Motorola Q9m Unboxing and Reviews
Verizon's latest music centric offering the Motorola Q9m is now showing up in the online reviews and unboxing reports. Mark Spoonauer of LAPTOP Magazine has written a nice short balanced review about the five things he liked and didn't like about the Q9m. On the other hand Wilson Rothman over at Gizmodo seems to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and handed the Q9m for a mini-review. He has butchered WM6, Motorola, Verizon and his own reviewer status in the rant that he has posted. LAPTOP Magazine - Hands On with the Moto Q music 9m

Why link to the Gizmodo review... If you can call it that..
The guy cant even figure out how to play solitaire on a WM Standard device. He doesnt deserve to have his little biased rant be considered anything close to a review. If you cant figure out how to use solitaire it has nothing to do with the phone being 'intuitive' it just shows that reviewer is, well, not a smarty.

Good point. The guy seriously needs to get his head checked. I am pretty good at taking criticism, but this guy I don't know what his problem is.
The only thing worthwhile in that so-called-mini-review are the photos. And of course the entertainment provided by the rant that makes the reviewer look like... ;-)

I must admit that I personally do not like this phone at all. It looks somewhat ugly (ok, still prettier that the Q9H we get here in Switzerland) and the homescreen is what I would use as an example on how NOT to do it.
The only thing I found to be very nice to use is the keyboard (on the Q9h, but I guess it's pretty much the same on this version).
From what I heard the battery must be very weak and this is an absolute no-go for me.

Battery life is definitely something worth a rant. Too bad no one seems to have focused their attention on it. From what I have heard, Moto didnt make any major internal improvements, which means the battery life is still lousy. Now that is pathetic, more than a year after the initial release the version 2 still have the same issues and v1. No wonder Moto is losing its ground to Samsung.
