With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time. Phone Features Downloading music to the Q9m is a snap. Just select the V Cast Music icon using the thumbwheel, browse the catalog of nearly 2 million songs, highlight a song, and press the Buy button. The phone is compatible with a wide range of music files, including MP3, AAC, AAC+, WAV, WMA 9/10, AMR, XMF, and Real. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

Vital Statistics Powered by Windows Mobile 6
With Windows Mobile 6, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations.
All Windows Mobile 6 powered devices include Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server. It also offers a set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way. User Submitted Motorola Q Music 9m Smartphone (Verizon Wireless, Phone Only, No Service) ReviewsDate: 2008-08-14 looks nice but.... Like -size and design Dislike -response speed (slower than any other phone I ever use) -you can not charge the Main Battery from Cigar and USB charger -slow response speed -No GPS -2.5MM headset output -Low camera quality -Small internal memory space I guess this phone is not for business use but good for first smart phone user and kids... Date: 2008-08-04 It does the job for me, most of the time. I don't really use this thing for business purposes. So keep that in mind. Also, it's quite possible that some of these comments/gripes are about Windows Mobile 6.1 and not necessarily about the phone -- but since they come together, they should be considered one product. Here's what I like about the phone. The keyboard is great, with solid tactile feedback on the keys. The backlight on the keys is nice too. The screen is great, and overall the phone looks really slick. The camera is not as good as some, but probably as good or better than most. The speakerphone is probably the best of any phones I've ever had. The reception on this phone is on average, probably at least one bar better than my LG VX8600 when sitting in the same place with the same carrier. I use the email functionality all the time. It may be basic, but it works, and it's useful since I don't have access to my personal email account at work. I also like the quick Contacts feature, where you just type a letter and the phone takes you to Contacts and skips down to the letter. Being able to search for a contact using ANY substring (not just first name or last name, etc) is nice too. Here are some of the problems that have been bothering me. I work in an area with pretty bad reception, so I get this tone pretty frequently that I assume means I have no signal. I've tried to turn it off, but I'm pretty sure the option doesn't exist (I have ALL alerts/warnings turned off in the settings already) unless I switch to Silent mode. Now, I can deal with that, but it is a problem that shouldn't exist. I also use my phone as my alarm clock in the morning. Sometimes, somehow, two instances of the alarm clock app get launched together and the phone tries to belt out two alarms simultaneously. Also not the end of the world, but come on. The phone is slow to respond to input, and clicking "Start" routinely requires a 4 or 5 second wait before a response. Many apps don't have "Exit" built in to their menus, so if you want to quit (not just throw it into the background to slow you down even more) you have to launch the task manager and kill the app manually. That's REALLY bad coding practice, by the way. Every so often I just have to reboot the thing when it locks up, too. I don't use any media functionality, or Docs to Go or anything like that. I know that sounds like a lot of complaints, but I still gave it 4 stars because the phone itself is well built and has a lot of features. It's just that somebody (cough cough) dropped the ball when it came to the operating system. Date: 2008-05-08 Doesn't Support Jawbone Bluetooth headset ?????? This phone does not support the Jawbone bluetooth headset. Isn't Bluetooth a "Standard" ? C'mon M, how can you let the little things slip through the cracks on this one? Also, BB is FAR more user friendly, seems like q9M could have used more UI and UX testing prior to release. Date: 2008-04-02 Great phone when it works I LOVE this phone. So much that I haven't switched to another one but continue to get new ones when they stop working. But this is my 5th one in less than a month. They are very unstable. They will get stuck on a screen and not come back on even after pulling the battery. Back to Verizon Wireless again... Date: 2008-03-22 good not great It would be easy for me to gush over this phone because it is in fact my first smart phone but there are a few small issues with it. As everyone else has mentioned the battery life is lackluster but it works just fine for my needs. It lacks built in wifi and the available mini sd wifi cards are pricey and stick out from the phone. My only other complaint is that the phone is uncomfortable to talk on for long periods of time because the width of it is so much larger than normal phones. This would be a non-issue if you use a bluetooth headset but that would just add to the battery issue. I do love having a mini version of office in my phone. Reading ebooks is great though my eyes get tired staring at the screen. Typing on a bluetooth keyboard works like a charm with this phone. I have a SNES emulator on it that provides hours of entertainment.
