AT&T Q9 - Release Date? - Page 7 - Motorola Q Forum

Not looking good... I just received a call from my rep offering me the Tilt instead of the Q9!?!!? Says the Q9 has once again been pushed out and not to expect until the end of October or sometime in November!! This is crazy.

Sorry, I don't buy that. I have not been called with this latest news and there has been no logical reason given to date to cause any further delays. Rogers network has them coming and AT&T has them as coming soon. I on't buy it.

I admire your perseverance and faith in AT&T. I mean you still are waiting for a logical reason for the delay - like as if the delay from August to Sept to October was very logical to you ? As a consumer - their network troubles, testing troubles etc etc dont make any logical reason for me. I mean if other carriers have been able to test and release the same product (or nearly the same) whats with AT&T ?

Of course the other Rep pushing Austinguy for theTilt may just be trying to sell him a more expensive unit. But again your not receiveing a call from your rep doesnt mean there's no more delays either. I didnt know that AT&T had to call and let you know about every delay either ...

Whatever the case - this "coming soon" is hardly an excuse for their fumbling a product launch.

I do agree AT&T has shown little interest in being a world class wireless provider and their testing opps seem to take way longer than Verizon's but I do hold some hope out for next week based on what I have read elsewhere. Posts showing up that the phone is due out 10/5, but who really knows certainly not AT&T.

As for my rep, well I guess that has been chalked up to just another one who looks at today's sales and not tomorrows in addition to today's. I will most likely buy from another COR store.

EngadgetMobile is now reporting late October.

I saw that and honestly I am moving to the point of not caring when it comes out. Obviously every rumored launch date has not officially been announced by AT&T other than the rebate forms which are neither firm dates or formal announcements. With any luck I will return from vacation at towards month end and find Leopard his out and the Q9 Global was released. That's if I actually believed in luck.

Well, my current phone broke and I had to get a new one so I just gave in and got the Verizon Q9m. I know it's the older processor with a souped up form factor and Windows Mobile 6, but I was thinking about what really is different between the q9m and the q9h and basically the only thing I really care about is the camera and the GPS.

Granted, the GPS is a pretty nice feature, but I'm still in "I love my new phone" mode with the q9m. Of course, the vCast Music application included with the phone is pitiful. You get access to a lot of music, but it's overpriced ($1.99/song??) and hard to maintain on your device, not to mention a terrible store interface.

As for the q9h coming out, I've got 30 days to return my q9m for 100% money back guarantee so I'll check it out when it comes out and if it's worth it I'll go through the hassle of switching. I just couldn't take the endless waiting for the q9h anymore...

I just spoke with a sales rep at at&t and he said that Motorola is holding an at&t event tomorrow ( 10/10/07) and that the Q9 should be announced and should be released within a week or possibly two at the latest afterwards.
=D
lets hope this is the case.

While the news is encouraging ATT & Moto have screwd the pooch on this one. They have the opportunity to ride this one big and now its just gone too long. Announcing something tomorrow better mean launching it tomorrow etc otherwise why bother. I mean in a week or two it will just get lost in the shuffle of other phones being announced.
