I figured it was just a leftover from the wm6.1 not being the correct rom. Later on i was playing with it and the phone said it had wireless networks available. I was able to connect my phone with my home wireless. I turned off the phone, bluetooth, and removed the sds card and was able to surf and get email from the wifi. Just to add. Google maps confirmed I had gps as well.

Wait a minute... This is a hoax! Look at the date under the pic: Dec. 25 2007... you said you just got it today.

It is a ATT branded Q9H. or at least I believe so. It has the ATT intro at startup, thee att internet button. I bought from ebay user poke_hawn. It didnt mention 6.1 or wifi, just a happy surprise.

No that just means the date on my camera is wrong. I will post other pics with the camera set correctly if you want.

I believe you this is not a fake...and congrats on getting a Q9h with wi-fi!

One quick question, the outside ring of the phone...is it silver or black? From the pics you took it looks silver. If it is silver, does the AT&T logo appear on the silver part just under the keyboard?

A couple pics of the entire phone with good lighting would be great.

[nmm222]

yeah it does have the att logo on the silver part. i wish there was someway to spread the wifi love, but i certainly dont know enough to know how i got it (and others don't) It just came like that If anyone has any ideas Id be willing to try.

Just a reminder or for those who don't know:

Ok...here's the deal folks: Motorola would NOT have made 2 different Q9h for AT&T in the same production run...one with wi-fi and one without. It does not make any sense at all. It seems that a few of the very early releases contained WM6.1 (as in the phone BGR got when they first reviewed the phone in nov-dec 2007). AT&T probably figured out fast that they did not want 6.1 with wi-fi out so that it would compete with other phones they wanted to sell (ie...the iPhone) so they made Motorola load all phones that were'nt already distributed with WM6.0 and had them turn wi-fi off.

It seems that there is, in fact, a wi-fi chip in this phone and that when AT&T releases WM6.1 it is possible that they will not disable wi-fi in the software. The best part now is if they do, we have someone on the forum with wi-fi enabled WM6.1 on the Q9h and in theory, all they would need to do is create a Sprite backup of the phone and post it for all to d/l. This would allow the missing registry settings / dll's...etc to be installed on a crippled phone and make it active

The other thing that could be done now, there have been a few posts about trying to make a backup of a ROM and then reinstall it on a phone. If anyone has this ability or knows how to do it, we now have a phone that we could do a ROM backup...post it to the masses for d/l and give AT&T the middle finger

Also nmm222:

Could you go into Settings->More...->More...->Phone Information and post all of the values listed?
