Motorola Q 9h

Design:

The Q 9h's front is occupied by a silver four-way directional pad. A QWERTY keyboard doubles as the number pad when making calls. The backside of the phone is bare, other than a inconspicuous loudspeaker, camera and Vodafone logo. Up, down, select and back buttons sit on the right-hand side of the unit and a microSD slot on the left-hand side.

Features:

The Q 9h is a quad-band GSM phone as well as a 3G handset with support for HSDPA (3.5G). Our review model came with a Vodafone SIM card and browsing the Internet was speedy using the bundled Opera browser.

Bluetooth, microSD, and USB 2.0 are supported but sadly Wi-Fi is not. The onboard 2-megapixel camera had pretty average results, especially indoors or in low light conditions. The Q 9h is catering to a business audience it is understandably omitted.


The Good:

The Motorola Q9h is a great messaging device with a spacious QWERTY keyboard, and also offers decent call quality and multimedia performance. The smartphone features HSDPA support, Bluetooth, GPS, world roaming, and a 2-megapixel camera.



The Bad:

The Q9h can be sluggish, and its battery life drains quickly. Some users may not like the lack of a scroll wheel.

Bottomline:

While many vendors are adopting touch-based technologies, Motorola has chosen to stick with a button-interface for the Q 9h.
