Anyone have any input as to how this compares to the LJ based V8?

If you wan't real multitasking pick up a smartphone. What's impotant to you is not important to most people, dosen't mean it's not cutting edge.

By "input" you just mean how it multitasks. I have the V8 but your comments are always so negative I don't think I'll pop the sim in it to check.

I agree!!! I'm loving it, thanks Motorola!! I sold my iPhone to get this puppy 2 days before the pricedrop,Talk about timing! I even figured out how to browse html iPhone style layout on the V9. It is really solidly built, tight battery cover, no wiggle in the flip, and being so heavy makes it really feel solid. I also love the "Haptics" on the touchscreen buttons, the volume rokr, smartkey and camera button. Good Move. :2thumbs:

I have both the v8 and I just got the V9. In the V8 there is an option to set the phone book to a "primary number". The V9 appears to not have the option as a result the home number always shows in the phone book listing.

Is there an option on the V9 that I am missing?

I have had the phone for just over 24 hours now.This phone has some of the best reception and voice quality I have ever heard. Where I work is right on the edge of 3g coverage, and currently most 3g phones are constantly switching between edge and 3g. Many are dropping calls when they switch and all are draining battery life. So far the v9, though it switches not so much, hasn't dropped a call yet. The voice quality is amazing. Going from a v3i, to a Samsung sync, to the v3xx, now v9 its incredible. This phone is the best I've used, and I used to say that about the v3xx.

The only thing I wish is that there was a way to enable reading txt messages on the outside screen, as well as have the phone talk enabled. Both I'm sure will be enabled later through some modding or updates, but just wish had them now.

Finally, the response I have gotten from everyone I have shown the phone too is phenomenal. After they see how gorgeous it looks and beautiful the screens are, they all want to know where they can get it, and how much it is. I plan on selling a ton of them. Just need maybe a few more colors(I work for a at&t agent)

Awesome Thanks! I really like the flicker, how it incorporates the external screen. The screen doing the flicker combined w/ the led charging lights would be the ultimate! :)

Something I figured out that might be helpfull to others. Are you tired of the V9 browser constantly sending you to mobile friendly or wap pages when you're trying to browse. Are your pages loading with text streched out in long columns or just layed out unusable?(for ex. howardforums.com). This setting will format your pages in true html layout like on the iPhone. It won't work on all pages though.

Launch Media Net, go to options/browser setup/preferences/fit to screen/turn off.

Exit Media net and re-launch.

Now your browser will display pages in true html format similar to the iPhone. Just press 1 to zoom in, 4 to zoom in dramatically, 7 to zoom out, 3 to scroll up, 9 to scroll down, 5 to click, * for full screen viewing, 0 to turn scan function on or off. And of course you can use the D-pad as well for Navigating. I got pm'd about browsing so I figured I'd post this here for others that may be having problems or are unaware of the great browser the V9 has. :buddies:

That's going to be very useful for a lot of people. Thank you so much.

My V9 is on the way, and I am going to remember this. :)

Has anyone been able to unlock the email feature and have the phone work with exchange yet??

Also, can you have all 3 IM's running at once..seems like you can only have one at a time???

I just purchased a V9 that supposedly has this capability. I'll let you know when I have it set up.

If I could replicate via the AOL iMAP server, that'd be great.

If I could replicate via the iMAP server and get a notification when one of the addresses has a message waiting, that would be really great. :)

Glad I could help guys! It took me a while to figure this out. I was experimenting with different browsers trying to get a true html experience when I stumbled across this setting in the stock browser. Now I can perform the functions I want like check my bank accounts etc. and pages are displayed just like they would be on my computer.(minus the flash) :2thumbs:

Has anyone else compared 3G with evdo? Here in the city if I change my band to evdo only I can browse a bit quickers than leaving it on automatic. This is just something I've noticed.
