How to Enable JavaScript on a Q9C
The Motorola Q9C cellular phone runs the Windows Mobile operating system. The default web browser included in the Windows Mobile installation is Pocket Internet Explorer. Some websites depend on a JavaScript engine in order to render properly; the level of JavaScript support in Pocket Internet Explorer falls short of what those websites need. In order to view, and interact with, those websites properly you have to install a separate web browser with adequate JavaScript support. Opera Mini is the best free available web browser for the Q9C.

Using Pocket Internet Explorer on the phone, navigate to the Esmertec JBed download page (see Resources). Because the Q9C does not have a Wi-Fi network adapter, you must browse and download over the data network of your cellular service provider. Download and install Esmertec JBed. You must install this Java Virtual Machine before Opera Mini, because Opera Mini is written in Java and therefore needs JBed in order to execute.

Tips & Warnings
In Opera Mini, zoom into any area of a web page to see it more clearly on the Q9C's screen. However, wait until the page has finished loading before attempting to zoom in or to follow another link.
If your web browsing feels sluggish with the pre-installed Pocket Internet Explorer, you will experience a dramatic improvement after installing Opera Mini. In addition to having the JavaScript support that Pocket Internet Explorer lacks, Opera Mini also renders web pages and processes user input much faster.
