The Sprint Q9 uses the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
The Motorola Sprint Q9 is a smart phone featuring a media player, text messaging, digital camera, and 3G Internet capability. Sprint locks the Q9 phone from being used on other networks, such as Cricket. You can flash the phone by downloading a PRL file that unlocks the device so it can be used on the Cricket carrier. You can complete the entire process using your phone and the Motorola CDMA General phone software.
