The Motorola Q9c was a smartphone first released in 2007. Initially released as an upgrade to Motorola's Q Series, the Q9C contained a Windows Mobile 6 operating system, push email and instant messaging capabilities, a 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo sound, as well as Bluetooth and GPS navigation.

In addition, the Motorola Q9c also had more advanced features for the time, such as EV-DO high speed data, voice dialing and a full HTML web browser capable of surfing the internet, while being able to use simple e-mail functionality.

Sprint released the Q9c in 2007, and Verizon originally released the Q9c for their network in June 2008. Alltel and U.S. Cellular subsequently released the Q9c in the summer of 2008. AT&T's last used model was the Q9h model, which is the GSM version of the same phone.

In June 2008, Motorola added a software update allowing Sprint customers to officially upgrade their operating system to Windows Mobile 6.1. The phone was discontinued on 13th February 2007.
