Verdict

Motorola's Windows Mobile 6-based Q9 is a relatively bulky smartphone, although the keyboard is large and responsive. You get quad-band GSM, GPRS/EDGE and 3G/HSDPA connectivity, but it's a pity that Wi-Fi is not built in.

Price

TBA

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
