not fault BGR or any other quality site for posting it. AT&T could decide tomorrow to change the name again, delay it again or launch it early. Those are all things outside of BGR’s realm of control. No I don’t know anyone here, but I do enjoy the info offered and find it helpful. At least this site (and others) has kept me in the loop that is AT&T’s BS filled word.

That is my $.02

@randy
Me too but that’s never going to come out either.

The guy I just talked to at att said BB 8820 in probably a week. Pantech Duo maybe two weeks.

By: Randy

Randy — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 01:14:28 +0000

@ John

The problem is that at&t et al. Don’t announce anything and pretty much leave it to the internet to speculate. I’m still waiting for the WM6 update for the blackjack.

The Q Global on the 25th? Is this for real?

By: John

John — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:57:59 +0000

I think the valuable lesson learned here is that BG’s sources are usually 99% wrong. If you are waiting for a particular device, just wait until it is offically announced by the carrier and then you won’t be wetting your pants everytime BG posts a new launch date.

By: Jeff B.

Jeff B. — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:26:13 +0000

Well shiiiiit. If the DUO or Q9 comes out before the Tilt then I’m a have some device testin’ to do. Hey, only god knows when att is actually gonna drop some phones.
@The Boy Genius
Att takes so long to actually release their phones that anybody else could’ve come in and stolen the limelight already. It just seems that nobody else can release phones any faster. So we are still stuck in the age old question and praying every night about “when are ____, ______, ______, and _________ going to come out already?”

Well ship date at AT&T change faster than anything Paris wears. This date has been noted by actual stroe employees as well ( not that they can be trusted) but still its not much longer, it’s just a week away.

By: nilch

nilch — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:40:43 +0000

Oh, these dates are worthless untill the damned Q9 (or Global as AT&T calls it) officially comes out and is on on their website at least.

Hell – I have been waiting for the Q9 since Aug 24th – the day BGR repoerted as the official release date initially.
