AT&T Relaunches MOTO Q9 Global with Windows Mobile 6.1, GPS

Humberto Saabedra

Following up on the Windows Mobile 6.1 update released for the MOTO Q9h  a couple weeks ago, AT&T has released another version of the device with the addition of Windows Mobile 6.1, and GPS support through AT&T Navigator in a striking silver pinstripe color.

The device is otherwise unchanged from the original Q9h which features a landscape QVGA display, QWERTY keyboard, microSDHC expansion slot, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, quadband GSM/EDGE and triband W-CDMA support with HSDPA high speed data, 2.0 megapixel camera, speakerphone, and Opera Mobile browser.  Despite the branding, the device does not support the 2100Mhz band necessary for 3G roaming around the world and instead refers to the quadband GSM/EDGE radio.

The Q9 Global is now available from AT&T for $249.99 after a new 2 year agreement before an additional $100 mail-in rebate bringing the total to $199.99.
