Verizon Wireless and Motorola Inc. – both of whom are exhibiting at the United Telecom Council show in Tampa, Fla. – said on Monday the new Motorola Q phone will be available on May 31.
The device will be sold only through Verizon Wireless and is expected to be as popular, if not more so, than the hot-selling Motorola RAZR.
The QWERTY handheld Moto Q, as the phone is called, runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 software and uses the Verizon Wireless broadband network.
“The Moto Q is a real must-have device that enables true seamless mobility by liberating all of us from the constraints of our offices and living rooms,” said Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola. “On Verizon Wireless’ broadband EV-DO network, the Moto Q brings together all of the converged solutions you need to work, stay in touch or have fun. With the best voice, data and design technology in one ultra-thin, intelligent, hard-working device, the Moto Q allows you to be productive and entertained wherever you go.”
