While Verizon's revamped MOTO Q, codenamed Napoleon, is still not officially confirmed, AT&T went ahead and released its new Windows Mobile 6.1 MOTO Q Global smartphone. The handset also has a new look (besides the upgraded OS), as its case is all dressed-up in silver, offering a pretty nice visual effect.

Like the original black MOTO Q Global, the new silver one comes with a wide range of business-oriented features, including: GPS and AT&T Navigator, GSM and 3G global connectivity, BlackBerry Connect, DataViz Documents To Go, Office Mobile, Opera browser, Mapquest Mobile a full QWERTY keyboard and so on. Furthermore, the handset also brings threaded SMS, Good Mobile Messaging, CrystalTalk technology, AT&T Mobile Music, AT&T MEdiaNet, Wikimobile, XM radio, mobiTV, an ebay application, a 2 Megapixel camera and expandable memory.

 

Weighing 4.73 ounces and measuring 4.65 x 2.63 x 0.47 inches, the smartphone packs a 750 mAh battery said to last up to 9 hours in talk-time mode or up to a whole month in stand-by mode.

 

Talking about the new handset, Juergen Stark, corporate vice president of Productivity, Mobile Devices, Motorola, Inc., said, "Consumers have been clamoring for a single device with the most advanced Windows Mobile software to keep them connected, informed and entertained, all while looking sleek and sharp. Motorola is proud to provide AT&T customers with one of the first devices featuring Windows Mobile 6.1, and the unparalleled smart phone experience of our MOTO Q Global."

 

US customers who want the new Motorola can find it either online, on AT&T's website, or in the carrier's stores from across the States.
