The younger brother to arguably the most important Windows Mobile smartphone has gotten the once over by the folks at MobileBurn. I love their reviews … not because they are short and funny (not by any stretch) but because if you want to know about the smallest detail on a reviewed device – they cover it. And they’ve done it again with a full 5 pages worth of Q 9h goodness.

Hit the link below for this excellent review!

Gone are the RAZR-inspired looks of the original Motorola Q, and in their place comes something far more sophisticated, albeit not to everyone’s taste. The mix of gloss sides and screen and soft touch material on the keypad, as well as dark grey and black colors with brushed aluminum highlights, creates a mix that at the same time looks well designed and haphazardly thrown together. It is a device that appears far different in photos than it does in person, and all I can really recommend is that you view the device in the flesh before a purchase. Overall, however, the device feels quite solid in the hand, and I was pleased with its design overall.

Another styling queue that has disappeared with the Q 9h is the large ‘chin’ underneath the keyboard. Instead, the device is roughly divided 50/50 between screen and keys, with the keys going almost all the way to the bottom of the device, though a good weight balance keeps this from being a problem. When viewed in silhouette from the side, the device forms a slanted parallelogram look. While this makes it a little different and more stylish, there is not a lot of purpose to it.
