Performance and Software
Equipped with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC, the Qtek 9600 provided functionalities akin to a portable computer more than a phone. Its 400 MHz Samsung processor, accompanied by 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM, supported multitasking at a modest pace. While the hardware appears modest today, it sufficed for the time's applications such as email, calendar, and simple browsing via Pocket Internet Explorer. Memory expansion was possible through a dedicated microSD slot, increasing storage capacity which was beneficial for media and document storage.
