Motorola has just rolled out the downloadable Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard upgrade for both the Moto Q9h and Q9h Global phones. As one would naturally expect upgrades to come with better things, this one offers a wee increase in speed with new operating system features such as a task manager, sliding panels and cut-and-paste. These are significant improvements over the Windows Mobile 6.0 which both Motorola Q9h and Q9h Global shipped with. Non-touchscreen users will benefit from the "sliding panel" home screen that looks more and more like the home screen found on touchscreen devices. Gotta love the threaded SMS function that is a boon to a communications-heavy device like the Q9 series, while the Task Manager makes it a snap to close bloated applications as and when you don't need them.
