Qtek 9000: huge cell phone with all the trimmings

Qtek_9000_w.jpg

If you want a cell phone with every bell and whistle available, look no further than the Qtek 9000. A monster of a phone, it has not one but two 1.3-megapixel cameras for some reason, MP3 and video playback, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Windows Mobile 5.0. The 9000 is powered by a 520-Mhz Intel processor and 128 MB of RAM, making it more of a small UMPC than a cell phone. It has a healthy 3.6-inch screen, a stylus, and a full QWERTY keyboard, so surfing the Web and writing e-mails should be a snap. Of course, the thing is gigantic, weighing in at 10 ounces, or about as heavy as three RAZRs taped together. Oh, and it costs $1,039, which is a bit steeper than you may be used to paying for your phones in an age of free equipment with new contracts. But hey, if you want to hold a little computer up to your ear when you make calls and have a grand to toss around, what's stopping you?

Thanks, Atlana!
