Review: Motorola Q9M

I have a new (reconditioned) q9m that doesn't seem to detect the media card. I put it in the micro sd adapter, insert in phone, get a message "do you want to format this storage card..." when I select "yes" it brings up another message "this storage card cannot be formatted". I've tried a few different cards - same. Tech support at Verizon and Motorola are no help! Ideas?

After using internet, how do I shut down the browser or other apps without turning my phone off?

I am a new owner of a Q9c and I really like the phone...my question is there a way to save text messages to a pc...thanks!

can this phone up to 1400 or more contacts or does it just depend on the rest of the memory for the phone and how it is used??

thanks!

I got the Motorola Q9C this week and I'm noticing that while I'm at work, I have very intermittent service at best. I am noticing that while at work, my phone's battery dies very quickly. In the morning it's fully charged and by the end of a 9 hour day my phone has died. Any recommendations on how to stop this from happening?

I have a Windows Mobile Moto Q9C and am looking for software that will set off an alarm every 3 hours letting me stop and start it (Friday afternoon to Sunday/Monday typically). Its going to wake me up so I need to be able to turn it off and it go off 3 hours later without a reset (in case I’m groggy).

I want to set a start date/time and end date/time and have it go off every 3 hours. Thanks.

I know it's a stupid request, but I really really want the lime phone from Alltel for my Verizon phone. I understand the phone industry fairly well (I worked for At&t for four years as a warranty exchange rep) and I'm certain it probably isn't possible; however, a girl can wish right?

I know they are merging (I noticed Alltel is now included in the m2m)...does this mean I should hold out for some of their phones too? Does anyone know if that aspect of the merger will happen soon?

I have the Q9C and im using a bluetooth with it. On my old Q9 it had a headset profile that atomattically switched on when the bluetooth connected and this new one doesnt seem to.. nor will it let me build a new profile for that. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that or to make it so while using a bluetooth text messages alet in your ear and not on the phone.. right now its doing it on both the phone and the bluetooth.

can anyone help?
thanks

I just recently switched from the Qm to the Omnia, I was curious if there may be a new Q set to release. I would switch back to a new Q in a heart beat. Thanks

I need appforge booster 4.0 to run a program.

The website it told me to go to has been bought out and has no mention of the booster program.

Anyone know where to get it for the Q9C? Ive downloaded a bunch of different versions and they all come back as not being intended for this device. Any help would be appreciated.

I know the GPS is locked on this vzw version phone unless you have VZ navigator, my questions are these:

1. VZ Nav is one monthly price, right? Not per minute of navigation? I'm looking at this phone w/o the data plan (or pay as you go since I only plan on popping online here and there to check email using WiFi). Other times when wifi is not available would be so few and far between that accessing the 'net at pay-as-you-go rates would be more cost effective than a data plan anyway. I don't think I'd use more than $30/month in data, really.

2. Should somebody come up w/the hack to get the GPS to work w/Google maps, as it does on the Sprint network, how does that work? Would you then need a data plan to access Google maps? (obviou...

i was wondering if it is possible to get it so the ringtone will stop when you clikc into the text??

A couple weeks ago, I replaced my Q9m with a Q9c. May not make sense to some, however the main reason for changing was the color. I couldn't stand the red case and the red numerical buttons were more difficult to see.

The Q9c works perfect. I tend to lean towards Windows Mobile devices due to their tight integration with Outlook/Exchange. For some reason, the Q9c battery seems to last a lot longer. With my Q9m, normal usage and using Activesync all day, by the end of the day, the battery was dead. With the Q9c, I typically have 50% or greater battery left by the end of the day. Not sure why this is, but it makes me very happy. Maybe its related to WM 6.1.

I upgraded the Q9c to WM 6.1 last week and its definitely an improvemen...

trying to decide on which phone to ge bb curve or moto q9c also i am with altel network thank you

What is the difference in the c or m. I thought it was like the razr where one supports a memory card and the other don't buy with this I'm lost. Any thoughts? thanks

OK I REALY WANT TO KNOW WHAT ALL U PPL ON HERE THINK IS BETTER, THE MOTOROLA Q9c OR THE HTC PPC-6800. I WANT ONE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OUTWEIGHS THE OTHER SO IF U HAVE THESE PHONE FROM ANY CARRIER (USCC PREFERRED) CAN U PLZ REPLY WITH AS MUCH INFO AS U CAN GAVE, THANX BYE! 😁

thinking of switching to verizons q9m. does navigator wrk on this device

ok, I have my Caller ID blocked, but have the people in my contact list that need to know my ID prefixed with *82 infront of their number.

On my EnV all i did was select their names and then was able go back and edit the *82 out on the text/mms screen

With My Q9C i cannot find a way to edit the numbers of the people I am sending to in the txt screen.

it will show "michelle"

when i try to move the cursor through that it jumps to either before or after, not in between, so I cannot edit the info.

The only work aroun I have found is to edit my contact list and put their mobile # i text to in the "mobile phone" field and the mobile# with the *82 in the "Car Phone" field

Am I making sense?
Am I missing some setting that i can ...

i was just wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of the 'verizon wireless' banner on the home screen, ive got the display set on 'windows basic'. thanks.

When i try to play any music or any sounds on my Q9m it doesn't work. Kind of like its on mute to all system sound. When i receive a call the ringtones work, but i cant play ringtones on my own or watch a video with sound. I have already made sure the sound is up and its not on mute. Is there something I am missing? PLEASE HELP!
