Motorola Moto Q9h Mobile Phone
 |  | |
Motorola has acquired a reputation for phones that look good ever since it produced the RAZR, and the 09h does not disappoint in that regard. The phone seems to be made of plastic, but has a comforting rubber-like feeling to it, making it easy to hold. Although a bit on the bulky side (as most OWERTY phones are), the 09h is still slim for a smartphone at a mere 11 .8mm and looks sleek. The phone comes with a very well-designed keypad that manages to be large enough to allow users to type away without pressing any keys accidentally, and still retain a compact form. Motorola has also replaced the 08's ugly plasticky D-pad with a smooth metallic circular dial for on screen navigation. Some might be disappointed at the 2. 4inch display, especially given the larger displays featured on the likes of the Nokia e61 i. But the 09h's display is still',pretty handy, unless one wants to stare at really long documents or web pages. It also has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen's brightness depending on the light in which the phone is being used, There are also five dedicated keys at the bottom of the phone for one touch access to the calendar, contacts, music, camera and speakerphone. One of the most impressive features of the phone is its speed of operation, Motorola has used a more powerful processor as compared to the one in the Q8 and it definitely shows. There's also plenty of memory to go around - 256 MB Flash ROM and 96 MB SDRAM - ensuring that there is little lag in running applications and also in keeping more than one app running at the same time. Speaking of apps, Motorola seems to have decided to step away from some of the traditional software that comes with Windows Mobile. Instead of sticking with Internet Explorer for browsing the Web, Motorola has used Opera Mobile as the default browser. And the difference shows, as Opera is not only quicker but is also capable of rendering just about any Web page and also offers tabbed browsing (something rarely seen in mobile environments). And there is also the matter of the office suite. Unlike most other manufacturers, Motorola has opted not to go with the Office Mobile package that is a standard feature of Windows Mobile phones and has loaded Documents To Go, a rival office suite on the Q9h. Once again, users won't be complaining, because unlike Mobile Office, Documents To Go actually allows one to view, edit and even create files in MS Office formats, and also has a zip application built into it. The phone comes with Bluetooth connectivity and also supports HSDPA (although that is not yet available in India). However, we were disappointed by the absence of Wi-Fi, some¬thing which would have made the phone irresistible. Although an enterprise device, the Q9h does well on the entertainment front too. Its 2.0megapixel camera can capture and replay video at a respectable 30 frames per second. The sound quality is good too, over both loudspeaker and earphones, and is among the best we have seen in the enterprise segment (although we cannot see Nokia or Sony Ericsson losing sleep over it). Battery life is excellent we used it thoroughly for two days on a single charge. As a final touch, Motorola has added a 1 GB card as well as an additional battery and an emergency charger that allows users to charge the device up to three times, when they are not near a conventional power source. All of which makes it an excellent value for money at Rs. 19,495. Those looking for an enterprise device with a full QWERTY keypad and running Windows Mobile could try the HTC S71 0 which is available for Rs 14,900 or the i-mate JAQ3 which comes for Rs. 16,900.
