Everything Q

The Moto Q11 has been making the rounds this week with it's release in Brazil and now showing up on Motorola's site. It won't hit the states officially until December of this year, but we'd thought it'd be fun to see how the new Q compares size wise to the iPhone and the Moto Q9h Global. The Moto Q11 appears to be smaller from all angles, which I'm guessing should be more noticeable during an actual hands-on. When Palm made slight changes to it's Treo smartphone, photos just didn't do justice to what appeared to be small changes. You can discuss the newest smartphone from Motorola in our Moto Q11 forum.

Motorola today released the specifications for the Motorola Q11, along with news that the company expects the Moto Q11 to be released in the US in December of this year. Many have bemoaned the omission of 3G, but it appears Motorola is aiming to deliver an nice mix of features at an attractive price point. A recent report said that the average price of smartphones released in the US is $176. Apple's move to reduce the price of the iPhone 3G to $199 has put pressure on vendors to be more aggressive when it comes to pricing their phones. Of course, the devil is in the details with the iPhone 3G, as the overall cost of ownership is higher than the first generation iPhone. Palm has seen great success with their $99 Palm Centro and perhaps that is what Motorola has in mind. On their site, Motorola describes the Motorola Q 11 as:  For mobile professionals and consumers who want a fully featured smartphone complete with a QWERTY keypad for fast messaging, easy access to email, location services and multimedia applications, the MOTO Q 11 delivers all of this at an affordable price.

Is the lack of 3G a deal breaker or do you think a WiFi/GPS enabled Moto Q 11 would be attractive at the right price?  Let us know in the comments.

We knew the Motorola Q11 was going to be released in Brazil, but now comes word it will come as soon as tomorrow. ZumoBlog is reporting that the Motorola Q11 will release tomorrow in Brazil on Vivo and Claro. Outside of the lack of 3G (big miss), the specficiations are impressive (WiFi and GPS). Impressive enough to jump from 9 to 11, we're not so sure. The unlocked price is a whopping $899 US. No word yet if this will make it's way to the US.

• GSM/EDGE
• 3 megapixel camera
• 1 GB microSD included (expandable to 32MB)
• 3.5mm plug for headphones
• Windows Mobile 6.1

The Motorola Q11 appears to be close to release, well at least in Brazil. The rumored specifications are surprising to say the least, with the Q11 offering quad-band EDGE and no 3G. We have certainly seen different variants of the Motorola Q  series, so it's entirely possible that a 3G version of the Motorola Q11 lands on our shores, if it is indeed slated for a US release.

Other specifications of the Motorola Q11 include: stereo Bluetooth, WiFi, miniSD expansion, a 2.5mm headphone jack, and a 3-megapixel camera with flash. In Brazil, it's expected the Q11 will find it's way to ClubeCelular.

Photos of what appears to be the Motorola Q11 surfaced yesterday courtesy of our friends at Mobility Today. The Moto Q11 appeared in the Bluetooth SIG product just a few weeks ago when there was speculation that it might be the rumored Moto Q codenamed Alexander. From the photos, the Moto Q 11 appears to be more of a variant of the Q9 series, but with some specification upgrades. The Moto Q appears to have GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6.1 and a 3 megapixel camera. No word on yet on the processor.

You can discuss the Moto Q 11 in the future Motorola Q smartphones section of our forums.
