Motorola has announced what they call "The Thinnest, Lightest, Coolest QWERTY on the Planet," the Moto Q smartphone. Like the Blackberry and Treo, the Moto Q combines the features of a traditional mobile phone with email capability.

The new Q from Motorola is smart, powerful, and devastatingly good-looking. The Moto Q is the world's thinnest, lightest QWERTY phone -- delivering a fully-loaded package of email, voice, and entertainment in one amazingly rich but thin device. Like its cousin the RAZR, the Q's superior voice quality makes it a stand out from the competition.

Boasting flexible mobile email featuring Microsoft's Windows Mobile software, advanced cellular phone technology, rich multimedia capabilities and an easy-to-use one-handed navigation thumbwheel, the Moto Q is unique. An all-in-one handheld designed to deliver true seamless connectivity, the Q will help mobile professionals improve productivity through the power of seamless mobility.

"Wickedly cool -- when's the last time you heard those words used to describe a QWERTY device?" said Ron Garriques, president mobile devices business, Motorola. "Probably never. At least until now. With the Moto Q, we've combined the best voice, data and design technology in one ultra-thin, intelligent, hard-working, and incredibly must-have device. Today's office space has the potential to be any place you want it to be with Q."

The Moto Q is expected to be available in Q1 2006.
