MS Smartphones

Motorola Q9 Global Motorola's been working the smartphone thing for several years now, and we say that the Q Global, AT&T's version of the Motorola Q9h is finally a winner. The slim good looks wouldn't mean a thing without an excellent set of features that work well: fast HSDPA 3.5G for data, a quad band GSM radio with excellent voice quality and good reception, GPS and a decent 2.0 megapixel camera. The Q9 has a faster-than-average 325mHz CPU, 256 megs of flash ROM, 96 megs of RAM, a QVGA landscape display and it runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard.	AT&T	Nov. 2007
Motorola Q9m The follow-up to the Motorola Q is a great improvement. We love the excellent build quality, good looks, stereo speakers and fantastic QWERTY thumb keyboard. Like the original, the Q9m runs on a 312MHz Intel XScale processor with 64 megs of RAM and 128 megs of flash memory and it sports the same ho-hum 1.3 megapixel camera. Why the Q9m didn't get the additional compliment of flash memory and better camera that its GSM sibling, the Q9h has, we don't know. The Motorola Q music 9m is a slim Windows Mobile 6 smartphone offered by Verizon with EVDO Rev. 0 for data.	Verizon	Sept. 2007
Motorola Q The brainy RAZR we've all been waiting for is finally here! The Q in no way resembles Motorola's past smartphones (and that's a good thing). It sports fresh RAZR-esque looks, fast and reliable technology inside and a vivid landscape display. This smartphone is available on Verizon's network in the US and it offers EVDO for 3G data speeds, good voice quality, Bluetooth and a QWERTY keyboard. Its 312MHz Intel XScale processor keeps it humming along nicely and it has a miniSD slot to save the 1.3MP camera's photos as well as any data you wish.	Verizon	June 2006
Motorola i930 This is Nextel's first Microsoft Smartphone. It may be late to the party but it offers the usual Nextel ruggedness, Push to Talk, good performance and stability. This smartphone runs Windows Mobile 2003SE on a 200 MHz processor and has a split personality: in the US it works on Nextel's iDen network while overseas it works as a GSM phone thanks to a dual band GSM radio and SIM slot.	Nextel	Dec. 2005
Motorola MPx220 The new MS Smartphone on the block packs an amazing number of features into a small package. This trim clamshell phone runs MS Smartphone 2003 SE, has a fast processor, Bluetooth, a 1MP camera, an expansion slot and MP3 stereo playback. It's a GSM world phone offered by Cingular in the US. Update June 2005: Cingular no longer seems to offer this phone.	Cingular	Nov. 2004
Motorola MPx200 This and the Samsung i600 offered by Verizon are the first Microsoft Smartphone 2002 devices to hit the market. The MPx200 runs on GSM networks and is currently offered by AT&T Wireless. It's the size of an average mobile phone but packs more of a punch offering strong Microsoft PIM apps, a web browser and multimedia player plus good desktop syncing. Discontinued.	AT&T	Feb. 2004

Motorola Feature Phones (regular phones)

Motorola Z9 Motorola's sexy new slider was just announced for AT&T at the CTIA trade show in early April. This is a feature phone that seems to have it all: stunning good looks with a metallic sheen and attractive color, solid build quality and a wealth of features. The Moto Z9 is the slider cousin to the popular RAZR2 V9 and shares that phone's styling and OS. But the Z9 adds something special: it's AT&T's first feature phone with a GPS and AT&T Navigator. The Moto also has a very good 2 megapixel camera, a large QVGA display, music player, SDHC microSD card slot and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR with A2DP stereo support.	AT&T	April 2008
Motorola MOTORIZR Z6tv The third TV phone on Verizon's network, and the first to lose the external TV antenna (the just-released LG Voyager also lacks the antenna and is Verizon's 4th TV phone). The RIZR Z6tv is a very attractive and compact phone with a gloss finish on the front and a vivid QVGA color display. It handles Verizon TV, which is true broadcast digital TV, along with EVDO and V Cast on demand content. The Moto has a music player, Bluetooth with a host of profiles including A2DP stereo, VZ Navigator support and a 2 megapixel camera that takes pleasing shots. Even if you're not into TV, the RIZR is an attractive, well-built slider that's worth a look.	Verizon	Nov. 2007
Motorola RAZR2 V9m We take a look at the Sprint version of the re-born RAZR which features a more elegant and durable design than prior generation RAZR models. The metallic RAZR2 has EVDO, Sprint TV, two large displays, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth with A2DP Bluetooth stereo and it just plain looks pretty (but keep that polishing cloth handy).	Sprint	Nov. 2007
Motorola KRZR K1m If you've got Rolex and Jaguar tastes but a high end Toyota budget the MOTOKRZR calls to you. This undeniably good looking phone is small, sexy and looks tres high class. Not only that, it actually has great voice quality and is very easy to use. The KRZR has a 1.3MP camera, Micro SD card slot, music player and EVDO for high speed data and V Cast entertainment on Verizon's nework. If you're looking for a head turner and don't want every feature under the sun, check out the KRZR.	Verizon	Sept. 2006
Motorola RAZR V3 One of the most popular mobile phones ever sold, the RAZR banks that its thin-is-in looks, stunning metal keypad and popularity will convince you to slip one into your pocket. This flip phone has a quad band GSM radio that will work anywhere in the world GSM service is available, GPRS for data, Bluetooth and a VGA camera. It's offered by Cingular and T-Mobile in the US, and we take a look at the Cingular version.	Cingular and T-Mobile (Verizon too!)	Aug. 2006
Motorola PEBL One of the trio of super-fashionable vowel-less mobile phones from Motorola, the PEBL adds a tactile element to the design with its feels great in the hand design and non-slip texture. It's a quad band GSM phone with Bluetooth, a VGA camera and a very nice inner display. The PEBL is offered by T-Mobile in the US and it's available in black, blue, orange and green.	T-Mobile	June 2006
Motorola SLVR L6 The L7's little brother is a very fashionable and functional phone for less than $50 in the US. It's a Cingular phone but Radio Shack currently has the bragging rights to selling the phone. The L6 is a super-slim candy bar GSM quad band phone with Bluetooth, strong reception and a VGA display. Unlike the L7, it does not have iTunes.	Cingular	May 2006
Motorola i870 Nextel's first high end feature phone puts the perk back in work. Less bulky than most Nextel phones, the i870 features a 1.3 megapixel camera, TransFlash memory expansion slot and an MP3 player with front controls. If you're a Nextel user who yearns for a feature phone, this is it.	Nextel	April 2006
Motorola SLVR L7 The candy bar sibling to the sexy RAZR is super-slim at 11.5mm, and has the RAZR's signature polished metal keypad. The phone is all about looks and it's gorgeous to be sure and very light. The SLVR is Moto's second iTunes phone and it can hold up to 100 songs. It's got a VGA camera, Bluetooth and a TransFlash slot for expansion. The SLVR is a quad band GSM phone that's sold in the US by Cingular.	Cingular	Feb. 2006
Motorola E815 Released late Summer 2005, this is Motorola's flagship feature phone on the Verizon Wireless network. The phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, MP3 player, EVDO for high speed data and VCast and a TransFlash memory expansion slot. While it's not tiny and sexy, it's well built and offers a great feature set for the money.	Verizon	Dec. 2005
