It’s like a bionic Q. Although the latest version for Verizon was more of a multimedia makeover, the Moto Q 9h global ($199 through the holidays, $299 after that) has been rebuilt from the ground up to make it one of the most compelling Windows Mobile phones yet. We’re not just talking about a new processor and extra RAM. Motorola has replaced Mobile IE with Opera as the default browser (faster and better formatting), kicked Office Mobile to the curb in favor of Documents to Go (for editing and creating documents) and added GPS.
You also get a sharper two-megapixel camera and one of the best keyboards we’ve used. It’s a bit large, but when you add in fast HSDPA data and very good call quality, the Moto Q global looks like a steal. Big, But Killer QWERTY
There’s a reason why the Moto Q global has a stellar keyboard: It has a lot of room for one. In fact, at 4.7 x 2.6 x 0.5 inches and 4.7 ounces, this smart phone is significantly taller, wider, and heavier than the BlackBerry Curve (4.2 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and 3.9 ounces). It’s also slightly taller than the Verizon Wireless Q music 9m but a hair lighter.
