We weren't really seeing a market for Motorola's Q9 with the 3G removed, but we suppose that's what makes us journalists, and Motorola... Motorola. In its infinite wisdom, Moto has released the Q9e on its US web store, which is simply a Q9 with a quadband GSM radio that tops out with EDGE data -- no WiFi or anything cool like that. It's running Windows Mobile 6.0, features a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash, and is encouraged for purchase as part of a package with the T815 GPS module for a grand total of $724.98 unlocked. Any takers?

that too without WiFi and 3G.
yes for sure.

some phone like motorola Q9h is available for $450 in india, so how come this phone is so costly

ATT used or even refurb + unlocked = 200-250$ with 3G and GPS. This time around standalone fails. As far as the phone itself, its mindblowing and if anyone here truly appreciates WM and gprs this is the way to go.

'cuz we don't really need it? Find me an unsecure hotspot on any given road while you're driving and then tell me we NEED wifi as primary mobile internet means.
