A First Look at the Motorola Moto Q Smartphone

Motorola changed the playing field with its wildly successful Razr cellphone - the best selling clamshell phone in the world. It set a new bar for the industry in terms of what was considered a "thin" phone. They are now taking aim at the PDAPhone market in the same way by delivering a device that is much thinner than anything we have seen before. Up until now, the convential Blackberrys had been the thinnest PDAPhones.

On May 22, Motorola announced the highly anticipated Moto Q and it will be available starting on May 31. Our own MobileRob has given us an official first look review available HERE. We have also launched a new forum for the Moto Q HERE.
