I asked about it earlier. The bottom line is no one knows for sure but indications are it will be the same guts as the m you have.

That Alltel snipet is what concerns me.

I hear you . . but we are probably some time away from knowing.

does anyone know when the q9c is suppose to be released? i've heard late october or early november.... or maybe even december.

Come on people, discussing the Q9c has nothing to do with Q 9m reviews.

Why not discuss the Q9c in the Future Motorola Q Smartphones forum? In fact, there's a thread about the Q9c there.

To get back on track....

Here's Laptop Magazine's Q 9m review. They gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Anyone who has the Q9m please add to my list. It is meant to be a MACRO list, not every bug resolved:

Upgrades of the Verizon/Sprint Q9m Q9c:
WM 6
Docs to Go bundled
SDIO with external WiFi support
New form factor and keypad
New Interface (multimedia from Verizon for the m; WM for the c)

Omissions:
Rev A
GPS native
Increase in memory
Increase in processor
GSM/CDMA support (seems to be a new trend - Blackjack and BB)

From those who have hands on -- what else is an upgrade or omission for the 9m (and conceivable the c)

Just to confirm, has it been stated that the Q9C supports SDIO WiFi? The only reason I say this is if the Q9c is the CDMA variant of the Q9 Global (aka Q9h) then I was under the impression that did not support WiFi or that it had not been confirmed as of yet. If the Q9c is the Q9 Global with CDMA radios and it supports SDIO WiFi then there is hope for those who want WiFi in their devices.

There is nothing confirmed on the 'c' as of yet just assumption that it is the same as the m. To Steve's point, we should move the c conversation over to the correct thread.

Having gone back and reread the Gizmodo review I can say now say it was written by a 3rd grader. I have not found my current Q sluggish at all and I doubt MS or Moto would do something to slow it down on the Q9m (can't say Verizon wouldn't though). So that review is discounted, CNET at least covers more detail.
