Similar to its predecessors - Motorola Q9m and the original Motorola Q - the Q9c offers professionals a productivity tool wrapped in a sleek and fashionable design. The Q9c offers powerful capabilities, including access to more than 14 million points of interest with Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator service. Customers can receive visual and audible turn-by-turn directions to a destination, locate business meeting destinations, ATMs, restaurants, and other places in an area, get a map of a location, bookmark favorites and recent searches, and even share locations with others.
The Motorola Q9c operates on Verizon Wireless' broadband network and features Windows Mobile 6 Standard software, which provides users with contacts, calendar and entertainment. With Windows Mobile 6.0, users can configure virtually any POP3 or IMAP4 email accounts, and read, edit, and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents via the Documents To Go application.
The optimized QWERTY keyboard on the Q9c has been engineered for fast and accurate typing, with dedicated "hot keys" for shortcuts to popular applications, including email, multimedia and Internet. The handset's large 2.4-inch color display boasts innovative adaptive technology to automatically adjust for optimized brightness in indoor or outdoor lighting conditions to maximize battery life. The Q9c also offers a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash and fixed focus as well as video capture and playback. With its 128 MB of on-board memory and optional removable memory future-proofed up to 32 GB, sold separately, users have plenty of room to store their photos and other multimedia.
The Q9c also combines advanced phone capabilities, such as voice-activated dialing, smart contacts dialing, speakerphone, and Stereo Bluetooth wireless technology supporting both Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP profiles.
The Motorola Q9c will be available for $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year customer agreement. An additional $100 credit toward the purchase of the handset is available for customers who sign up for qualifying voice and data plans at the time of purchase.
