Yesterday, when we reported on the Motorola Q11 images, we mentioned that we had some surprising Q9 news. It turns out that our initial dubious reaction to the Dapper Q9h Silver with Pinstripes wasn't really fair -- we got some hints about it during our hands-on at CTIA and arranged to find ou…
Just when you were ready to hear the end of life rumors concerning the Motorola Q Series come true, someone throws you a curve ball. Verizon Wireless has announced that it will be re-releasing the Motorola Q9c. The re-release brings the company's TALKS feature to the phone. Everything e…
After some gnashing of teeth over whether Sprint had put the Motorola Q9c out to pasture, EverythingQ is reporting that it's back on sale online. No word on why it was removed in the first place, though presumably it was to fix "all of the problems with the phone" that we'd reported on prev…
Weren't we just suggesting that we wanted to see Windows Mobile 6.1 updates this summer? Why, yes, yes we were. Must have been a fiat, because the Motorola Q9c on Sprint has gotten the update today over at Motorola's software update page . Updates are the standard sort of WinMo 6.1 stu…
So as a few of you may know, the Motorola Q Q9c on Sprint is the first Windows Mobile device on that network to have GPS enabled . Interestingly, it appears that the GPS enabled on the device is only set for direct satellite connections--there are no connections to Sprint’s aGPS assista…
We heard yesterday from Everything Q that the Verizon Q9c would be hitting today, a full week earlier than previously expected. Seems to be the case, as heading over to Verizon's site shows the Q9c as available for $199 after contract and discounts and whatnot. If anybody picks one of th…
Update: Yeah, so it's also available in Black, er, Licorice as well. Serves us right trying to post a story during a 20 minute layover. Sorry there. Please disregard the catty comments about color availability below. Engadget Mobile is reporting the only good Motorola news we've heard…
The Motorola Q9h is clearly an improvement over its precedessor, the Motorola Q. It's more than just an “improvement,” though, it's an incredible improvement. Motorola has replaced what I considered to be probably the worst Windows Mobile Smartphone on the market with a model tha…
Luke just shot us an email about a very strange text he just received from Verizon regarding his Q9c: FREE VZW MSG. Improve your Q! Simple, one-time fix prevents issue that may affect your Q9c. Go to http://www.motorola.com/q9cfix on your PC for details. So we dutifully went over to th…
Verizon has tossed up 2 more Windows Mobile devices on the eve of the full CTIA: the Motorola Q9c and the XV6900. They'll cost you $249.99 and $349.99 respectively . The differences between the Q9c and the Q9…
The Boy Genius has scored a Sprint deathlist, with a couple of Windows Mobile phones slated to be EOL'd – that's end of life – in the coming months.The Motorola Q9c is on the chopping block, with its execution date set for mid-June. No replacement is noted.Also on the list is the HTC Touch…
It's not enough the that Verizon Motorla Q9c has replaced the Q9m, now it has to parade the fact that it's just gotten the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1. Go download it. Now that the Q9c on Verizon has joined the Q9c on Sprint in Windows Mobile 6.1 land, are there any other major stragglers l…
Cellpassion caught the above info over at the Bluetooth SIG site . Yes, folks, yet another entrant for the title of “What exactly is the Mystery Q?” Of course, current speculation is centered on the leaked Motorola Atila and Motorola Alexander -- both of which are decent enough bu…
Sure, the Motorola Q11 isn't going to rock your world anytime soon , but it's worth one last look. If Moto really is serious about getting out of the Windows Mobile business, we need to get as much of their front-facing QWERTY goodness in front of us as we can. The Q11, as you may r…
Ask and ye shall receive, Sunshine. ...That's a real user name, we're not just being flip. Ok, we're being a little flip. Listen in for a 15 minute discussion comparing the Morotola Q9h . Better yet, leave us a voicemail: 866-904-5882 x222…
The Snap . Running Windows Mobile Standard 6.1, the phone packs quite the punch in terms of specs and features HTC’s new offset QWERTY keyboard, meant to mimic a real desktop keyboard. After three weeks of using the device and putting it through the works, we have our verdict. Read…
We snagged a few hands-on pics with the Lime Green Moto Q9c is that the Q10 we spied in a Moto promotional video is nowhere to be seen. Looks like the Q9h is still the cream of the Moto GSM crop for the time being - the fact that Microsoft confirmed that it would get a Windows Mobile 6.1…
Ok. So Ive been running around like crazy, support calls between Verizon and Motorola..and about to add in Microsoft. All about this darn Verizon Q9c and my inability to access the built-in GPS like my Sprint Brethren. According to Motorola, under the hood they have identical hardware , and t…
Have you tried contacting Motorola? ,Hi all, i was wondering if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction. I have the Q9c and it still has 6.0 on it, when i tried to upgrade to 6.1, the program said my phone was out of warranty and is not allowed to upgrade. Is there a way aroun…
We've had a mess of Verizon rumors in the past couple of weeks, so let's get clear on what's coming from them Windows Mobile-wise. Fortunately, we have a nice way to do that courtesy of phoneArena, who snagged some internal documents from the big V. Release dates for all these devices have be…
I've looked all over for this same fix. I have had a Q has stopped responding. I'm not even sure how I'd set that font as the display font should I ever be able to get it into the phone! Music and picture files drag-and-drop onto the phone without any problem whatsoever! If anyone could hel…
In the music business, an album "goes platinum" once it's sold 1 million copies. In the cell phone business, well, let's just say we don't expect HTC to be rapping about how many Touch Diamonds it's moved. During CES last month, MobileJaw got some face time with Windows Mobile Senior Produc…
A few weeks we reported on HTC's leaked lineup that included more devices than you could shake a stick at. And one of the devices listed on HTC's lineup has been making a few appearances. The phone codenamed "Cedar" is a front-facing QWERTY keyboard device that by all indications will be a…
I have a Moto Q9c on Sprint. What happens is every two months, all of a sudden one day my phone starts going psycho on me. It gets crazy slow and freezes up all the time. It will literally take a minute or more for it to even register a button press and execute the command. When I type messages,…
Today we're wrapping up the Smartphone Round Robin for good. Well, except for my own personal “bonus round” with the Nokia N95 ...and a later “which smartphone is right for me?” article at the main Round Robin site ...and we'll also be on the Mobile Computing Authority podcast next…
Sprint has the Press Release directing you to head over to http://www.samsungmobileusa.com/i325/upgrade/ to get yourself the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for your Samsung Ace. You'll also get yourself some cool GPS action too, though we don't know yet if it's tied to Sprint Navigation or open…
Sneaking into the show floor before the show starts is a time honored tradition. Popular enough that, thus far anyway, the folks here know enough not to put their secret stuff out yet. Still, we managed to sneak this pic of the Moto Q9c in green. It actually looks very nice and glossy in p…
The Verizon HTC Ozone is the answer to the aging Motorola Q9 series and fits in nicely with Verizon's revamped and full-featured Windows Mobile lineup. The phone is a sister device to the HTC Snap but differs from that model in significant and beneficial ways. I've had the chance to use…
Vertical or not to be vertical? That is the question and Covertec might have the answer in their Covertec Vertical Premium Case. I’m more of a horizontal kinda guy but some will prefer the “straight up and down” appearance of a vertical case. The problems I see with vertical cases is…
Tuesday was a big big day at Smartphone Experts. Not only did we have comprehensive coverage of the new iPhone 3.0 software announcement at The iPhone Blog, over at CrackBerry.com we had one of the very first hands-on with the BlackBerry "Niagara" 9630. If you add in late developments lik…
Go getcher Firmware update for the Motorola Q9m, which may or may not offer anything you care about, the information is murky at best: The Q9m update upgrades the Windows Mobile 6 version from AKU 0.2 to AKU 0.6. The updated radio firmware version stands at 03.20.29P. It is not clear a…
WMExperts reader Anthony loved his Windows phone. And, truth be told, he still has love for the platform. So when he jumped ship to BlackBerry, he just had to let us know why.So after the break, a round robin from Anthony, just a regular guy. To be honest, I never expected nor wanted to b…
OK. We admit it. We've done our share of dog-cussing Sprint. Some of that abuse has been deserved. Some of it maybe has just been piling on. But you've gotta admit, Sprint's been trying real hard of late. The Centro was a bit hit. The "Simply Everything" plans, well, simpilified things, and t…
Qik has been on select Windows Mobile devices for awhile now, but the beta has been opened up for everybody without the need for an invite. You can check it out at http://qik.com, but be warned it might just start playing video automatically . Qik currently only works with a few Windows Mob…
Those of you who have come up from the PalmOS to Windows Mobile have probably heard of Kinoma's Player, which combines a comprehensive mobile media guide with a player that supports a wide range of codecs -- think of it as SprintTV plus Podcacher plus YouTube plus flickr streamer plus musi…
Yep, it's Turkey Day here in the US, but we figure our cute Smartphone Round Robin mascot is close enough to a turkey to count. Plus, it gives us chance to point out the great back and forth between iPhone Mike and Treo Jennifer on the venerable Treo 680. You won't see another post up her…
See that in the title - apparently it's not cool to put a space after the word "black" anymore. Anyhow - the update to the Blackjack is supposed to land on AT&T's shores November 21st, the same day as the Motorola Q9c hits Sprint. The Blackjack II is essentially just a refresh of the ori…
i also posted this over at sprintusers, as BrettW this is from developer.sprint.com you can find it by signing in, going to the forum, and looking in the windows mobile section, i am also known as BrettW over there, you can see the question i asked in response to one of the ADPs posts about…
I just realized I never did an "introduction" post, even though I've been a member since.... 2011? Anyways, I'm James from California. I'm a long time Microsoft fan and product user. I was raised on MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. My first computer was an IBM XT that my dad got at a garage sale . Fi…

A few times on my line in the past I have changed from the EVO to the Motorola Q9c and the 10.00 pre. data charge removed so the rep said. I was wondering if I change again on that line will it fall off again or is this device going to require it?…
have you turned off advanced network functionality? Settings > Connections > USB to PC > UNCHECK that box. Other than that, try updating to SP3 . ,Windows Pro SP2 Dell Latitude D600, two functioning laptop USB2 ports ActiveSync 4.5 My MotQ9c won't sync using either built in USB2 ports…
Hi. I updated my Moto Q9C to the VZW wm6.1 and would like to know if there is a way to go back to Alltel 6.0 or if someone knows where I can get the file myself. I cannot use the Motorola updater. Thanks for all you help , Flashing to VRZ 6.1 and _MSS_Files_and _Settings.rar ,Go here to get…
Hadn't handled the Snap yet or the Napoleon for that matter. For me the best WM Standard phone is the Motorola Q9h. Add the build quality, signal strength and battery lifespan to the Jack and it would be hard to beat. Who knows the Snap might just do that. ,OK - I am just posting because ... i…
