"a rounded body and a tastefully-applied ring of chrome around the top edge" I think everybody else's Q9c already had the rounded body and the chrome. Actually, other than the chrome, I'm not sure this body is any different than the CDMA-only Q9c Verizon already has.
But I have to say I'm very impressed with the specs on this device. I believe this will be the first Windows Standard 6 device with WiFi; a major step forward.
And not only that, but the GSM radio has US bands in there as well and it does EDGE, not just GRPS.
The body of this phone actually lacks about 1/4" of "empty space" around the keyboard that the Q9C has, so there was actually a little nip tuck going on. A good move, IMO.
“There's a certain feeling of wading through water with this phone, as every time we went exploring the menus, we were met with a delay long enough to make us doubt our keystrokes registered.”
