We're not going to recapitulate the whole torrid history of Nokia and Qualcomm, we'll just say that the two have buried the hatchet and moved on. As a sign of perhaps good faith, we noticed (and wondered) what the "Q" logo was during the Sea Ray's boot sequence (0:46). MonSmartphone was sharp enough to make the connection that it's Qualcomm's "Q" meaning that indeed, Nokia and...
Back from the dead, the Motorola Napolean has made it into the hands of a PhoneArena reader [via], and with Verizon branding to boot. As it stands, the Napolean will have both GSM and CDMA radios, along with a QVGA display, 2MP camera and WiFi, as well as a fingerprint sensor. Whether any of that would survive the Verizon cutting-room floor, or whether the Napolean actually will see the...
Oh, Moto, say it ain't so. Word on the streets (that'd be the EverythingQ streets) is that the foundering Motorola has given up the ghost on the Q line and replacing it with ... well, that remains to be seen. EverythingQ is confident in its sources, but this is still unofficial news, so anything's possible. But consider the following: The lackluster Q11 (lackluster as in minor cosmetic...

A few reviews back I extolled the virtue of using a charger cradle for your 700w smartphone and today I
What what?! The Boy Genius has a gallery up of a Motorola Q9 - a GSM version nearly identical to the Motorola Q9h / Q9Global, only this puppy has WiFi built-in. No word on whether or not it retains GPS, but it won't retain the “Global” as the bands on board are 850/1900 MHz- that'd be US only. A perusal of the screen shots does show that the device keeps all the extra apps that AT...
As was foretold at this site in October, so it has come to pass. The surprise Motorola Q9 with WiFi that the Boy Genius recently got his hands on has turned out to be more surprising than anybody expected: it's loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1. BGR is down for the count at the moment, but when they return this page should give you a 100 picture gallery of WM6.1. Engadget managed to...
Update: Looks like out intuition that it was the same clueless person who used a PalmOS screenshot on the image at right who also dubbed the Sprint Q9c the "Q2." Both have been fixed at Sprint's promo site. It will indeed be the Q9c, so we can breathe a sigh of relief about that. Then take another breath and hold it until Sprint releases the sucker on Black Friday. Alright, I've...
Qusers has a nice little roundup of Motorla's announcement yesterday. Here's the skinny: the Q9h is coming to Italy, the GSM version of the Q is going to be called the Q8, and both sport WM6. Basically, the "announcement" doesn't bring us anything we hadn't already expected and will do little to help with Moto's recent woes. The Q9h still looks pretty good to me, but I expect it will...
Everything Motorola Q notes that Motorola is sponsoring a survey about the Q, the questions look to mainly be about whether or not you feel the need to pimp it out and how good a job the Q does at, uh, being pimped. There is a "general feedback" section, though, which I suspect will be filled with comments about the battery life and the creaky plastic. Or at least that's what I put in...
There's been some noise over the weekend and early this week about the Motorola Q9h, so let's take a gander. First up, the Boy Genius reports that AT&T should be releasing the beast in August: If you take the word of one of BGR's top informants, then yes, the Motorola Q 9h will launch on AT&T in August. ...Which is good news for folks looking to get a new phone, but bad...
No surprise here, but it's nice to see it officially: Amp'd (yes, we're sweet on them) now offers the MotoQ. One interesting bit: they've customized the wazoo out of it, including a snazzy interface: Amp’d is the first US carrier to utilize Adobe’s Flash Lite technology as the main user interface. With this technology, consumers will experience Amp’d Live’s robust broadband content...
I've been using the YAQKWMS (Yet Another Qwerty Keyboard Windows Mobile Smartphone) tag for awhile now as a sort of inside joke - well, if a joke that only I get counts as "inside." Anyway, the punchline to this interior humor is that these phones are pretty tough to distinguish from one another. They all share Windows Mobile 5 with few (if any) software enhancements, they all have...
Engadget noticed that Amp'd Mobile, that hippest of the MVNOs, will be getting the Motorola Q (no, not the Q9 or, it appears, even the Q Pro). We saw this coming back in November, now everybody else can see it too. Looks like some fool revealed Amp'd's next phone by leaving a user manual up on their downloads site.

Today was supposed to be the day for Windows Mobile 6, but after the embargo on was was broken late last week, a lot of the details are already widely known. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a bunch of new info that you'll want to know about today. The most exciting bits: photos of WM6 running on a bunch of old and new devices - photos after the break. It appears that T-...
Engadget confirms that GSM users will indeed find the Q available to them (Edge only, though, sorry). Q2 is mentioned too, which has something to do with HSDPA, EVDO, and, according to Engadget, Norman. Perhaps the more provocative announcement, though, involves the mysterious Q2 (is that pronounced Q squared?), a device whose formal introduction is promised for 3GSM next month....
Here you go, Verizon users, a black MotoQ for a $50 premium. Looks like it's got that "soft-touch" paint that's popular with the kids these days. Nothing special in terms of hardware or software improvements, though. Just black. They should watch out, though, looks like RIM is suing anybody who puts the word "black" in their product title. Verizon Wireless today announced a...
Looks like Canada will be first out of the gate with the Black MotoQ. Specs are identical, though it might be worth mentioning that they're using a "soft-touch paint" that's seems to be popular ever since Palm put it on their 750v. No word on what the frozen climes of Canada will do to the MotoQ's battery life. *Motorola Canada Ltd. today announced the global launch of the Moto Q...
C|Net Asia pits the now-venerable (my, how quickly phones become "venerable" these days) against newcomer DoPod C720W/HTC Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash (my, how quickly I get tired of HTC allowing their devices to get 300 different names). Both are WM5 Smartphone Edition QWERTY slabs, both are thin and pretty good looking. I think they're right to give the Dash the win, though - I likes me...
EverythingQ notes another Q is coming - this time for Pay-As-You-Go MVNO amp'd mobile. Apparently they'll be bumping up the feature set too - adding the SlingMobile player and improving the camera. From Everything Motorola Q
