Meet Motorola Moto Q - the super flat Microsoft smartphone July 26, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Updated: link to real-life photos of Motorola Q added at the bottom of this news item! Motorola RAZR V3 has been a big success and a major breakthrough for Motorola, that previously was doing some solid mobile phones, but they lacked style. With RAZR RV3 it all changed and many people consider it to be the most stylish phone on the market - and apart from that it is super flat and features industry standard mini-USB socket. 
Clearly Motorola wants to repeat the success of Motorola RAZR V3 - by using the same basic characteristics (super flat design, mini-USB socket) but in the area of smartphones: here we present several high resolution photos and specifications of Motorola Moto Q - the new Microsoft smartphone from Motorola! (yes, it is smartphone not Pocket PC as some other news sourcees have been reporting) High resolution photos of Motorola Q you can find below, but first information from Motorola itself follows. * * * * * * Introducing “Q” from Motorola The Thinnest, Lightest, Coolest QWERTY on the Planet The first no-compromises QWERTY is here: the new Q from Motorola.
