Key features

The Q9c was a smart phone made in 2007 and discontinued on 13 Feb 2007 that delivered high-speed mobile Web at EV-DO speeds with Microsoft Internet Explorer and USB 1.1 connectivity. Configuration of consumer email accounts (POP3/ IMAP4) and Windows Mobile with Direct Push technology keeps users connected to both work and personal email accounts, in real time. MOTO Q 9c has 128 MB of internal memory and was upgradable up to 32 GB of optional removable memory, and supported Microsoft ActiveSync that allowed users to sync email, contacts and calendars with their PC. However, it used the outdated Windows Mobile that became unpopular in the tech community in comparison to iOS and Android.
