Motorola in a partnership with Verizon Wireless released the Q on May 31, 2006. A version for Sprint was released early in January of 2007 and one for Amp'd Mobile in April of 2007.

The Q differs from Verizon's flagship Windows Mobile phone, the Treo 700w, in that it is very thin, runs the Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition OS (lacking touchscreen support), and has a landscape 320x240 screen. It also employs a thumbwheel on the right side of the unit, similar to the industry-leading BlackBerry. Motorola hopes to position the Q as an attractive alternative to the BlackBerry.

The Q was first released in Canada on June 15, 2006 with Telus Mobility. Bell Mobility began offering the phone later that year (September 22) and then became the first North American carrier to offer a black version of the Motorola Q on November 13, 2006.

In July 2007, the new model of the Moto Q, Motorola Q 9h will replace this.

Limitations

Picture messaging with Verizon: Picture messaging is disabled if user does not subscribe to a data package. Unlike non-smart phones which allow for a text & picture messaging package, when using the Moto Q with Verizon, picture messaging is treated as data transfer. If you use the Moto Q with Verizon and disable data transfer, then you lose the functionality which all non-smart phones have of sending and receiving picture messages

The following is a quote attributed to Verizon technical support: (Source: discussion forum post)

\"You are correct that you do not require a data package to synchronize the Motorola Q with your computer using ActiveSync. The data package is available and suggested if you plan on using the device to check email, browse the Internet or wirelessly update your device using Exchange ActiveSync or Wireless Sync on the Verizon Wireless network.

If you choose not to use data on the Motorola Q you will have to request a data block. The data block disables the device from using any of the above services including Picture Messaging. The Pay-As-You-Go KB package allows you to use data access at no charge monthly unless you use the Verizon Wireless network. Anytime data services are used you are charged $0.015 per KB sent or received\"

With the Moto Q and Verizon, if you are to use the pay-as-you-go KB plan, you will pay much more for a picture message than you will using a normal phone where the picture message would either be covered under your plan or cost as much as $0.25. Under the pay-as-you-go plan, a picture, which I have seen estimated at 120KB, would cost the user $1.80. That is over 7 times the cost that a non-smart phone user without a picture messaging plan would pay when using Verizon.
