Moto Q9h vs. Blackjack 2 - Motorola Q Forum

I no since this is on a Q website most people are going to pick the Q but how do u think the blackjack 2 compares with the Q?

The camera is better on the BJ II, but I believe the phone is navigated a bit easier with the Q9h. Also, the GPS is REALLY tough to get working on the BJ II from what I've read in some forums.

I like Motorola's build quality better than Samsung's. I've owned multiple phones of each, and sold them both for a year and a half. I like Samsung's features on their phones, but their software is just often slower. I'm not a fan of it really. I often sold Motorola phones to customers simply based on the reliability factor. However, the phonebook system is outdated, and there menus can be tricky to navigate.

Of course, this is with respect to phones NOT equipped with Windows Mobile.

I had my choice between the two. I picked the Q9h for its keyboard, and the additional RAM and memory it has. I'm glad I made the right choice, at least as far as my needs go =)

BJ II is very ugly too.

This a good review http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/...-to-the-death/ , they seemed biased against Motorola but the Q9h still wins.

I had a BJII for 3 days and swapped it for a Q9h, which developed issues and had to be replaced a week later with another unit. The GPS on the BJII worked immediately. The GPS's in both of the Q's are slo-o-o-o-ow to get a fix. I found the keyboard on the BJII slightly easier to use.

The deciding factor in the Q's favor was voice activation. Being able to hit the button on my headset and say "Call so-n-so" completely hands-free is important to me, and the BJII does not support that. (AT&T has a voice-dial subscription feature available, but you still have to hit something like 3 keys to activate it, so it is *not* a "hands-free" substitute)

(and only the black BJII is ugly - the red one is a reeeeally nice shade of red, and dammit the Q only comes in black...)

i had a bjII for two days before getting this q instead.. my biggest issue with the bjII was the battery life was horrid and the speaker was to quiet and muffled. I personally find the keyboard much easier on the q also.

Welcome TGwinn.
I agree with your assessment. I know somebody who had the BJ and returned it for that reason.

I looked at both and chose the Q. Main reason was the far superior keyboard but I was also very impressed with the speaker quality and phone call clarity in general. I do wish the Q had the little jog dial thingy though.

what the hell, well at least they make it clear that they have some biasness against Moto Q9, and the final verdict of Q9 over BJII (based on the number of win in the various dept)makes it even sweeter
