1. LapTop - 19 November’07 - reviews the Motorola Q 9 and likes the first class call quality. Here’s an excerpt from their review -
   “The Motorola Q 9h global is one of the best smart phones money can buy, especially at its limited-time price of $199 with a two-year contract. It offers very solid call quality, and unlike with the BlackBerry Curve, you get 3G data speeds and the ability to edit attachments out of the box. Although we still prefer the Curve for its smaller size and longer battery life, power users will love what this versatile device has to offer.”

2. Trusted Reviews - 6/4/2007 - has reviewed the Motorola Q 9 and writes, “The Q9 is a bit on the large side for my taste, and while its keyboard is very good the screen is a bit small. Aside from the fact that it is hampered by the lack of Wi-Fi it does its job well.”

3. Pocket-lint - 5/17/2007 - has reviewed the Motorola Q 9 and writes, “Having lived with the phone for three weeks before it was announced on the 16 May in the UK we’ve warmed to the handset from our initial first impressions however don’t feel that its as easy to use as we would have liked it to be.

   It is stylish it is looks and the Windows Mobile 6 interface will appeal, but for us, we still prefer the BlackBerry. Now where’s that Curve?”

4. CNET - 5/16/2007 - has reviewed the Motorola Q 9 and they write, “There are loads of rivals out there — the BlackBerry 8800 has GPS, and the Samsung i600 and Palm Treo 750v also have Qwerty keypads, but the Q 9 beats them all on the strength of its keypad alone. It’s one of the best we have ever used.

   Add to that HSPDA connectivity and a decent-sized screen and you have a worthy rival to RIM and Palm’s offerings. Our only niggles are the lack of a scroll wheel and Wi-Fi, but otherwise this is one of the best smart phones around.”

MobileBurn reviews the Motorola MOTORIZR Z3 slider cell phone and they write, “I really have mixed feelings about the Z3. On one hand, it is a very cool looking slider. On the other, it is very difficult to live with. If you are the kind of person who hardly ever messages anyone and photo quality is not a concern, the Z3 might be the phone for you. Otherwise, take my advice and get another phone. There are plenty of sliders out there on the market and they are much speedier than the Z3 in the UI department.”

Motorola MOTORIZR Z3 Features Include:

• GSM slider form factor
• Bluetooth
• microSD slot
• Built-in music player
• USB 2.0

PhoneScoop has reviewed the Motorola ic402 cell phone and they write, “The ic402 from SprintNextel is a workaday phone. Its basic feature set, PTT capability, and semi-rugged styling belie its blue and gray collar roots. While it makes strides in being a more up-to-date and pocketable device compared to its older cousins, the ic402 is still an iDEN phone at its core.

For an iDEN phone, it’s nice to have CDMA calling and data capabilities as well. The fact that the data radio can be configured and controlled is yet another indicator this this phone is intended to be a workhorse for the hard-hat set. When CDMA coverage is spotty, the ic402 falls back nicely on its PTT capabilities, which are helped by strong iDEN coverage. For a working man’s phone, though, the low battery life could be an issue for some.”

InfoSync reviews the Motorola RAZR Maxx Ve cell phone and they write, “This is not the best RAZR we’ve seen, that honor is still held by the RAZR V3xx. Still, this phone does have a couple of advantages over the AT&T device. First, we like the updated look of the Maxx, it provides a nice evolutionary bridge between this phone and the KRZR. Second, the camera on the Maxx Ve, with it’s two-stage autofocus button, took usable pictures. Like most RAZRs, the Maxx Ve made calls that sounded great, but most other aspects of the phone were very disappointing. We’re tired of the Verizon Wireless interface and menu setup, and we quickly grew frustrated with the V Cast music store. The phone simply could not handle videos properly, a real disappointment on a 3G phone. We’d like to see the V3xx stuffed into this body, or maybe a more revolutionary update to the RAZR family as a whole.”

LetsTalk has reviewed the Motorola KRZR K1 and here is their verdict - “Motorola’s Krzr is one slick cell phone. It’s not only smaller than its older brother, the Razr, but it is even a little more stylish. This cell phone has all the latest multi-media features including MP3 playback, a 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder. Although, the Krzr’s display isn’t as bright or crisp as other cell phones being introduced, it’s just fine for this small cell phone. If you’re in the market for a highly pocketable and stylish cell phone that’s easy to use and has stellar call quality, consider the Motorola Krzr. You won’t be disappointed.”

InfoSync has reviewed the Motorola MOTORIZR Z3 slider cell phone and they write, “Perhaps the RIZR is a simple choice. It is a very slick design, solid and well executed, and it does a good job making phone calls. If that’s all you want, the RIZR is a good choice, and a solid step into the slider arena for Motorola. Once you start exploring the advanced functions, the phone becomes less satisfying. The menu is a bit dated, both in its look and its organization. The multimedia functions are there, but are either too basic or, in the case of A2DP, didn’t work properly. The lack of 3G on T-Mobile’s network will also keep die-hard streaming audio and video fans away. Still, it’s a pretty phone with a nice coat of paint, it gets strong reception, and calls sound good, so if that’s all you need, the RIZR will be a satisfying choice.”

TechNewsWorld has reviewed the Motorola Q smartphone and they write, “It’s too bad Solitaire can’t be played while browsing the Web with the phone. From my location, I found Internet access very sluggish. However, I was impressed by the aesthetics of the mobile Web. They’ve greatly improved from the days of bare-bones text menus.

The Q lists for US$449.99, but Sprint is offering the unit at $99.99 with a two-year service agreement, $250 “instant savings,” and a $100 mail-in rebate.

If you’re a fighter of gadget glut, the Motorola Q, with its ability to act as a PDA, digital music player and Internet-enabled mobile phone, will be an appealing addition to your arsenal.”
