Review: Motorola Q9M
Since the Q9m is a Windows Mobile-based smartphone, you can rest assured knowing that if you're an email or SMS freak, it's got your back. Not only will it accept push Microsoft Outlook mail, but you can also sync it with your personal POP3 accounts. We were able to load up multiple Google, AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts. They all delivered email seamlessly.
When viewing the Today screen, there is a line reserved for messages. It shows you how many emails, SMS's, MMS's and voicemails you have in your inboxes. SMS, MMS and voicemail messages also have icons that appear in the status bar across the top of the screen, so you have two visual cues letting you know that messages are waiting.
From the home screen, simply hitting the shortcut to the messaging center will bring you to the main messaging menu, though it is also accessible from the start menu. Here, the messages are sorted by SMS, Outlook Email, MMS, and POP3 accounts. There will be a number next to each one to let you know how many unread messages are in each inbox. Each message type has its own set of inboxes, drafts, sent and outboxes so you can tell the status of all your messages at a glance. From the home screen, you can also navigate down to the one inbox that has a new message, say an email, and select it. This will take you directly to that inbox, allowing you to skip the general messaging center.
When in each of the separate inboxes, the left softkey is a delete key, and the right softkey a menu key. When viewing a message in any of the formats, the right softkey becomes your options menu, and lets you take just about any action you can think of, including delete, reply, forward, move, etc. The left softkey becomes a reply key.
Everything about the messaging center is intuitive. We were never left scratching our heads asking ourselves, "Why did they do it that way?" The way messages are accessed and interacted with just makes sense.
