Hello Moto
In a strange turn of events, Boy Genius Report recently discovered that a brand new Motorola Q9 that it had received comes pre-loaded with a yet unseen version of Windows Mobile, v6.1.
Following the discovery, a no doubt frantic search for new features was undertaken, resulting in the following discoveries:
- Copy / Paste (finally!)
- Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
- New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.)
- Change Master Security Code
- Added text input settings
- Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
- Threaded SMS!
- When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the "To:" field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
- Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface
Whilst the interface itself, pictured below, doesn't look all that different, some of the above features will be a very welcome addition to the Windows Mobile platform. Particularly copy and paste, at long long last.
No news yet on when, or indeed if, we can expect other mobile networks to provide upgrades to Windows Mobile 6.1 on various devices. In the meantime, head over to Boy Genius Report for many more images.
