Engadget Explores Destination Q
"When word got out that Motorola's "pop-up store" on Chicago's Magnificent Mile would be called "Destination Q," we all knew it would be focused on their newest pride and joy, the Q. Perhaps we didn't realize just how focused it would be. Destination Q fills a portion of the space formerly occupied by the Terra Museum of American Art, located at 666 N. Michigan Avenue. It's an attractive facility both inside and out and was, in our opinion, a great place for Motorola to set up shop. " Back at the start of June we told you about Motorola's plan to open Q stores starting in Chicago. Well, Engadget crew rolled in and took a tour. They did a great job of covering off the store and all that it offers. Take a look and let us know if there's anything you like in the Destination Q.

Looks like that picture was shot in a mirror. See the writing on the building? It's backwards.

We don't seem to be too interested in the store itself do we? :rotfl:

Is this how Moto is planning on having millions of Q sold? :?
And how come they (Verizon) would not sell it to willing customers, not even at full price? :evil: |

Hey, I said kinda! I need to have one in my hands day to day. Motorola, I'm challenging you to give me a GSM version to use. Your harshest critic wants to give you a chance!

What does Q stand for anyway? Should people "Q"uestion themselves before buying one?
