Motorola is one of the foremost innovator in the field of communication and a major mobile phone manufacturing unit. However, the global giant don not have a strong portfolio when it comes to PDA styled smartphones. While other major manufacturers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson and even lesser known brands like HTC are making most of the rising demands of the business niche, Motorola seems to be quite content with its fashion centric solutions. However, with the launch of the Motorola Q9 – a new Q series phone, the company has sent in strong signals to its competitors.
The Virgin Mobile Motorola Q9 is a PDA styled phone that features a massive 2.4 inch, TFT based screen with a full QWERTY keypad. The 65k colour rich display produces images with amazing clarity across its 320 x 240 pixels. Below the screen, there is a 5-way navigation button for quick navigation through the handset's highly intuitive user menu. The Motorola Q9 is exceptionally slim for a PDA, measuring just 11.8 mm in thickness. Its weight of 134 grams can be regarded as featherweight considering the Motorola Q9 is a 3G enabled Windows Mobile 6.0 handset.
Like any other Window Mobile device, the Motorola Q9 includes all important Microsoft applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The device has about 96 Mb RAM and another 256 Mb Flash memory. If your needs are more than this, you may opt for a microSD memory card. HSDPA technology for 3.5G connectivity, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth, USB – connecting and exchange of information has never been so fun and easy. You might as well download a few of your favourite tracks to the Motorola Q9 and listen to them when you want to relax or just plain bored while commuting from work to office. The handset even features a 2.0 megapixel camera with integrated flash for quick capture and even quicker share!
