"'Phone First' AND solid PDA (who knew?)"
Pros: Very reliable phone, excellent messaging
Cons: Kinda heavy, wide form factor took getting used to...
Summary: I was concerned about going from a WM5 Pocket PC/Phone (Samsung SCH-i730) to a 'smartphone', but the 'phone first' mantra from Motorola convinced me that nearly anything would be better than the 'nothing first' performance from my WM5.
The Q9m is a very strong device and it performs well under 'business' conditions (phone, MS Exchange synch'ng, web browsing, etc.). The bluetooth connectivity is excellent (speakerphone in the car, Moto stereo headphones, file exchange) and the battery life has been terrific.
I was holding out for the Samsung SCH-i760, and I thought that I would miss the stylus, but I am glad to be rid of it (I've lost more than a few).
Don't be weirded out by the wacky VZW main screen, you can switch out of that funky interface very easily to the pretty intuitive WM6 standard layout (I'll never go back).
