"The MOTO Q 9h is not simply the domain of corporate enterprise professionals," says Jim Madigan, Director, GSM Sales. "It will be used as a tool to organize work and social lives, IM friends, capture, store, and playback video, update web pages and blogs via mobile Web, and listen to music wire-free with compatible stereo Bluetooth enabled devices. As download speeds increase and high speed network coverage expands, we're going to see even more people exploring the vast capabilities smartphones like the MOTO Q 9h have to offer."

The MOTO Q 9h combines outstanding phone quality with an advanced ergonomic QWERTY keyboard for easy e-mail and texting, built-in GPS capabilities for on the fly directions, a 2.0 megapixel camera with flash capable of capturing video at 15 frames per second, up to 32 GB of optional microSD removable memory to take your media files with you, and a variety of email options for both corporate and personal use(1).

Windows Mobile 6 Experience

One of the first all-in-one devices to feature Windows Mobile 6, the Moto Q 9h offers consumers the familiar look and feel of their desktop computers. E-mails are delivered in their original HTML format and displayed as they would be on a PC. Word documents and Excel spreadsheets can also be viewed and edited in their original formatting.

The MOTO Q 9h includes Direct Push Technology for up-to-date email delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server.

Windows Mobile 6 also offers a valuable set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way.

Email and Beyond

Microsoft Direct Push is just one of a selection of corporate email options from which customers have to choose. In addition to email, business users will be able to access such popular services such as TeleNav GPS Navigator which provides GPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving direction, colorful 3D moving maps and traffic delay alerts/re-routing for use in vehicles or while walking.

Beyond business use, the MOTO Q 9h provides consumers with a rich messaging and entertainment experience. With POP3 email support, the MOTO Q 9h lets you manage up to eight different personal email and messaging accounts with no added fees. Customers can also communicate with friends and family via SMS and MMS messages, and IM using such popular platforms as Windows Live Messenger, which is pre-loaded on the Moto Q 9h, or AOL and Yahoo! via a download.
