Motorola Q9h Gets Windows Mobile 6.1 Update

Motorola has finally made official the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for its Q9h smartphone.

This update was found some weeks ago leaked in an unofficial -- but near final shipping quality -- version. Now, with the update official, AT&T customers with a Q9h can enjoy some of the improvements of Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard on their devices.

For non-touchscreen smartphones such as the Q9h, Windows Mobile 6.1 adds a sliding panel interface for the Today Screen, improvements in handling wireless connections, and an update to Internet Explorer Mobile.
