The report said the Q handset, which had a QWERTY keyboard and ran a version of Microsoft's Windows, entered a crowded field dominated by RIM's BlackBerry and Palm's Treo smartphones.
Motorola said the Q device would be available for US carrier Verizon Wireless customers on May 31. A version running on technology compatible with Cingular Wireless would be available at the end of the year, although Motorola did not specifically name the carrier.
