The Motorola Q9m is now available from Verizon Wireless and we’ve got one to try out for a while. You would think that it would be pretty much the same as the Motorola Q9h we reviewed earlier except maybe with a Verizon CDMA radio instead of GSM.

HTC Kaiser Review from CoolSmartPhone
CoolSmartPhone.com has posted a review of the much-anticipated HTC Kaiser. If don’t want to compromise on kit, get this device.
