Motorola Moto Q9h

Let’s face it, not the snappiest of names. In fact, the Moto Q 9h is only beaten by the OQO e2 for names that seem to be created using a random collection of letters. But that’s not the end of its problems...

Having been landed with a dubious moniker (that’s a dodgy name to those who haven’t swallowed a dictionary), the Moto Q 9h needs to draw people in using its other charms. Not a great follow up, then, that it looks like something Texas Instruments might cook up.

Clearly aiming to be a Blackberry-style phone, it never really captures that device’s angular features. But can the smartphone’s inner workings break through those starting issues to become the device of choice for your pocket? As we say on a daily basis, “good luck with that”.
We have to admit, the Motorola phone gives it a damn good shot. For starters, its fat-but-flat frame hides a 325MHz processor, 256MB of Flash ROM and 96MB of RAM. That beats the BlackBerry 8800’s 312MHz processor by a smidgen and helps keep Windows 6.0 happy for most tasks.
