Pros:
Simple tethered modem access, excellent e-mail client, great call quality |
 |
Cons:
Only comes with extended battery, outdated scroll wheel, no dedicated camera button |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| Much like its predecessor, Sprint's Q9c makes improvements to their version of a device released earlier by its competitors. If you're a seasoned Windows Mobile Standard user (read: no touchscreen), then there is a very good chance you will be pleased with the Q9c; it has improved upon many of the things that were wrong with the original Q as well as the first incarnations of the Q9. While we dislike what the extended battery does to its profile, almost as much as we detest the horribly outdated scrollwheel, The Q9c is a solid smartphone that does many things right. And if you're a heavy phone-as-tethered modem user, look no further. |
