Motorola Q9h

nobody said anything

I’ve got a new toy, and at a great price of only SG$68 after renewing a high-end plan and trading in my old cellphone. Being the absentminded girl that I am, I rely on my phone to remind me of appointments and also as my trusty alarm clock. Here’s what I think of the Motorola Q9h.

Feels solid with an excellent QWERTY keyboard, no complaints. Easy to assemble but manual doesn’t show you how to insert the extended memory card. Comes with a good leather case with a clip that I want to remove but it’s not removable. Haven’t seen a desktop charger in ages, it also charges via USB.

This is my first time using a Windows Mobile cell so it took a bit of getting used to. First thing I wanted to do was customize the Home Screen. It was a huge pain in the a** to do so because there is no way of previewing so I had to set and view, set and view, set and view. Doesn’t help that it comes with names like Luminescence (what I’m using now), Pixelation, Sand Flower or Translucent (which is actually red by the way) so you can’t really tell what colors they are.

A few things I don’t like:

    x Doesn’t come with multiple alarm clocks like Sony Ericsson phones
    x Contacts need to be in phone if you want to add a mugshot to the name (and I haven’t found out how to mass copy all the contacts in my SIM card to the phone)
    x I get running applications that I’m not running and I need to do an end task every now and then
    x I wish it had two shift keys instead of one because it’s a little inconvenient to type in caps for chars on the right side of the keyboard
    x I can’t unlock the phone without looking at the phone because of the weird key combination
    x No WIFI (not that I really need it since my DS and iPod Touch both have it)
    x The phone is processing pretty okay overall except when I try to access Media Centre > Audio with which it lags like crazy trying to search and like fetch all the audio files in the phone

Well, it does come with a whole lot of features which you can read up on, plus it is compatible with BlackBerry Connect. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my new phone. :)

新しいの携帯!
あたらしい の けいたい!
