I have tried using two different sets of headphones on my Q9c with a Nokia 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. The sound only comes through one side on the headphones and it's so quiet, even with it at full volume it's not loud enough to hear it well enough. Of course Motorola is going to blame the Nokia adapter but I don't believe it matters whose brand name is on the adapter. It's a simple enough tool that it should work with anything.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix it?

It would probably help to set up gmail as IMAP. NOT POP. There are directions on how to do that on a Windows Mobile device. First, you have to set up gmail as IMAP in your gmail account. Then follow the directions below. This won't help you if you're using an exchange server and have it set up as Outlook on your phone. But if you set it up as just an email account it works perfect. This is how I have mine set up since I have my work email on an exchange server taking up the Outlook spot.

Windows Mobile 6

The Quick Answer

Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP access in Windows Mobile 6.
Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain name.
To configure IMAP for your Windows Mobile 6 device, just follow these steps:

Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
Open the Start menu and select Programs> Messaging> New E-mail Account.
Enter your Gmail address (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field*. Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com'*.
* Windows Mobile 6.1 users: Enter an unintelligible email address (such as 'g@g') at this step. This will bypass the automatic configuration for POP access.
Uncheck the box that asks to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
Enter your full email address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') and password.
Select Next.
Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
Select Done and then Next.
Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
Select Finish.
Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client's settings as needed.

I've had the Sprint Moto Q9c for almost 9 months now. It's a love/hate relationship for me. The phone looks really nice with the black and chrome. No other version has that look. The rubberized feel of the back I love, it feels sturdy and solid and heavy in my hand. Everybody is so big on thin and lightweight but I don't like that. That makes it feel cheap and flimsy to me. I like solid, heavy, thick. I want it to feel like a device not a cheap piece of plastic. It is also a dream to type on. I can fly through texts and emails on this phone. No other phone I've ever owned or tested compares to the keyboard on this beauty. And most importantly, it does everything. I had a list of things I wanted my phone to do and this was the only one where I didn't have to sacrifice anything. And it was the cheapest too. And with the extended life battery that comes with it, I never have to charge it at work or school. I love my phone. It's everything I wanted in a phone. But there is a big but.

I have had an unacceptable number of problems with it. In the 8 months + I've had it, I have had to do a master reset on it four times because it was severely malfunctioning. It'll get to a point where it's so slow all the time that when I push a button, I have to just set it down and walk away and check back with it later because it takes a couple minutes to register the button push and do the command. And when I type, no words appear on the screen so I can't see what I'm typing. The only way to fix it is a master reset. It performs great after the reset but then I have to reinstall all my apps, bring in all my web bookmarks again, set up all my settings and wallpaper again, etc. The only thing that makes it better is that I have a memory card in it and I store everything on that so nothing is lost and I can just reinstall my programs. And I have all my contacts and calendar backed up on the exchange server at work so that all comes back instantly as soon as I put the settings in again. But this is a big hassle. It takes two days to get it all set up again each time I do it. And my girlfriend has the same phone as me and has had several other problems. They replaced it once for her and the new one still acts up.

So the bottom line is, this is an excellent phone. One of the best out there and I love it. But it's also a phone riddled with bugs that some people won't be able to tolerate. In 6 months I'm getting an HTC Touch Pro and I'll officially retire my troublesome Q9c.
