Mark over at Laptopmag has managed to get his hands on the new Moto Q music 9m and put it through the works. It’s more than just an update to the Q9, they’ve changed up the keyboard, gone up to Windows Mobile 6 and added support for V CAST Music.

I’m not going to spoil his entire review, but I’ll give you a quick rundown of the good and the bad. What was good about the new Q music 9m? It is sexy, the new keyboard makes typing much easier and quicker, V CAST Music is a welcome addition, as is Docs to Go. The new phone also has a cool interface that can be used to access all of your extra content from a single location.

It’s not all sunshine and daisies, as the lack of a dedicated volume control and the lack of V CAST are minor flaws that can be annoying. The largest downfall of the device comes in the way of slow internet speeds. It took nearly twice as long to load CNN.com than it did on an BlackBery Curve running on the EDGE network. That right there would be a deal-breaker for me.
