The Moto Q9h, or the Moto Q Global as AT&T calls it, has the ability to access high-speed cellular data networks through its built-in 3G technology and its the first Moto Q smartphone sold in the United States with worldwide roaming capabilities.

The Moto Q9h incorporates quad-band EDGE technology that works around the world. The smartphone can be used in more than 135 countries for e-mail and Internet access and in more than 190 countries to make or receive phone calls.

The smartphone uses Windows Mobile 6 operating system. Other features include Opera Softwares advanced mobile browser, Documents to Go for document editing, seven shortcut keys, a 2.0-megapixel camera with flash, and built-in GPS. AT&T is providing two location-based services that take advantage of the smartphones GPS capabilities: TeleNav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving directions and TeleNav Track for managing mobile workforces.

Verizon Wireless and Sprint also offer Moto Q models with 3G, but they dont come with global roaming. Sprints Moto Q9c costs $150, while Verizon Wireless music-centric Moto Q9m costs $200.
