I wouldn’t let this phone or WM6 suck my balls.

I have the q9h w/WM6 and there doesn’t appear to be an upgrade coming in my future anytime soon. My company also has ‘Good Messaging’ installed (security, corp mail, etc.) and between the fucker running WM6 and this ‘Good’ shit it can take 2+ minutes from power-on to usability.

Oh, and the battery life totally blows. Even with the extended battery I have to turn off just about every feature that could possibly use the radio to get more than a day of standby out of this.

While WM6 may be responsible for the really shitty battery life, it doesn’t account for the fucked-up USB charging ability — or should I say, ‘lack thereof’. If the battery falls below 2/3 you better have your wall charger around because having it plugged into the USB port on your computer only prolongs the inevitable: dead battery. I doubt it was a problem with this particular phone as this problem affected both this one and the one it replaced (it was stolen in Lisbon).

Oh, and as for WM, nice to see it hasn’t evolved any since my Dell Axim x50v from a couple of years ago. Doing ANYTHING requires a huge wait time as the app loads and god forbid you run any other app at the same time. I love how I can start IE, use the calculator and TRY to come back to IE but, oh noes! too late! IE has closed and you need to launch again. Fucktard of an OS. I’d rather run Symbian; it’s not Windows but it fucking works.

WM sucks balls in any incarnation.

Pom: Don’t tell people to “fuck off” then you won’t take heat. It’s uncalled for. You should only say things like that to a man’s face so he can pound your bitch ass into the ground. Name calling on the net just let’s everyone know what a puss you must be in real life. So, to sum up: WM and POM suck balls.

Ugly phone. I have WM 6.1 and all I can say is that it’s better than 6.0 but it still sucks.

What Kool-Aid is Ryan drinking??? And why didn’t he tell the other person who said the same thing that I did to “Fuck Off”?

Nice. Real Nice.

@P51…. 6.1 for Tilt is coming. Soon. Real soon.

Wait. There are 2 Conrads? I never even saw this other Conrad post before.

@ Joshua K or the other Conrad:

Since the Bold isn’t coming to AT & T this year, how does this phone with the 6.1 + BlackBerry connect compare with the Curve?

I had an original Q back in the day. Horrible battery life. Glad this is better.

LFerguson, the Q9c is back on Sprint’s website, now with WinMo 6.1 preinstalled.

I have a question for anyone that can answer…This phone says it has blackberry connect, when you download the BB connect, does it give you an option to do a “enterprise activation, just like the BB does in the advanced options menu? That is the only way I can access corp email, I need to type in my email and a password given to me by my IT dept. Anyone that knows, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Still no Wifi? No thank you…

It still has windows mobile, so it still sucks

I have one of these in my possession, there is no difference from the Q9h that Att currently carries other than the color. 6.1 is definitely a nice upgrade and Im currently running BB connect so my battery life is awesome.

@Josh

The 6.1 update for the Tilt is actually not out yet. The file download on the page you linked to still is the old Tilt ROM (not 6.1).

Uh….no, the battery life is fine on the Q9h, especially after the WM 6.1 upgrade.

I wonder if this one has wi-fi like the other ones BGR had i sure hope so.That would make a great phone even better.

And still those of us who use the HTC tilt (HTC Kaiser/8925) are left waiting if/when at&t gets of their butts and releases 6.1 for our device.

this is a sick phone… i love 6.1 and the silver is pretty sweet. THANKS BG for posting the pic… sorry for it being so blurry… iPhone cam sucks balls

I like this one more. It looks nice in gray.

Ryan – um, that’s real personal.

I’m pretty disappointed that they pulled the Q9c off of sprint’s website. I have one now with 6.1 and it’s just as good if not better than a blackberry.

Exchange email + extended battery + pretty decent browner = Sprint FTW!

Pom,

Fuck off and mind your own business

Nothing different other than pre-shipped with 6.1 and the color.

That’s one clean looking phone. Although the silver makes the screen look kinda small.
