User Submitted Motorola Q Music 9m Smartphone (Verizon Wireless, Phone Only, No Service) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-13 Great Smart Phone - No Complaints Provide great tools on top of the solid phone, plays music and stores a lot of pictures. I bought this just couple of weeks back, and initially also bought the insurance since I wasnt sure if this is going to last long. Its a great phone actually, much better quality than earlier Qs and Windows Mobile adds a layer of simplicity. Advantage: +Great phone/screen, nice picture quality +Bluetooth works without any problem +Keyboard is well laid out, text messanging is easy +Comes with a 128 MB mini SD card, good for some pictures and a couple of songs +Word, Excel and PDFtogo works great, good for reading, not so great for creating new docs +Battery life is decent +Can send/receive picture message with ease +Use tasks/memos very frequently +Syncs with Windows xP without any problem. (I had to disable my Firewall in order to let phone communicate with the computer) Disadvantage: +Didnt realize that with full keyboard (QWERTY), I can't anymore make calls with numbers such as 1-800-2JOIN-IN, since those characters are no more printed on numbers +A little slow operating system, but cant really count as a disadvantage I suggest this phone to anybody who wants to upgrade their plain phone to a smart Phone full with great tools. Date: 2007-11-12 piece of cr@p as with any motorola phone. . constant failures. . . buttons fail phone locks up in headset mode (not bluetooth - it thinks my audio patch is still inserted) On my third one as it fails at around 40 days. my current one will power down on its own and then not start up again./ I have to remove and reinsert the battery to turn it on. DO NOT BUY MOTOROLA PHONES!!! Date: 2007-11-12 Wonderful phone - When it works I've wanted to upgrade my phone to a SmartPhone for quite a while and I love what the Q9m does when it is working. Nice usage of WM6, nice phone body, nice form factor, nice price. Good stuff when it is working. (Except the battery life is rather lame.) However, in 6 weeks of use, I'm on my 2nd replacement phone. The first phone had one of the two external speaker die so the volume was half of what it should be after about 2 weeks. The second phone was also broken as a media player. This time, both speakers still worked, but the volume on both the external speakers or the headset were suddenly limited to only a quarter the volume it could do when it was new. In addition to the big issues, I've had the phones lock up and need the battery pulled 4-6 times. Not in any way a model of stability. I've never had a phone die on me before (except me dropping them or leaving one in the rain) in a decade of cell phone ownership. Having two of the same model die within 6 weeks is horrible. I hope this replacement doesn't have the same behaviors, because I do like the phone (when it works). Sadly, I'm already beginning to notice this volume dropping behavior with the current phone. And this third phone has a nasty fit and finish issue where the screen cover has a noticeable gap on its right side as it attaches to the edge of the phone. I think that Motorola rushed this phone out for the holiday buying season without doing what they needed to do to make a reliable phone. What good is the "Most Reliable Network" if the phone itself is shoddy and unreliable? Date: 2007-11-08 Dont buy if you use internet/email If you think you like this phone and you will use it solely for telephone/music purposes i would say get it. But if you do ANY amount of internet or emailing and dont want to charge your phone twice in a day do not get this phone. The battery life is horrible and internet is much slower than other smartphones. I was gonna keep this phone but i cant see myself having to charge a battery so often and put up with other "quirks" that comes with this phone...Im returning mine today. Date: 2007-11-07 Well worth the price The Moto Q 9m has been a good purchase for me. I did not opt to go with the data plan because I actually use it as a phone and I have internet and television at home. I've never been so excited to check a score or find out about an event that I had to check it on my phone. I just couldn't justify paying the extra $15/month for it. Anyway, the phone has solid and has not dropped many calls, even though I live in the mountains. I am also a text junkie and that is the main reason I got this phone. The keyboard is excellent and it can be used easily with one or two thumbs. My only complaint is the menu on the messaging. You have to go to a completely different menu to look at sent messages and then be sure to remember to go back to the inbox or it will keep you on the sent menu. In fact, all the menus are a little weird, but you get used to it. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase, and I am saving $20 per month on the plan vs. my old Alltel plan. Screw Chad. He was ripping me off.
