Default Motorola Q Norman Windows Mobile Smartphone Appeared on the Web

http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3452

"Is this the rumored and long awaited Motorola Q Pro, the UMTS/3G version of today's Motorola Q? Hungarian website Mobilemag.hu has published infos and photos of a so far unseen Motorola Q code named "Moto Q Norman". The Norman has a brand new black design (but still featuring the QWERTY thumb keyboard, for sure) and the keys seems to be bigger and flatter now. More shortcut keys can be found at the bottom of the keyboard, including shortcuts to media player, camera, calendar, contact list and volume control."

Here it is (drum roll please), The next Q killer! This is probably in fact the Q Pro we posted about earlier. Does the design look familiar to you? From the looks of this and I like the looks, things are heating up. The Blackberry has nowhere to hide now. Kris Kumar pointed out something interesting to me, this looks thicker than the current Q and perhaps has a larger battery. All you Dash lovers; is the honeymoon over?

Well, if this thing is a gsm phone and includes 3G and wifi - lookout! It's a hot little number. I'm still not through loving my Dash and I'm happy with it but this thing could really heat things up!

This one doesn't have a scroll wheel, though - it appears to be a slider switch. But I applaud this one anyway, as I prefer GSM over CDMA and the CDMA-ness of the original Q was my biggest beef with it.
