Verizon Launches Motorola Smartphone

Probably one of the bestselling Smartphones in the market today, the Motorola MOTO Q Music 9M from Verizon has turned a lot of heads and yanked in positive comments and some negative too.

The design of this phone is very much a refreshing change from other Smartphones and PDA's, most of which looked almost exactly the same. The keypad is the ultimate attraction for this communications device. Its unique keypad interface allows quick typing and fast scrolling. The keys are flat but then large enough for immediate pressing. However, the delete key is still way above the keypad so quick editing can be ruled out here.

From it's name alone, the 9M allows you to listen to your favorite tracks but sound quality is mediocre. User reviews say there are background noise when they use this smartphone. Aside from that, no complaints arose regarding on sound clarity. The stock memory of the 9M can be expanded up to 4GB through mini memory cards. Wireless connection is okay but there are instances where some pages took a lot of time to load. Customizing the looks of the 9M would prove to be a hard sell since accessories for this gadget are very limited, unlike Motorola cell phone accessories. Battery life is excellent. The average talktime can last up to 5 hours. On stand by mode, this PDA can go as long as 16 days. Users will appreciate definitely appreciate this effeciency, unlike some cell phone batteries.

Performance-wise, the phone side of the 9M is above average; a $199.99 deal on this Smartphone from Verizon may prove to be a good buy, or it may not.
