Motorola Z9, one of the new Moto phones that has been "floating" around for quite a while but didn't get the chance to be released, is almost confirmed to be launched via AT&T,
the largest mobile carrier in the US (and in the whole North America actually).

Although rumors about Z9 coming to AT&T first appeared a few weeks ago, there were no official details to sustain them. Now we have what can go as "official", as the folks over at Engadget Mobile got their hands on some valuable images showing several accessories for Z9, found in AT&T's stores (the accessories, not the phone). This being said, the new Moto handset will probably see the "light of the market" starting the first days of April, which is great news for both Motorola fans and for mobile users in general, assuming they don't have anything against Moto's products.

Motorola Z9 is a slider phone that doesn't pack outstanding features but it still seems to be a good mid-end device. Although the phone is pretty slim, measuring 114 x 53.6 x 13.9 millimeters, it is not as lightweight as you would expect, weighing about 140 grams. Among its specifications we have a 2.4 inch display, A-GPS with turn-by-turn navigation, HSDPA (only the US version), dedicated music keys for easy access to all your favorite songs, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth, USB, CrystalTalk (enabling users to make perfect calls even in noisy environments), 45 MB of internal memory, microSD card support for up to 8 GB, and a pretty good battery that should allow you to use the device for 6 hours in talk-time mode and up to 13 days in stand-by.

There is no price yet for Moto Z9, but considering its features, we guess that, with an AT&T contract agreement, the phone cannot drain more than $200 from the pockets / cards of those who wish to buy it. Hopefully, our guessing abilities will not prove to be terrible.
