Moto Q 9m : Motorola Shows Off A Slick New Look for the Q

Motorola has unleashed a new smartphone that sports some serious specs and an ergonomic design to boot.

The Moto Q 9m sports the familiar QWERTY keyboard with a side-scroll thumbwheel and dedicated keys for some easy one-handed navigation. Even better, the device uses Verizon's V CAST 3G EV-DO network so it zips along at a respectable pace.

The phone supports over-the-air music downloads with the help of V CAST and comes in the pictured black and red design. What sets it apart from its predecessor is the phone's ergonomically optimized keyboard that allows for fast and accurate typing.

The phone will run Windows Mobile 6 and allows for voice-activiated dialing, smart contacts dialing and Bluetooth.

Look for the Moto Q music 9m to hit sheles for $299.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement.
