Motorola Q9c Smartphone (Verizon Wireless)

The thin Motorola Q9c provides the powerful Windows Mobile 6 platform as well as access to the VZ Navigator directional service.

With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps.

With BroadbandAccess Connect (subscription required), you can use your smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with BroadbandAccess Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other devices.

Verizon's Wireless Sync always-on email service (subscription required), you can stay connected and get the job done while away from the office--without a delay and in a secure environment. Email is delivered to your device in real time across the National Enhanced Services Rate & Coverage Area, and you get the ability to forward large attachments via email as well as access both your personal and corporate emails on one device. Wireless Sync offers strong security with AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology so that unauthorized parties cannot access or alter application data transmitted over wireless networks.

The full QWERTY keyboard is great for working on important emails and Microsoft Office documents.

The integrated Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity also includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

Send and receive email from multiple corporate and personal email accounts, including POP3 and IMAP accounts. You can also setup wireless access to Microsoft Outlook email with a direct connection to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007. And it supports Good Mobile Messaging for secure, real-time access to email and corporate data. The Q9c can also send and receive instant messages using popular services such as Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger.

The integrated Windows Media Player Mobile allows you to play your favorite music, videos and more while you're on the go, and it synchs music seamlessly with Windows Media Player on a Windows-based computer.
