Verizon's Motorola Q 9m: First Look

John Biggs 17 years


They’re doing it again. After years of disappointing phones, I can honestly say that I’m excited about the Moto Q 9m. This phone, aimed at the youth market, is primarily a music phone and takes advantage of Verizon’s V Cast music service (*cough $1.99 for tracks cough* WTF? *ahem*) in a package that is far removed from the original Q.

I’ll have a full review in a few hours, but here’s the rundown:

  • 1 megapixel camera with flash
  • New, clever scrollwheel-based front interface
  • Windows Mobile 6, although they have hidden the OS in a very satisfying way
  • Soft touch front and back including odd feeling “barrel keys”
  • Out of the box access to email accounts
  • No out of the box IM clients — for shame, Verizon!
  • Available now online, in stores August 27
  • MiniSD Support include HC for up to 32GB of storage.
