Motorola Q9h Silver: More than meets the eye

Rumor September 25, 2008

Those of us that thought the recently revealed Motorola Q9h Silver was nothing more than a mere color refresh apparently have another thing coming. It seems the new device has a slew of under-the-hood changes to match its exterior. First up is a new feature that will allow Motorola and/or AT&T to push out firmware updates OTA. Before you get too excited, it’s worth noting that this feature is distinct from the built-in Windows Update feature found on all Windows Mobile 6 devices, a feature that has yet to be implemented by anyone. Motorola ad AT&T developed this FOTA solution themselves, and its an exciting addition that should hopefully make the firmware update process remarkably easier than it has been. The Q9h will also sport vastly improved battery life, A-GPS, and a new Moto feature dubbed “Crystal Talk” that automatically adjusts the handset’s mic and speaker volume based on the level of ambient noise. All told, these new changes might make the Q9h Silver worthy of consideration for those in need of a Windows Mobile Standard handset upgrade. Any takers?

    I had an HTC Tilt which I LOVED, but was defective and every replacement Tilt I got sucked worse than the one before. I just got the Q9h global today and I fell in love with it instantly. It was a shock to my system because it lacks a touch screen but i love the buttons and I don’t even notice the size. I love motorola and WM6.1 is kick ass in my opinion. I don’t know why anyone even gets Blackberries bc the operating system is GAY… and Even Palms have started using WM if that says anything. It speaks volumes in my opinion. My only complaint about this phone is that I could only set 2alarms. And the obvious drawback is that lack of touchscreen. As far as wifi, I never used it on my tilt and using wifi on your phone is stupid because it drains your battery like crazy anyway.
    I work in cell phone sales and I have seen and used a lot of phones and this one is kick ass people. give it a try.

    Do you know if this phone can be unlocked to work on the Canadian Rogers GSM network? They haven’t rolled out the updated Q9 w/ WM6.1 yet, and I can’t tell if they are planning on it.
