Q up for this Moto!

When one buys a high-end cellphone, one does expect to get some freebies with it. You know, the odd memory expansion card, some handy software and of course, the handsfree (Bluetooth if you are lucky, wired if you are not). Some companies even throw in some extras as a "limited period offer" or a "special offer."

But we were still staggered by what Motorola had thrown in with its Moto Q9h. Just take a look at this:

• 1GB memory expansion card (worth about Rs 1,200)
• Documents to Go software suite (worth about Rs 1,300)
• Opera Mobile cellphone Internet browser (worth about Rs 1,000)
• A portable charger that allows you to charge your phone when there are no outlets handy (worth Rs 3,500)
• An extra battery that can be added to the phone to almost double its battery life (worth about Rs 1,500)

(And yes, there is the standard handsfree as well.)

All of which adds up to something like Rs. 8,500 - give or take a few hundred. Which is more than a third of the price of the phone (Rs. 19,000). And it is a terrific phone too, although we do wish they had included Wi-Fi!

For some reason, Motorola has not mentioned all this in their ad for the device. We bet people would be queuing up for the Q if they had. Pun intended.
