PC World | at | by Mike
Motorola unveiled a slim smart phone with a QWERTY keyboard and Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 at its analyst conference this week, but details of the company's mobile music deal with Apple Computer are still waiting in the wings.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ed Zander showed off the Q smart phone at the Motonow event Monday night in Rosemont, Illinois, monitored via Webcast. It has a design similar to the popular Razr clamshell phone, though without a hinge, and should ship in the first quarter of next year, says Ron Garriques, executive vice president of Motorola and president of mobile devices at the company. The Q will include Bluetooth, a one-handed navigation thumbwheel, and a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, according to Motorola.
