A new Moto smartphone joined the Motorola Q9h in AT&T's lineup on Thursday. The Motorola Q Global is largely like the Q9h except it ships with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition and comes with a pinstripe design and metallic silver casing.

We're glad that some things remain the same as the smartphone continues to offer HSDPA support, integrated GPS, and Bluetooth. In addition, rather than the standard Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, the Q Global comes preloaded with the DataViz Documents to Go Suite and Opera Web browser.

Other highlights include support for Good Mobile Messaging and BlackBerry Connect; threaded text messaging, Moto's CrystalTalk technology for clearer calls; and a 2-megapixel camera. The Motorola Q Global is available now for $149.99 with a two-year contract.

What about that battery life? I'd be damned if I have to travel around with an "extended" battery....

My wife has the Q9h and went 3 days without recharging with the Q9h. She had bluetooth on and set her email to check every 30 min, all with the standard battery. The battery life takes a big hit with "push" enabled, but if you are not using that, battery life is a non issue.

no, only the quadband ones. In any case, this is referring to the fact that the first Q9's were CDMA (For verizon and sprint), thus, not using the global GSM standard used by AT&T and T mobile. This one is GSM, so it works globally, thus, Q Global.
