"The addition of UMTS to the Motorola Q family expands the capabilities and geographic reach for those that want a true mobile PC-like experience without the size and weight of a PC," said Ron Garriques, Executive Vice President, President, Mobile Devices, Motorola, Inc. "Q liberates everyone from the restraints of today's office and lets them stay productive, creative and entertained whenever and wherever they are."

The Q device family leverages Microsoft's familiar and trusted Windows Mobile software which delivers corporate mobile messaging support out of the box with Exchange 2003, and is also optimized for a variety of third party email solutions that enable an even broader set of corporate email capabilities.

The first Motorola Q is expected to be available this quarter on CDMA/EVDO and available for operator trials in late Q4 2006. At this time no operator customer relationships have been announced and pricing hasn't been disclosed. For additional details please contact your local Motorola representative.
